iOS 14.2 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

Ew...now there’s a “suggested” folder in the App Library for Siri suggestions.

Can’t figure out how to turn that off yet, if at all...

I really wish we could sort the App Library categories either alphabetically or our own way via tap/hold and drag.

I open up the phone and set it up really quickly (saying no to everything, not logging in to iCloud, etc.), open Safari and download and install the developer profile, let it update, and when it's restarted, use "erase all content and settings", which wipes the phone and allows you to set it up as new, including loading an iCloud backup.

Thanks mate.

can someone confirm that the new wallpapers are also for the iPhone X and older?

I can't speak for older iPhones since I'm on the 2020 SE, but I do have a somewhat "older" iPad (the 6th gen) and it has the new wallpapers as well.

Reminders widget now shows more than one reminder at a time ??

Ended up reverting to 14.1 from iPadOS 14.2 today before this beta dropped. I was getting tired of keyboard controls no longer working in Plex with the Smart Folio Keyboard on my iPad Pro 11”. 14.1 restored this functionality.

Any other Plex users able to test this out in the latest 14.2 beta?

New app icons for the Animoji and Memoji stickers apps in this beta.

Not sure if anyone posted this yet.

Thanks! They did a really nice job...that's not the most useful option but it definitely looks the best haha

Pretty sure that's there in 14.0

This is the first I’ve seen it.

iPhone 11 Pro.

Crossing fingers this works with the iPhone 12...

I’m pretty sure that if you use the Direct Transfer option during setup it will let you get your stuff over to the new phone even if it’s on a different version than your current one.

AirPods Pro won’t properly connect to my iPhone XS. Unpairing and re-pairing didn’t fix issue. Anyone else having this issue?

Mine are pairing fine. iPhone 11 Pro

iPhone Pro + Airpod Pro , No issues here either.

My AirPods are connecting fine also. Have you tried doing a factory reset on the AirPods instead of just re-pairing?

I thought Apple has to release a new version that is compatible with the iPhone 12, either on launch day or today, with this beta. Otherwise, it would not show up as an update even with the beta profile installed. I think last year it was released same day as iPhone 11, but I don’t know if that was the case for iPhone XS or earlier.

Apple put the IPSW up the day before the new phones came out last year. So should see it on Thursday.

Always been there. Plenty of evidence...

So, either you just hadn’t noticed or your phone had a bug where it was not showing out.

Can’t turn it off.

Huh...guess it was a bug because it certainly wasn’t there before. Prior to this beta, the first folder in the upper left corner of the App Library screen was “Recently Added.” Now, the folder in the upper left corner of the screen is “Suggestions” and “Recently Added” has moved to the upper right corner.

Oh well.

Although, for what it’s worth, my Siri Suggestions have been pretty screwy lately.

Go to settings, Siri & Search, turn off “suggestions on Home Screen”.

I always have that turned off. Thanks, though.
