Apple Beta Releases

I updated to the public beta of IOS 18.1.
The two finger gesture to start Brille input mode is no longer working with my 12 Pro iPhone.
I am wondering if this is a localized thing, or if others are
experiencing this issue as well after updating.
I had to put Braille Screenn input back in the rotor.

Looks like I jumped the gun.
The upgrade to 18.1 shut off the Braille input gestures in Braille settings for some reason.
I.G. the input gestures with two fingers on eithe rside would not work.

Can anyone else reproduce this? I was thinking of starting to test beta with my new iPhone but braking BSI as you describe would be a deal breaker.

To me BSI gesture is working.
I'm using an iPhone 15 Pro.
I'm running beta 5 developers.

Hi,
It works for me, under developer beta 5. I also have mine setup to open automatically, whenE I enter any text field.
