Apple fixes iOS 14 bug restoring default app preferences after restart



[ad_1]

One of the most useful features introduced by iOS 14 is the ability to finally configure third-party apps as your default email client and browser. What this means is that you no longer have to stick with Mail or Safari, and you can set Gmail or Outlook as your default email app, while Chrome or Edge can now be your go-to browsers for opening links. However, an iOS 14 bug that was discovered earlier this month reversed the default email and browser settings every time your iPhone restarted. Apple realized the problem and finally fixed it with the iOS 14.0.1 update that has just started rolling out.

Go away, weird iOS 14 bug. Because here comes the iOS 14.0.1 update!

“Addresses an issue that could cause default mail and browser settings to reset after restarting your iPhone,” says the iOS 14.0.1 update change log. The iOS 14 bug apparently bothered iPad users too, but Apple has fixed it on its tablet platform as well with the iPadOS 14.0.1 update. Here’s the full changelog for the iOS 14.0.1 update:

  • Addresses an issue that could cause default email and browser settings to reset after restarting your iPhone
  • Fixes an issue that could prevent camera previews from displaying on iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
  • Fixes an issue that could prevent your iPhone from connecting to Wi-Fi networks
  • Addresses an issue that could prevent email from being sent with some email providers.
  • Fixes an issue that could prevent images from appearing in the news widget.

iOS 14 features one of the biggest redesigns of Apple’s mobile operating system. Add customizable widgets that can be placed on the home screen. The new App Gallery feature automatically organizes apps into categories based on their usefulness, while Siri and incoming call notifications now have a smaller, less intrusive interface. Users can also pin important conversations to the top, while Search & Maps have also received some significant updates.
