2016 called, they want their joke back.

He’s telling it wrong.

(See what I did there?)

Still greyed out in iOS 14.5.1

This update has slowed down my back up iPhone 7 to a crawl. Anyone else’s performance severely impacted? Its super choppy, very noticeable and not normal.

Edit: Ok after about 15 min of leaving it alone, everything is back to normal. Very strange. I have not had a problem like this in years and I have had the iPhone since the beginning. Must have been running some kind of background task after installation.

14.5 hates Safari (crashes) but loves Edge on the iPad.
would 14.5.1 hate Edge and loves teh safaris?

There it is. iOS 14.5.1

 

[JosephAW]

Yea! iOS 12.5.3 update.
Yet many developers have dropped iOS 12 support. There’s many devices stuck on iOS 12 and no going anywhere.

 

[Deadman64]

Downloaded. Still not getting any prompts. I have it turned on in the settings too.

Same. I don’t get it…

Glad to see a security update, even though I didn't anticipate one today.

Okay. This is weird. I’m running iOS 14.5 on my iPad Pro (2018) and iPhone 12 Pro. Both devices tell me that ”this update requires a wifi connection to download”. Both devices are connected to wifi and the connection is otherwise working perfectly on both devices… any ideas?

Same. Maybe they pulled it or are rolling it out in phases.

Not sure. Just upgrades 3 iOS devices right now no issues and went fast.

Wouldn’t let me install the update, hard reset done nothing, power off and on your device and it should update.

That could be the case. However I think there’s something else going on too. I noticed while I was updating the apps from app store, my wifi only Ipad prompted me to acknowledge that I’m downloading over 200 MB apps with my cellular connection…

Lol. Same also. Didn’t happen right away though which is weird.

Happening on Phone 12 Pro and 11” iPad Pro running iOS 14.5.

I tried to reset and power down power up. Didn’t help.

 

[Mighuel]

Lol. Same also. Didn’t happen right away though which is weird.

And I just noticed that iCloud backup doesn’t work iOS 14.5 is treating a wifi connection like a cellular connection.

 

[jon08]

Lame. It’s still grayed out for me.

 

[GSWForever8]

I have a setting that automatically blocks it all. Now FaceBook can't see my browsing history!

 

[Greenlee]

There is still the lag or sync issue when watching web videos in Safari, Chrome. Starts off good then it goes out of sync.

It began after installing 14.5

 

[tywebb13]

ios 12.5.3 also got released for some older ios devices:iPhone 5S, iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini 3 and iPod Touch (6th generation)

 

[contacos]

Still no pop ups for me here

You are assuming they have a competent QA group. This explains why I have received ZERO notifications. Great work on a feature that was delayed 6 months.

It only explains it if you had manually turned it off before - e.g. if you were a beta user - since AFAIK this toggle didn't exist before 14.5. And most people, if they care enough about not being tracked that they looked to turn it off globally, they're not very likely to turn it back on again. So I can see how even a "competent" QA might have missed this.

Some of my home screen folder backgrounds flash / strobe? Like a light show! It happens at least once a day.

Got my first pop up request right after the update..
