The iOS 14.2/ iPadOS 14.2 Beta2 update mainly fixes some bugs. The functional update still retains Beta 1 content. For example, it brings a new music recognition control function to the control center and strengthens the integration of the Shazam application in the iOS operating system.
Music recognition can help users identify the music being played, and can also identify the music being played by other apps, even if the user is wearing AirPods.
Users can add the Shazam music recognition function to the control center through the “Control Center” option in “Settings”. To use the music recognition function, you need to open the control center first, and then tap the Shazam icon to start individual music recognition.
It is worth mentioning that the iPhone/ipad has been able to wake up and use Shazam through Siri or Shazam applications before, but in any case, the ability to add shortcuts to the control center option at least allows users to use the music recognition function more conveniently.
The new version update also includes a redesigned “Now Playing” widget that lists recently played albums. When users are not playing music, they can try to listen to these albums. In addition, AirPlay also has a redesigned interface and supports to help users more easily play music on multiple AirPlay 2 devices at home.
For users with poor eyesight, Apple has added a “human-machine detection” function to the magnifying glass application, which uses the iPhone lens to make users more intuitively understand the distance to other people, which may be very useful for social interaction.
The update numbers are as follows:
macOS Big Sur 11 beta 9 (20A5384c)
iOS 14.2 beta 2 (18B5061e)
iPadOS 14.2 beta 2 (18B5061e)
