No. To my recollection, this has never happened. Tomorrow is a good bet though.
I had that on 12.1.2 which was the whole reason I got on the beta for this release. Fixed everything.
Oddly enough, I can't say I've noticed outstanding problems until the latter builds of 12.1.3. Who even knows. Everything gets caught by the spam filter, even from contacts. You basically have to quit Messages to correct it.
I think we will see it. There have not been many "beta free gaps" over the last several years. Question is: will it be 12.2 or 12.1.4. Personally, I think the former, for absolutely no reason at all.
I also believe 12.1.4 as 12 was suppose to be bug fixes and 13 will have new features. As @gwhizkids has stated.
I actually think there will be a 12.2. How significant the new features might be, who knows. But Apple does like to throw bones, and I think they will remain true to form, even if its something minor.
All i want is an option to remove the home bar then ill be happy, hope something exciting comes tomorrow
Is it just me or does anyone else think that the fact that there has been almost zero rumors about whats coming in 12.2 indicate 12.1.4 is coming instead? For example, with 11.2 we got apple pay cash and faster wireless charging and 11.3 had battery health, both which had been rumored to be released with the point updates prior to beta release.
I'm not sure there have been rumors for every x.y release, so hard to say if that's much of an indicator one way or another.
In several of those cases, the "rumored" features were actually holdout features, promised during WWDC, but not delivered with the major release. But you're correct in that there has been little said about what features might be released before iOS 13. I think the suggestions above about a revamped Airplay or HomeKit stuff might be accurate. Both are major emphases. Perhaps we'll see some Shortcuts improvements (though strictly speaking, Shortcuts is not part of the OS). Location and time based triggers would be nice. We're not likely to see any mind blowing features, though, just iterative stuff, I think.

Duh. The new feature for 12.2 is likely to be the Apple Maps updates. It *was* announced earlier in the year but has not appeared yet. And there’s been a lot of apparent background activity concerning Maps over the last few weeks: layers being turned on and off and the like. Culminating in all the layers reverting to “normal” yesterday with the release is 12.1.3 (see https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/new-apple-maps.2125979/page-12#post-27024169).
We’ll know later today.
iOS 1, 5, 6 and 7 didn’t even get .2. Are we really overdue?
Apple had already released a press release on 11.3 this time last year (day after the Tuesday after MLK Day), so it's either not coming today or it's not that exciting that they would put out a PR
