iOS 12.1 Public Beta 2 Now Available For Download

iOS 12.1 will be the first major software updated of the 12th iOS generation. The upcoming version is currently available for public beta testing, which means that you can jump the gun and download it on your iPhone or iPad right now. What you need to be aware of though, is that a beta version is more likely to include a series of bugs too so be prepared to accept them or else refrain from updating.

iOS 12.1 is a significant software update because it plans to introduce a series of features that have been announced for iOS 12 but haven’t been ready for launching a few weeks ago when the 12th iOS generation premiered. I’m talking about Group FaceTime, eSIM support and Real-Time Depth Control. On top of that, as usual, Apple plans to add a series of new emojis along iOS 12.1, around 70 of them it appears.
