Apple has seeded the next instalment of iOS 5.1, version beta 2. As always, at this stage it is available for testing purposes only and the access is granted only to certified Apple developers. Among other features, this version has now an option which helps iOS users to remove photos captured on your iPhon, iPad or iPod Touch from the Photo Stream.

If you take some photo which needs to be removed for any reason, it can now be easily deleted from your Photo Stream. This means that it wont be shared through the iCloud to your other devices running iOS 5.1. Still, photos captured earlier will have to be removed manually from your connected iOS 5.1 devices.
