iOS 5 Beta 2 - Features and Changes

iOS 5.0 beta 2 was released yesterday and there have been a few new features spotted. Most of these are extremely minor changes, however there is one major feature that was turned on in the below


New Notification Lock-Screen Look

Not so much new, however it is a minor change. When your phone receives a notification it will display the most recent one as a bubble. Then, when the notification has been there for a minute or so, it turns into the bars like the previous beta.

WiFi syncing
This feature was a major one featured at WWDC ’11. Really, it works as expected with no errors. I restored my iphone last night and set it to WiFi sync; this morning, all my content was on it. It was truly amazing and is definitely the way of the future.


Crisper Font in Messages 
Messages application it has a new font looks a lot crisper. You can see a picture of that below.
iCloud icon changed
In iOS 5beta 1, the icon for iCloud in settings was originally purple. Not anymore, the purple icon has been replaced by the brushed aluminum one, and it looks a lot better.
This beta 2 update doesn't  have change log like we seen in beta 1....
