How to update?
If you want to update your iPhone or iPad, it is not complicated. You just need to go to Settings -> General -> Software Update, to find, download, and install the new update. If you have set automatic updates, you don't have to worry about anything and iOS or iPadOS 14.2 will be installed automatically at night, i.e. if the iPhone or iPad is connected to power.
The stupid app library is unchanged¿ And it writes amazing question marks on the iPad keyboard? it gets better and better (iPad Air 2019)
I have stopped receiving messages on my iPads (the latest iPad Pro and the latest iPad mini) and on my iPhone some are getting and some are not. This is another baked update. ?
Interestingly, after restarting everything, the missing (lost) message suddenly appeared on my Watch, but still nowhere on the iPhone. And all today's news is missing on iPads. Restarting and turning iMessage off and on didn't help either. And I have them turned on for iCloud on all devices. What with this? For the money and it's useless.
Jojo today's news is gone, at the same time WOS 7.3 was released
I think this is the TOP of the changes in IOS
"Over 100 new emojis, including animals, food, faces, household items, musical instruments, and gender-inclusive emojis"
How could I be an applist without it!!!
And what bothers you about it? what is the problem with not writing it in the release notes?
On iPhoneSE after the update, the phone mutes when the call ends. Can't you advise?
Apple pay stopped working on iPhone X
Don't know if there is a goose among the emoticons? Would I really need her?
After the update, my complete data from the health app was deleted. Could not load anything. If I open it in the settings, the phone freezes and I have to restart. In total, I have already restarted 4 times because they freeze and other applications. I waited in vain for the option to share/play photos/videos on TV. Why can't it???
SE 1 ios 14.2 great :-/ it freezes itself when playing, touch id only works sometimes, and I feel that the battery life has decreased.
