In addition to macOS 11.4 Big Sur, Apple today also released iOS and iPadOS 14.6 with Apple Card Family Sharing, podcast subscriptions, AirTag enhancements, and more. The update can already be installed in the settings of mobile devices through the “Software update” item.
Speaking in more detail about the innovations, it is worth noting that Apple Card can now be used by up to five selected people from the family group. The administrator of the group user can track total spending, as well as set limits.
Podcast authors can now use Apple Podcasts Subscriptions to provide paid subscribers with ad-free episodes or exclusive content. AirTag owners can now post their email addresses instead of the phone number.
The company has also fixed a number of bugs present in previous versions of iOS:
- iPhone may have slower startup performance.
- Bluetooth devices might be disconnected, or audio might be sent to another device during a call;
- Call blocking extensions might not appear in the settings;
- Unlocking with Apple Watch might not always work correctly.
More details on the list of innovations can be found in the official Apple report .
