Apple’s iOS 14.2 GM Update for Beta Testers Fixes Incorrect Notification Alert, Photos Widget

Apple has started rolling out the iOS 14.2 GM for both developer and public beta testers. The iOS golden master or GM is typically the final build of the software in beta stages, and it usually releases days before the company starts rolling out the stable version for general users. As noted by 9to5Mac, the iOS 14.2 GM is fixing the incorrect notification alert that reads, “A new iOS update is now available, please update from the iOS 14 beta.” Users are also getting some other fixes with Camera app viewfinder, lock screen, photos widget and more.

The report adds that the iOS 14.2 GM does not carry any substantial features other than patches for several apps. Some of the other fixes include voice memo problem during phone call, display blackout with Netflix app, forced shutdown of Apple Watch app, keyboard issue on the lock screen (while entering security code), Exposure Notifications issue, and more. To check the availability of the iOS 14.2 GM, users can head to Settings > General > Software Update. Beta testers can also download the update from Apple Developers website.
