Apple has confirmed that iOS 18 Beta 2 will be released by Monday 40 with two new features—iPhone Mirroring and SharePlay.
There are a number of features announced with iOS 18 that we’ve covered 17 before. However, some features won’t be ready yet until later in the year.
The beta testing process gives us better chances of receiving the entirety of the update prior to general release. Moving on, iPhone Mirroring will allow Mac users to mirror their iPhone display to their Macs.
This includes interacting with the iPhone by receiving its notifications on your Mac and seamless drag-and-drops in-between.
As for SharePlay, it’s a screen sharing service with enhanced capabilities. For example, users can draw on someone’s screen or control their screen to take actions themselves.
Alongside these new features, iOS 18 Beta 2 is likely to come with bug fixes, tweaks, and more. iOS 18 Beta 2 is set to release for developers on Monday. This will come presumably with the second betas for iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, tvOS 18, visionOS 2, and watchOS 11.
In that regard, a public beta will be available in July. Apple noted on multiple instances that select Apple Intelligence features will undergo beta testing this summer.
