Apple posts iOS 14.4 Release Candidate for developer, public beta tester download

iOS 14.4 has now hit the Release Candidate stage and is currently available to the developer and beta tester communities.

As such, the current change list includes the following:

  • Smaller QR codes can be recognized by Camera
  • Option to classify Bluetooth device type in Settings for correct identification of headphones for audio notifications
  • Notifications for when the camera on your iPhone is unable to be verified as a new, genuine Apple camera in iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max
  • Image artifacts could appear in HDR photos taken with iPhone 12 Pro
  • Fitness widget may not display updated Activity data
  • Typing may be delayed and word suggestions may not appear in the keyboard
  • The keyboard may not come up in the correct language in Messages
  • Audio stories from the News app in CarPlay may not resume after being paused for spoken directions or Siri
  • Enabling Switch Control in Accessibility may prevent phone calls from being answered from the Lock Screen

The iOS 14.4 release notes do not make mention of a new Handoff experience for HomePod mini users, but this could be due to the fact that an update is not yet available for the HomePod mini itself. 

The Release Candidate is available to both developers and public beta users via an over-the-air update in the Settings app. The full version is expected to be released sometime next week.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
