Daniel Hruska We recently brought you a look at first beta version iOS 6. We showed you the main attractions of the new mobile system, such as the Do Not Disturb function, Facebook integration, the new Clock application on the iPad, the changed environment of the music player in the iPhone, and other news. The new maps did not dazzle, he was devoted to them separate article. Apple has a good three months to tweak and tweak with its partners. So what other interesting features and details are present in the system?
Readers are reminded that the described functions, settings and appearance only refer to iOS 6 beta and may change to the final version at any time without notice.
Receiving a call
Someone calls you, but you just can't answer because you're in a meeting, you're sitting in the middle of a full hall during a lecture or you can't hear anything over the noisy surroundings, so you'd rather not take the call. Of course you want to call later, but the human head is sometimes leaky. Similar to how the camera is launched from the lock screen, a slider with a phone appears when you receive a call. After pushing it up, a menu for accepting or rejecting a call, a button for sending one of the pre-prepared messages and a button for creating a reminder will appear.
App Store
First, everyone will notice the new colors in which the app store is wrapped. The upper and lower bars have been given a black coat with a matte texture. The buttons are more angular, similar to the music player in iOS 5 on iPad and iOS 6 on iPhone. The iTunes Store has also been modified in the same spirit. However, more users will appreciate that the App Store remains in the foreground when installing or updating an app. An inscription indicates the progress of the installation in the background Installing on the buy button. The icons of newly installed applications will be given a blue ribbon with the inscription around the upper right corner, similar to iBooks New.

Removal of redundant notifications
This ailment must have been noticed by almost all users of multiple iDevices, typically iPhone and iPad with iOS 5. You know it - a notification about a new comment will come under your post on Facebook, which you look at, for example, on an iPhone. Then you come to the iPad and lo and behold, the number one in the badge is still "hanging" above the Facebook icon. iOS 6 should give developers tools to solve this sync between multiple devices. As an example, Apple got rid of the problem of double notifications in the first beta of its applications.
Music player button reflections
The iPhone's music player application not only got a new look, but with the use of a gyroscope and an accelerometer, an unnecessary, but all the more beautiful detail was added. The imitation metal volume button changes its texture when the iPhone is tilted. It then appears to the human eye as if it were actually made of metal and reflects light differently at different angles. Apple was very successful at that.
A little better Reminders again
When Apple introduced Reminders as part of iOS 5, it didn't live up to the expectations of many Apple users - especially when it comes to the location of designated reminders. Until now, it was only possible to create a reminder for a contact with a filled-in address, which is a rather strange solution. In iOS 6, the location can finally be entered manually, in addition, developers received a new API for working with this native application. iPad owners with a GPS module can also be pleased, because they will finally be able to use location reminders. Other cosmetic adjustments are the manual sorting of items and their red coloring when not completed by the deadline.
Selecting an alarm ringtone from the music library
In the Clock app, you can select any song from your music library. Who knows, maybe one day we'll see this step in the ringtone as well.
I didn't notice the redundant notifications, but I know I was terribly annoyed with iMessages.
Can you please share your experience with Beta 2 with the bug rate? After last year's experience with iOS5, when there were really a lot of problems in the first and second betas and with functions that ran without problems in iOS4 (which, of course, is nothing against the iOS developers, it's just a beta and it's true that everything was fine-tuned for the autumn sharp version …), I preferred not to install iOS6 yet this year. Can you compare iOS5 and iOS6 beta in this regard? Thanks
2 I installed the beta yesterday evening and without a problem....
Cus, can it be downloaded from somewhere without the developer's credit? Thanks for the reply.

Apart from the Sports Tracker, everything runs fine on the iPad 2.
You can also set a song for the Alarm on the iPhone.
Thanks for the clarification.
Wake up yeaahhh
"Music player button reflections" when I noticed it on my iPhone I didn't know if it was just my imagination or if it was really changing :D
I backed up my iPhone to a PC and wanted to restore it. AND NOTHING!!! In the middle it bit that the backup is damaged. I tried other backups and again nothing.
Thanks to all the developers for a great Sunday and bringing all the data together. Could someone advise me where to dig out at least the photos from the backup? I have iTunes on win7 in Air.
THANKS
:-) so someone here is begging for a ban from Apple :-) ...I tried the maps myself and after publishing it on my blog I already got a warning :-) ...but thanks...maybe I didn't notice that button... ...and it showed up today beta 2... so maybe Air Video will also work...
