iOS 13.4.1 and iPadOS 13.4.1 Released by Apple, Patches Bugs Left Out by iOS 13.4 and iPadOS 13.4
It was just a week back Apple released iOS 13.4 and iPadOS 13.4, and earlier this week we started getting reports that Apple is set to release iOS 13.4.1 with bug fixes. And here we are with the rumored update, all set to be downloaded by all compatible iPhone and iPad users out there.
Before you download iOS 13.4.1 or iPadOS 13.4.1, let's have a quick look at what the update brings with it:
- Fixes an issue where devices running iOS 13.4 could not participate in FaceTime calls with devices running iOS 9.3.6 and earlier or OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and earlier
- Addresses a bug with the Settings app where choosing Bluetooth from quick actions menu on the Home screen would fail
- iPadOS change: Addresses an issue on iPad Pro 12.9-inch and iPad Pro 11-inch (latest generation) where the flashlight may not turn on after tapping the Flashlight button in Control Center or on the Lock screen
As you can see, this is nothing more than a bug fix release which is absolutely vital at this point. If there were security related issues with iOS 13.4 / iPadOS 13.4, we're hoping they have been fixed in this release as well.
