Apple launched the very first designer betas of iOS 14.2, watchOS 7.1, and tvOS 14.2 recently, which are now likewise readily available for public beta users. While the updates bring some new functions, Apple Watch users have discovered that these updates do not consist of the new watch faces from watchOS 7 and the Blood Oxygen app from Apple Watch Series 6.
Developers who have actually updated their Apple Watches to watchOS 7.1 will not have access to the new watch deals with presented with the final release of watchOS 7.0, consisting of the Memoji, Stripes, and Artist enjoy faces– at least not in this first beta. 9to5Mac reported this last Thursday:
If you have actually installed iOS 14.2 beta on your iPhone or iPad, you can downgrade to iOS 14.0 utilizing a Mac or PC. However, Apple Watch and Apple TV running beta software can not be devalued.
Simply put, while iOS 14.2 and other updates do have new functions, theyre not the same functions consisted of in the current software available to the public. This is absolutely not a significant concern as Apple will likely fix this with the next beta releases, however its worth remembering that you may lose some features when upgrading from iOS 14 to iOS 14.2 and watchOS 7.1 beta 1.
Its also important to bear in mind that watchOS 7.1 beta doesnt have some of the new watch deals with introduced with the public release of watchOS 7 today. You must wait until the second watchOS 7.1 beta if you desire to keep the new watch deals with.
While Apple will most likely not discuss this formally, all the brand-new betas released last week– including iOS 14.2 and watchOS 7.1– were put together before the iOS 14 and watchOS 7 GM builds. At some time in the advancement stage of betas software, Apple engineers had to prepare iOS 14 and other updates for the general public release, while presumably there was already another group dealing with iOS 14.2.
Weve also learned that users who got the brand-new Apple Watch Series 6 and paired it with an iPhone running iOS 14.2 beta are currently unable to trigger the brand-new Blood Oxygen measurement feature. But whats the reason behind it?
In a related note, Apple pulled out iOS 14.2 beta 1 update for iPhone XR and iPhone 11 devices. The update is also not offered for the 8th generation iPad.
