Apple released iOS 14.1 and iPadOS 14.1 for iPhone, iPad and HomePod a few hours ago. Now the company has released the fourth beta of iOS 14.2, iPadOS 14.2 and tvOS 14.2 to registered developers.
Apple has fixed a number of bugs and made performance improvements in iOS 14.1. The HomePod has also finally been updated. The company has now released the fourth beta of iOS 14.2, iPadOS 14.2 and tvOS 14.2 for developer rolled out. The update is available for download over the air. iOS 14.2 mainly fixes bugs and improves existing features. However, there are also a handful of new features. For example, the media controls in the control center have been revised and the AirPlay button in Apple Music has been updated. But the absolute highlight is a new element in the control center - music recognition. This means that under iOS 14.2 it is possible to integrate Shazam in the control center.

Notice – As usual, a preview should not be installed on an actively used iPhone or iPad, as these are usually quite unstable and error-prone – we recommend a second device for this. (Photo by Sikov / Bigstockphoto)
