We have had the first betas of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 on our devices for two weeks after their official presentation at WWDC24. Since then they have been published and breaking down almost all the news that were released in that first beta. However, Many functions are still pending for the final launch and little by little they will be released beta by beta. In fact, Apple has released beta 2 for developers of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, with interesting news especially for American users who will be able to try the iPhone Mirroring functions or the SharePlay news that we Europeans will not be able to enjoy for the moment.

Apple has released, as it had confirmed just a few days ago, the beta 2 for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 developers. So far Apple has only published the betas for developers, leaving users registered within the Public Beta Program that will begin its journey throughout the month of July without betas for the moment. The advantages of having these betas, especially for developers, is offer feedback to Apple to improve and polish the entire operating system ahead of the official launch in September.
This beta 2 of iOS 18 has the build number 22A5297f and It is now available from the Settings app within Software Updates. Apple confirmed a few days ago that in this beta 2 users will be able to see and use the iPhone Mirroring function that allowed them to see the iPhone screen in macOS Sequoia, as well as have the latest news around SharPlay.

What has emerged regarding this latest operating system is that Apple has finally complied with the request of the European Union to comply with the Digital Markets Law by providing the iPad through iPadOS 18 with all the news related to Alternative stores that were introduced in iOS 17.4 on the iPhone.
