The first beta of iOS 9.2 introduced some changes for the Safari View Controller within apps, letting it work more like the standard Safari app with support for third-party Action Extensions and the ability to long tap on the Reload button to reload content without content blockers or request desktop site.

iOS 9.2 also includes a number of bug fixes and performance enhancements, many of which are under-the-hood improvements. Thus far no other outward-facing changes have been discovered, but updates in the second beta will be listed below if found.

Bug Fixes in iOS 9.2 Beta 2:

– Un-paring and re-pairing the Apple Watch will no longer cause the Stocks glance to go missing.

– Syncing Music to the Apple Watch has been fixed.

– An issue impacting audio quality when playing audio over USB in some car stereos has been fixed.

– A bug with iCloud Keychain has been fixed, so users should no longer see “Could Not Set Up iCloud Keychain” errors.

– Videos with ‘folw’ track associations will no longer fail yo play on 32-bit devices.
