iOS 14.2.1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[gtmead09]

I'm so confused why they pushed a new 14.2 last night to then release this today?

I share your confusion..... this is the update I imagined instead of a second version of 14.2.

I'm seeing modem firmware 1.14.06 on my 12 PM on 14.2.1.

Would be great if it fixed the over night battery drain I am facing on my 12 Pro Max

3.54 down and 5.72 up on 5G on Verizon using this update in the Galleria area in Houston. 10.6 down and 11.5 up using LTE in the exact same spot.

Has anyone downgraded from iOS 14.3 beta 2 to this build for the text notifications fix?

I was on 14.2 already but installed the new one anyway because, as everybody knows, newer is better
I took half an hour, then my iPhone restarted, just on Time to see a mail from macrumors saying « Apple seeds 14.2.1 » 😓

It's safe to assume that the revised version of 14.2 is included in this one?

Starting to think or at least wonder if they meant to release it all as iOS 14.2.1 but something happened somewhere (perhaps some build/packaging/installer issue or oversight) and it got pushed out as a new version of iOS 14.2 initially which was then "fixed" and actually released as iOS 14.2.1.

That would be an easy fix had they shipped you a charger with your $1500 phone. You could have plugged it in at night!

14.2.1 has a build 10 ahead of last nights 14.2 release so doesn’t seem likely it was an accident

At the same time the updated iOS 14.2 build that was released just last night was 19 builds ahead of the original iOS 14.2 release, which seems rather odd too.

Very! Shame we’ll never know what the changes were

Updated EE Carrier Version to 44.0 in Wiki post

So does this fixed the missing texts and iMessage or not?

 

[drak22]

and the solution of the problem of the messages in the old iphone when? do we have to wait a month for ios 14.3? This deal by apple does not seem fair to me ...

This is ridiculous. Green screens, lot of bugs and lot of updates on iOS... In the past this never happens.. last 3-4 years iOS is a joke, come on. And lens flare on main camera still sucks.

 

[MarkSta69]

SMS messages are still not syncing the read status from iPhone to iPad. iMessages sync correctly but SMS messages that are read on iPhone still show as unread on iPad.

 

[crawfish963]

SMS messages are fixed. Now we need a fix for iMessage notifications.

Bugs and a variety of screen inconsistencies that some would encounter have pretty much always been around.

In what way are the SMS messages fixed?

 

[Act3]

Messages app seems so laggy on my iPhone 12 still compared to my older devices. Much more smoother on my 10.5 ipad pro. Tried restore, resetting, etc all the snake oil tricks.

No, I got a notification for imessage and was able to read it in the notification but when I clicked through to the app it was not there.

Really? Mine seems to be working fine now.
