iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7.1 appeared last week, but now Apple is already rolling out a new update. The version number jumps to iOS 14.7.1. With this update, Apple fixes a number of issues. For example, Apple has solved the problem where Apple Watch owners could not unlock their watch via Touch ID on their iPhone.
How to install iOS 14.7.1 and iPadOS 14.7.1:
- Hang your iPhone or iPad on the charger, or make sure the battery is at least 50 percent full;
- Open the Settings app and tap “General”;
- Choose ‘Software Update’ and follow the instructions on the screen.
Once Apple releases an update, many people will want to download the software. This may mean that the update may not yet be available on your iPhone. Just be patient and try again later.
More about iOS 14.7
iOS 14.6 caused a lot of battery problems among iPhone users. We therefore hoped that version 14.7 would flatten these problems, but we are not sure. This point does not appear in the log of the new iOS update.
We do know that you need iOS 14.7 if you want to use a MagSafe Battery Pack on your iPhone 12. And do you have a HomePod, or HomePod mini? Then you can turn on timers from iOS 14.7 via the Home app on your iPhone. That’s nice, because with this you can turn on a timer if you are not in the same room as your smart speaker.
