Apple Releases iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2 With New Emoji, Control Center Music Recognition, Intercom, Wallpapers and More

Why I don’t get music suggestions when no music is playing?!

What's more annoying to me is that every time I put an AirPod in, the not playing / now playing widget is on the lock screen until I remove the AirPod.

Intercom tells me that I can’t intercom contacts. Uh… so why do I have the option to activate those people for Intercom in my Home app? What’s the point of allowing individuals to even intercom at all, if you can’t intercom them directly? Am I just forced to guess what room of my house my family members are and intercom them in succession? Or am I forced to intercom “to all”… for no reason?

Yep, now that I have a whole mess of devices using iOS or iPadOS 14.2, and my HomePods are similarly updated, Siri tells me that I can’t Intercom contacts. So yes, I do have to just guess which room someone is in rather than be able to intercom them directly. And if someone’s away from home, it would just be easier to call or message… because you literally can’t intercom them at all; you have to call or message.

Why did they do this, again?

1.5 years with no fix for the Mail app delivery bug. So it must not exist and my eyes are deceiving me.

I can’t believe I did the big update and the stuff that’s been pissing me off about 13 is still there, and iOS mail is still crap and living in 1993.

MacOS Big Sur tomorrow!!

Great. iOS on the Mac. I was hoping to run Mac OS on the pad now that keyboard and trackpad works properly on them. I hate i o s.

My wife can finally see my beaver emojis!

Say what?

I hope they have fixed that annoying Reminders bug, where you ask Siri to set a reminder for a certain time, and it sets the reminder but with no time set.

Ha. I bet it sets a time but no actual reminder now.

How exactly does an iOS update change AirPod charging behavior? I thought that would require an AirPod firmware update.

It comes via the phone I think.

 

[Macyourdayy]

For the Shazam integration it still doesn't save the song anywhere, correct? As in, when you Shazam a song using the app it stores that in your Shazam list to reference later. The new control center option didn't do this in the beta, did it change? If it doesn't store the song anywhere for you to reference later, I simply don't get the point of this functionality

Shazammed songs appear in the iTunes music store under the hamburger menu/Siri. Surprise.

More like many years!

I’ve only had this issue on my 13 pro. Super frustrating seeing Face ID is now useless and still no Touch ID.

What’s that keyboard issue you are saying?😮

It hiccups and doesn't start typing right away. Sometimes I'm on the 8th or 10th word by the time it rapidly picks up pace. Sometimes it disappears.
This was never the case before the made some changes in iOS 14 with the messages app.
It's worst for me if I'm sharing something and adding text to that

I will try notice that if it happens to me on ios14.2

What are the changes in 12.4.9?

Generally those sort of updates would be security related:

“The keyboard on the Lock Screen could miss touches when trying to enter the passcode”

Omg this has been bothering me for months now!

Years.

No suggestions. Any time I have an AirPod in, I get a "not playing" widget on my lock screen that offers zero value and won't go away, which I never had prior to yesterday's update.

I get that initially and it seems like after some time (perhaps as I use my phone some more) it goes away.

 

[jwdsail]

I don't suppose that the update restored the Favorites widget?

 

[AntonisCy]

Wow its been a long time since an update has messed up my battery life... Am i the only one?

It works perfectly now (it sets the reminder, at the requested time and date).

Apple servers getting slammed...2 hour wait remaining lol

29 days from now downloading the update will be pretty swift

Where have all the iPhone wallpapers gone? The ones with flowers are no longer there.

They probably removed them when adding the new ones.

Same here on an iphone 11 pro

Still on iOS 14.1, iPhone X. Anyone seeing battery improvements or decreases in 14.2? I'm seeing decreases in battery life in 14.1 so hoping update fixed that.
