iOS 18.5 Beta 2 Released: What’s Under the Hood for Developers and Enthusiasts?

Apple has released the second developer beta of iOS and iPadOS 18.5. The first beta version did not introduce significant changes. While iOS 18.5 is not expected to include major new features—since development for iOS 19 is already underway—a few minor surprises are possible, similar to last year's iOS 17.5 updates. So far, the only notable change in beta 2 is an option to disable contact photos in the Mail app.
