During the afternoon of yesterday, Spanish time, the Cupertino-based company took the opportunity to launch betas of the new operating systems that will hit the market in September. These new betas, like the previous ones, are only available to developers, so if you are not enrolled in the developer program you will not be able to install or test them, unless resorting to certain tricks that allow us to do so. The main novelty that tvOS 10 Beta 2 has brought us is the complete renewal of the Apple Music application, where we can see how the user interface has improved a lot compared to the first tvOS 10 beta.

This second beta of tvOS 10 arrives three weeks after the launch of the first betas after the completion of the keynote where the company presented the news that will arrive in a few months. In this new beta, Apple has also focused on improving the Apple Music interface, in improving performance and operation, thanks to the feedback you are getting from the developers who have installed it and are conducting tests to see how it works.

One of the novelties of tvOS 10, although we could include it in iOS 10, being an application for iPhone, is called Remote and allows us to perform the same functions of the Siri Remote through our iPhone. In this way if we do not have time to look for it we can control it directly with our iPhone.

One of the novelties that this second beta of the Remote application brings us, It allows us to wirelessly control the third generation Apple TV with software version 7.2.1 and the second generation Apple TV with software version 6.2.1. Of course, Siri functions will only be available on the fourth-generation Apple TV, although the button is available if we are controlling an unsupported device.
