Apple Releases iOS 12.4.2 Update for Older iPhones and iPads

[retta283]

Everyday I find more reasons regretting updating from iOS 10 to iOS 12.
Now I have the can't access the widget and camera bug from the lock screen and notification screen. Have to use the assistive touch double click home button to reactivate this feature.
Never had this problem with iOS 10.

Still have the audio bug where two music apps can be playing music at the same time. Normally the other stops if another starts playing. Also Bluetooth buttons in car can no longer start and stop playback. Never had this problem in iOS 10.

Siri seems to be even worse with dictation now. Also inserting profanity in my texts when nothing was said. And why did Apple moved the profanity setting into screen time settings is beyond me. I leave that off to save battery and then those options are unavailable.

Also no way to turn off photos from building memories and I have to keep deleting them.

And of course I lost stereo playback with built in speakers when updating from iOS 10 to iOS 12.

I know all about the dictation thing, it brings out some of the most random things I've ever seen. Lots of random curse words added in, some of my messages come out as extremely violent threats when I meant to say something completely different

Ever since upgrading from iOS 10 to 12 I've noticed that the Settings app likes to automatically go to the Software Update section all by itself. Even though I have updates turned off in there. I've even had it automatically download iOS 13 again even though I have updates turned off. Had to delete the installer it downloaded. It better not try to install iOS 13 automatically. I'll loose app support in iTunes 12.6 and have that iOS 13 mess that everyone is regretting.

Automatic downloading of updates is something that has been around for a long time--generally would kick in if you are on WiFi, plugged into a power source, have enough free storage space available, and the update has been out for a little while. Automatic installation isn't something that would kick in unless that new option is enabled. Your options are basically to delete the downloaded update or alternatively if you don't want to deal with it at all you can install a tvOS beta profile which would block the device from checking for and downloading updates.
