Earlier today, Apple released a new iOS 6 beta to developers, introducing the usual “bug fixes and improvements”. Below is a list of all the new buttons
and changes we’ve found so far. If you happen to spot any more, send them our way at tips techn0updates@blogspot.in
The first thing you’ll see when installing beta 2 is actually a change that was technically made in beta 1: when installing an OTA update, the cogs in the Settings icon on the Software Update page spin (not the ones on the actual home screen, though).
Check out even more changes after the break.
One of the bigger changes in the new beta is the inclusion of a toggle to control whether or not you can use iOS 6′s new Shared Photo Streams feature. The toggle is in both the Photos settings page and the iCloud settings.
Apple also jumped on board with the new Twitter icon systemwide, showing us what the new Twitter for iPhone icon will look like even before Twitter released the update.
Speaking of Twitter, iPhone 4S users will find that the TweetSheet inside the Siri UI has been slightly redesigned, although the change has not yet made its way to the rest of the TweetSheets in this update.
Finally, one little change was made to the Cellular settings page, which now has a toggle for syncing Reading List over 3G below the iCloud Documents and iTunes switches. Previously the only place to change the Reading List option was in the Safari settings.

And for those of you who are curious, @iH8sn0w has discovered that beta 2 expires on July 31st (which is the same day Apple shuts down iWork.com).

Do not Disturb:
When you enable or disable the "Do not Disturb" toggle, iOS indicates that the feature is activated with a moon logo in the status bar. In iOS 6 beta 2, the moon icon seems to be appear and disappear in an animated way. It's a very subtle change. Thanks Esteban for the tip!

The keyboard no longer skips keyboard click sounds while typing at a steady, fast pace .
