I can’t say i ever expected to read the phrase “different gender options for people with beards” but here we are.

I was looking forward to unlock with watch, however now I realise its JUST for unlocking, and it just looks for a face with a mask - so if someone else had my phone and a mask on, the phone would unlock. Yes I know its in close proximity and I get an alert on my watch, but i still don't like that - I thought it was scanning the upper half of your face for a match, and then using the watch for to authenticate the rest 
Anyways, knowing it just works for unlocking alone makes me not bother using it......will probably try it and see how I feel, but I've been left underwhelmed, especially since we may be able to stop wearing face masks this summer (in the UK)

I’m noticing some changes in Apple Music that will take a little getting used to:
I used to be able to see at a glance via albums, playlists, etc. which tracks were already added to my library. Now, I have to tap the three dots to see.
I used to be able to remove songs from playlists by swiping and deleting (which didn’t remove them from the library), but now swiping and deleting removes them from the library. To edit a playlist, I have to tap the three dots at the top-right of the playlist window and then edit.

Same. Based on this article I just found, it seems like it either was removed in the last beta and the MR post was written before then and not updated, or the feature is present but automatic and thus no UI element is needed. 🤷♂️
14.5 updates into ios and it still has one of the worst keyboards on a smart phone. so much wasted space on the bottom of the screen . you have too change pages for . and , still no number row. when are they ever going to fix this why is it not like the ipad pro keyboards especially on the max and the larger screen. I know there are 3rd party keyboards but most of them are not good. I may be the 1% but the keyboard is one of the most annoying things about an iphone.
Another feature Apple didn’t mention is that iOS 14.5 turns Hey Siri back on if you had it turned off. I just love how Apple updates change user settings without them knowing.
Anyone figured out how to remove podcasts from up next? Do I now have to mark them as played to get rid of them?
Works fine for me. I did train Face ID with my glasses on.Unlock with Apple Watch doesn’t work if I’m wearing glasses, if I take them off it works.
Same here. Thought it would do any FaceID app and use your face it could see. I guess that meant it would have to ‘re-record’ your face. Okay, fine, let’s go. But for the apps, some of those have 1Password passwords and have to be copy and pasted. So unlock the phone (easy), unlock 1P (eh), then go to app and it will get password from 1P. Not at all what I expected from this. Does Apple expect no one has protected apps? Or am I missing something?I was looking forward to unlock with watch, however now I realise its JUST for unlocking, and it just looks for a face with a mask - so if someone else had my phone and a mask on, the phone would unlock.

Installing now, can't wait to lock out all the trackers!
By the way, is it me, or this is the most massive .1 update ever?

I can't see any new toggle for this either. Let me know if you find it.
Not a fan of the new podcast layout at all :/ I liked it just the way it was before.
I too am not seeing 5G Standalone. I'm on T-Mobile (Magenta) iPhone 12 Pro Max. I saw some February Interweb comments it was removed from the Beta so maybe it's not there intentionally?
Just updated. No major problems. Turned on unlock by Apple Watch and tried it with my mask on, it went smoothly.
Hmmm...the 'allow apps to request to track' defaulted to 'off'. Does that mean that they can't ask (and aren't tracking), or that they are tracking without being forced to ask?
