Apple iOS 14 6 Vital iPhone Update With Urgent Fixes & Cool New Features

The latest Apple iPhone software is iOS 14.6. You can read about one of the neatest new features here, and five other cool extras here. The fact that new features are arriving just a matter of days before iOS 15 will be revealed to developers (on June 7) is hugely impressive, and there’s more to come: iOS 14.7 is in beta right now! Here’s what’s in the update, and how to get it. This update is for compatible iPhones, with iPadOS 14.5 which is simultaneously released for compatible iPads. Compatibility for the phones goes back to the iPhone 6s, including iPhone SE (both the first and current editions), plus the seventh-generation iPod touch. For iPads, if you have any iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 or more recent, iPad mini 4 or newer and iPad from fifth generation onwards then you’re good to go. Updating is easy as pie, as you’ll know this by now. Go to the Settings app on the iPhone (or iPad) and choose General, then Software Update. Then it’s Download and finally, Install. This is a medium-sized update and won’t take too long to install. What’s in the update? The new features are pretty cool. Apple Card family With this, you can share an Apple card between family members, with up to five people sharing an Apple Card. Apple Music Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio. Though neither is front-and-center today, this update lays the foundations and an update on Apple’s servers will make it so. Apple Podcasts Subscription Support With subscriptions, more content can be unlocked and you’re now able to subscribe to channels as well as individual shows. Apple AirTag and Find My You can now add an email to your Find My account so that if someone finds your AirTag in Lost Mode, they can contact you by email—previously it was phone number only. Voice Control If this is something you use, you can unlock your iPhone after a restart with just your voice. This is a highly useful new feature. Security fixes Vulnerabilities in iOS which have been the focus of iOS 14.6 include malicious audio files, problems in WebKit, and a bug that affected Apple’s recent, and brilliant Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch feature. Read on for details of what was released in earlier updates. Previous iOS 14 updatesThis was a small, bug-fix update, which was released on Monday, May 3. That fix was for App Tracking Transparency. Some users who had disabled the setting Allow Apps to Request to Track and then re-enabled it found that they weren’t getting the prompts they were expecting, where each app would individually ask permission to track. That, according to Apple is what’s been addressed in this update. Oh, and a bunch of what Apple describes as important security updates.iOS 14.5 was released on Monday, April 26 with a slew of new features.
