Went to swipe right on home screen for search/widgets and nothing. Went all the way to the end of my home screens and no App Library. Anyone else see this? First time it's happened on iOS14. A reboot sorted it, but strange.

Yes, podcasts have become so un-workable that I have switched to Android, despite years of loyalty to all the Apple OS platforms. The entire iOS system arose due to audio. I would rather use my iDevices exclusively.
What app do you use on Android for podcasts? That app isn't available on iOS? Do you mean listening to podcasts, or recording your own? I've always used Overcast to listen to podcasts.

Uhhuh, yeah, right. You never tried any third party podcast app?

I use Overcast, and have for quite a while, so, whatever is going on with Apple podcast app doesn’t matter.

So instead of maybe trying one of the many excellent third party podcast apps on iOS while Apple works in Podcasts, you switched platforms entirely?
 
I'm hoping this fixes the Apple Music bug of music stopping after 15 seconds. They say it did, and I haven't had many issues with it lately, but it was incredibly annoying. I also don't want to go to Spotify so hopefully it is fixed and I'm happy with it in the next couple of weeks.
it works!!!!!!!!!!!! this bug pissed me off so much, i made an account just to let you know it was fixed
 
It is fixed for me.
It might...MIGHT be fixed for me also. I'll see how it progresses throughout the next few days.

On 14.6, taking the 14 mi. round trip every 2 days to my uncles to check on his house while he's in the hospital, the battery would go down to 85, 80% by the time I got home about one hour later. (Even small trips up the street to the stores, big drain)

I updated around 2am this morning.
Today's 14 mile trip, battery only dropped to 98%.

Fingers crossed.

I also hope 14.7 fixes this issue. Today is the first day but I went to work, had many audio WhatsApp and FaceTime calls, and back home with 47% battery left on an iPhone XS Max. Battery Health on 93%.

I’m still not sure though, have to use it couple of days to see the usage.

How’s your uncle doing these days?

My Battery health is in the toilet, now at 84%! So that and 14.6 probably wasn't helping daily battery life.

I get it though, just going by one morning/mid day and not seeing the background apps (like FindMy, Tile BT app) draining this down fast is not a great test. I'll have to give it a few more days to see if this really is "fixed"

Clearly whatever happens, I will need a new battery soon anyway.😐
 
Going on day 2 now with no update indication for two iPads in the house. Both are stuck on 14.6. Two iPhones both updated to 14.7 with no problems. But the iPad still says there's no update. AppleTV got the update too.

Are people still having problems with updating their iPads?

It’s been reported/mentioned several times on this site and forums…iPadOS 14.7 hasn’t been released yet.

Didn't see that. All I saw was this thread with other people saying they weren't getting it either...but then no one saying what you said. But of course, I probably missed it all. Thanks.

I don’t care about any new anything, my connectivity has been terrible with 14.6, I hope this is FIXED.

ALSO, w/iOS 14.6, Apple Music has been playing the first track in my library when I hook up in the car ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TIME. Why Apple can’t do simple things like EVERY OTHER MUSIC APP and remember where I was at, what I was playing is far far beyond ridiculous 6 years in!! :mad::rolleyes::mad::rolleyes::mad::rolleyes:
Not just music. The clusterfudge they’ve turned podcasts into can “forget” it was playing less than a minute before and ‘Siri play’ will find a random song to irritate me. Been like that since 13 but worse on every new version. Also changing the view I choose every time to that ******** “discovery” view. If I hadn’t used Apple podcasts for the last twenty years with all my devices I would definitely go somewhere else.

Still getting unexpected stops (usually at 15 seconds) and lots of loud, crackling static, like a channel on an old TV with no signal.

I like the interface of the music app for the most part, and Apple Music is a great service when it works correctly, but the amount of bugs and the difficulty in keeping your metadata synced if you have a lot of ripped and purchased music mixed together is a headache. I don’t add songs to my library that I haven’t ripped from a disc or purchased from the store. Yet Apple wants to override my tags with its own. My local files on my Mac are fine, but I’m ocd about tags, playcounts, etc, and I use Apple Music to sync my personal library and stream songs, but I don’t add Apple Music tracks to my library. Apple seems to be trying to steer people to doing away with their own music and just using its library. I’ve got way too much purchased music no longer available in their platform and too many songs not available anywhere else for that.

Also, you used to be able to swipe a song in a playlist and hit the delete button to remove it from the playlist, but keep it in your library. Since the last couple of updates, doing so now will delete it not just from the playlist, but your library, meaning it wipes out your play counts and removes it from ALL playlists.

Funny how my podcasts always start up exactly where I left off.

Consider yourself lucky. Mine do now that I’ve switched to iCatcher.

When I was using Apple’s podcast app I did notice strange things only happening to a select few, those mostly on the TWiT network. Unfortunately that entire network has become insufferable and I no longer listen to it on any player.
