Apple Releases iOS 14.2.1 With Fix for Text Message Bug and iPhone 12 Mini Lock Screen Issues

[clutchm3]

Does this fix the icloud tab syncing problem?

 

[geekymcfly]

I’m still not getting notification sounds on my 12 pro max.

**dumb moment didn’t realize Apple Watch synced to watch rather than phone if phone was locked.

I tried to download the update over 5G earlier today (when I was out and about) and I would get a pop-up message asking me if I wanted to download over cellular and I tapped ok, and nothing happened. I had to wait until I got home on WiFi to download. I have the “use more 5G option enabled in cellular settings. Did anyone else run into the same problem today?

Switch off True Tone.

Still present with True Tone off.

Knock on wood...I’m so far 100% receiving MMS since updating.

Still present with True Tone off.

I never had the ‘green screen’ issue on my iphone 12. But once upgraded to iOS 14.2.1, issue has occured now and no matter how many times I rebooted the phone, still remains with the green tint :/

Using dark mode is really evident the issue... am thinking of restoring my iphone, maybe it will temporarily solve the issue.

MMS? I thought this technology was deprecated.

It's basically behind how group messaging and messaging with media (photos, videos, etc.) works outside of iMessage and basically agnostic of which particular device someone has.

Hallelujah about the mini. Before, it was a Huawei-style light and thin phone, but now it's a perfect Huawei-style light and thin phone.

Does this fix the missing notification on texts? It’s so annoying that I need to check messages once in a while to see if I’ve got new messages.

I am still missing notifications for texts after update. Very annoying that it hasn’t been fixed.

My short code didn't come through but I downloaded the verizon messaging app and it's not coming through on there either, so I believe that is my healthcare provider's issue.

So far so good on MMSs (though they were mostly working before, just not all the time), we'll see if any get dropped no

That’s frustrating. At least you’re getting the texts. My incoming text messages disappear into a black hole, never to be seen again.

Still no notifications on my 12PM for texts or other apps. I guess 14.2.2 will be out in a few days for that.

This fixed a bug which i had where i couldn’t see lyrics for explicit songs or view explicit album on an artist’s page!

 

[LongWayHome]

No TouchID ever again!!!!

If by never again you mean next year you are correct!

 

[xdhd350]

Only for iphone 12??? I got the text message bug on my iphone 11

Same here.

Pretty sure it's available for all supported devices.

Nope, my 11ProMax says I am up to date and I’m on 14.2

 

[Billyk711]

I guess you never had to call them about this issue. I did, and was told it was a carrier issue

They don’t blame carriers never have

 

[C DM]

They don’t blame carriers never have

It certainly appears that a variety of people have gotten that type of response from them, meaning it's not quite "never".

 

[Runs For Fun]

Same here.

Yeah I see this was indeed only for the 12s.

 

[NeoSe7en]

I’m still sporadically missing some iMessage notifications after updating.

Someone posted to change your Message notifications to persistent. That's worked as a temp fix for me so far.

 

[TonyC28]

It would be great if they would acknowledge and then fix the missing text message notification bug that is also (in my case) happening on the iPhone 11.

 

[Packers1958]

They don’t blame carriers never have

They do, and they did. The rep said it was a Verizon problem.

Didn’t fix Lock Screen issues for me with the Quad Lock iPhone 12 mini case and their Poncho cover. And I have as terrible luck getting Apple Support to understand the problem.

Sounds like you should change your case and cover set up, seeing how the update fixed most mini owner swipe problems.

Is anyone getting a flickering screen on their iPhone 12 Pro Max after updating to iOS 14.2.1?
