9to5mac’s take
Obviously the big feature for iOS 14.2 beta 2 are the new emoji characters. In all there are 117 new emoji, but there are a few that immediately stand out to me as go-to favorites, such as the disguised face, the smiley with the tear, and the ninja.
The latest iOS beta releases continue to build on the major changes and refinements brought forth by the iOS 14 public release earlier this month. As we’ve showcased in the past, iOS 14 is jammed packed with tons of new changes and features. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out our hands-on video walkthrough that covers 250+ new changes, and after that watch our walkthrough of the top 10 iOS 14 features.
