Apple has now released the sixth beta of iOS 14.5 and Co. published. The company switched to a weekly update cycle last week. The updates can be downloaded as usual via the Developer Center or optionally over-the-air. The new iPhone operating system contains some new features, adjustments to data protection and fixes a number of bugs. The new features include changes to the "Find My" app, more security in iMessage, additional languages for Scribble in iPadOS 14.5 and more emojis.
iOS 14.5: More data protection and privacy
In addition, there is a big change in the area of data protection. As a reminder:
After the release of iOS 14.5, all apps that access an iPhone’s advertising identifier “IDFA” will have to obtain the user’s permission before allowing tracking for personalized advertising.
If the new versions contain any changes worth mentioning, we will report on them separately as usual. (Photo by Runa0410 / Bigstockphoto)
