Apple recently released iOS 14, iPadOS 14, watchOS 7 and tvOS 14 to all users. However, the updates don't seem to be running smoothly.

Complaints about iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 are currently being documented in various forums. Our community is also listing various errors. In addition to missing images and music tracks in Apple Music, there are also other problems. These include problems with WiFi and Bluetooth. But most errors are reported in connection with the widgets - especially the weather app. To be honest, I have to admit that I cannot reproduce any of these errors myself. Neither on my production devices nor on my test devices. But that doesn't mean anything. Be that as it may. iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 also introduced a feature that many fans consider to be a highlight - the free choice of default applications. This means that under iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, users can decide for themselves whether they want to use Safari and Apple Mail as the default app or replace them with a third-party application. 

Apple is testing iOS 14.2

The problem – restarting the device resets the configuration. The bug also seems to be widespread. I was not able to verify the error myself – another outsider. But the bug seems to be so widespread that Apple has also commented on it. is called it at CNET:

Until Apple resolves the issue, suffice it to say, if you have a preferred third-party browser or mail application set over Safari or Apple Mail, you should probably avoid shutting down or restarting your iPhone or iPad, otherwise you'll have to re-select your preferences every time you restart your device. This is, of course, inevitable if your device's battery is dead.

Although Apple has now officially launched a new beta phase with iOS 14.2 started It is expected that a bug-fixing update will be released in the meantime. (Photo by Kaspars Grinvalds / Bigstockphoto)
