I just put my phone in DFU and reinstalled 14.1 - then 3 minutes later there's news of an update to the beta... FML.
Got a tip for us?

'A New iOS Update is Now Available' Popping Up Repeatedly in iOS 14 Beta [Fixed: New Beta Available]

Probably because they still have a beta profile on their phone, but that’s just my speculation.
fixed with todays actual update
Many users running iOS 14 beta are reporting that they are seeing a dialog box pop up repeatedly asking them to update from the latest iOS 14 beta.
Threads in our forums, Reddit, and Twitter are reporting the issue. The dialog has been appearing for a few days now, but as of tonight has started appearing more frequently, every time an iPhone is unlocked. There's been further discussion in our iOS 14.2 Beta 4 thread.
Previous betas have reportedly seen the same issue, according to postings in our forum.
Update: There's a new golden master version of iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2 available to developers and public beta testers, which fixes the issue.

I would like to have seen the build number of those iPhone 12 iOS 14.x’s. If there was a letter at the end, it was a beta.
As I mentioned earlier, my wife’s iPhone 11 Pro was (is) on iOS 14.1, not beta, and she has never seen the pop up.
Yea, I know the 11 and before were not getting the issue, it seemed unique to the 12’s on 14.1 out of all the devices not in the 14.2 beta cycle.
Theoretically, all the 12’s would be on the same build that was the GM, as that’s the point of GM. Shame we could establish what the common thing was other than being a 12.
Actually, pretty sure you were right that at least part of the issue was server side. We had beta 4 for 10 days, but the problem really only became very onerous over the last couple of days. (and some people downgraded to beta 3 and still had the issue). I think Apple made some server-side changes to the catalogue servers that only showed up in the last beta builds - this update fixes the change in configuration for the clients.
Maybe, if it wasn’t for the non beta devices, I wouldn’t have considered it being server side though.
I did the same only to realize that all my watch data from 9/7 on was gone. I ended up reinstalling 14.2 beta and then restoring from back up. At least 3-4 hours wasted. Once all my apps re-downloaded, the 'fixed' beta showed up.
That would be based on an assumption that it is supposedly just something like that and not something else that it can very well be.
This just worked for me!!! I’m glad I seen this cause I was going insane!!! Do you know if apple is coming out with and update tomorrow where it will fix this issue so we can change out date back to normal?
Read this happened in 2012 because the end date was coded improperly. I removed my profile from the beta group and attempted to downgrade but Apple has blocked users from trying to do so -- not sure if they are preventing authentication signatures with their servers but that's what it appears and I have seen in other forums. Was a part of several public betas on Andriod, left one because of bug that lasted 3+/- days - settings > factory reset. Apple > watch a dozen videos, read a bunch of forums, contact a non-existent customer service team and wait for next full version update to push to your phone...otherwise disable date/time settings.
My phone is an 11 Pro Max, I was on the 14.2 Beta 4, and I got it on the phone and on two iPads, that is, the latest Mini, and the latest Pro 12”.
Again, my wife’s iPhone 11 Pro didn’t get it, but hers was and still is on 14.1, and has never had a beta build on her phone.
So, it wasn’t just the iPhone 12 series.

Was extremely annoying all day yesterday woke up this morning in Ireland (5am) I’ve an update so hopefully it will solve it
Not sure why you seemed to not be able to downgrade, as many people successfully downgraded to 14.1 fine, prior to the iOS 14.2 RC being released last night that resolves the issue.
You seem to be misunderstanding my posts. I know that any device running the iOS 14.2 beta were having the problems (including the 11 Pro Max), as I have an 11 Pro Max and I was getting the issue. I was asking about the people who were NOT on the beta WITH the 12 & 12 Pro who were reporting the issue as well, as that was the anomaly.
Just reporting here so other people who might be interested can be aware that all iOS devices are affected.
