Apple today seeded the second betas of upcoming iOS and iPadOS 13.4.5 updates to developers, two weeks after seeding the first betas and a month after releasing iOS and iPadOS 13.4 with iCloud Folder Sharing, iPad trackpad support, and more.

iOS and ??iPadOS?? 13.4.5 can be downloaded from the Apple Developer center or over the air after the proper developer profile has been installed.

The iOS 13.4.5 update appears to focus primarily on bug fixes, under-the-hood improvements, and other small tweaks and changes. It may address an issue with Personal Hotspot that prevents it from working for some people and it could also fix a VPN-related vulnerability.

The update includes a new Apple Music feature that allows Apple Music songs to be shared on Instagram Stories. Tapping the Share button on a song in Apple Music creates a story with a song title, album name, and animated background, but at this time there is no way to get to Apple Music from the shared information.

No other major changes were found in the first beta, but if something new is found in the second beta, we'll update this article. iOS 13.4.5 could be one of the final updates to the iOS 13 operating system as Apple will soon shift its focus to iOS 14.

I believe the ecosystem is starting to stabilize a bit ... homeBridge is now working again with my MyQ devices ... my handoff is working with incoming cellular calls ... my devices all are ringing on incoming calls ... none of this stuff was working on 13.x through 13.3.x and MacOs 10.15.0 through 10.15.3

next release I’m staying camped once stable for a LONG time unless required to update/upgrade ... apples Ga software QA/QC is unimpressive

macOS Catalina still has some annoying standalone bugs to shake out though

I had 2 thermo shutdowns on 13.4 ... had to update to 13.4.5 because 13.3 had WiFi/lte unconvincing hankshaking
