5 iOS 14.6 Bug Fixes Highlighted In The Update Log
iOS 14.6 is about to be rolled out by Apple and we have some good news regarding the bug fixes included in this release! The Update Log includes 5 patches that tackle: performance issues during iPhone startup, Bluetooth connectivity improvements, call blocking shortcomings, a bug of the Reminders app and an unlock iPhone with Apple Watch fix.
We’ve extracted all this info from the iOS 14.6 Release Candidate version that’s already been seeded to public beta testers and Apple developers. The RC Update Log of a pre-release version is almost identical with the one that’s eventually shared in the public rollout, so it’s safe to say that we have our hands on the most important bug fixes coming in iOS 14.6!
Official iOS 14.6 Bug Fixes
- 1. iPhone Startup Bug
This is probably the most important fix coming in iOS 14.6. Ever since the early days of iOS 14, users have complained about iPhone reduced performance during startup. Apple claims to have fixed this issue! - 2. iOS 14 Bluetooth Bug
Bluetooth devices connected to your iPhone could randomly disconnect or route the audio to a different device during an active call. iOS 14.6 patches this issue too! - 3. Unlock iPhone With Apple Watch Bug
This handy new feature has been introduced in iOS 14.5. It makes iPhone users life easier while wearing a mask. The TrueDepth camera is able to recognize the mask and automatically unlock the smartphone if a paired Apple Watch is connected and unlocked.
However, it some cases the feature would stop working if the user pressed the ‘Lock iPhone’ button on the Apple Watch, to lock the device back in case of an accidental unlock. - 4. Phone app bug would prevent call blocking extensions from showing up in Settings.
- 5. Reminders App bug: an issue could cause Reminders to display as blank lines. iOS 14.6 fixes this!

Bluetooth will connect in my 2015 Kia Optima. I can playback media. Phone calls are muted. Tried removing and installing the Bluetooth connection. Didn’t fix it.
Thanks for reporting. When did this start happening? After iOS 14.6 update?
I’m having this issue after the 14.6 software update as well. I can make phone calls, but I cannot play music.
Thanks for sharing. Does this fix:https://www.iphonetricks.org/how-to-fix-apple-music-carplay-crashing-bug/
work for you?
Thanks for the suggestion. It didn’t work for me. Last time I had to wait for the next update.
No problem. I hope you manage to fix it soon. Keep us updated on this. Thanks.
Please guys consider the share it problem,because we can’t share files or games even music with other phones except iPhones it’s very annoying us,and the other thing is the cameras pls change the features Nd make things more fun….
Thanks for your feedback. I don’t see Apple offering the users to share Music, because of royalty restrictions, plus it would be against their Apple Music expansion.
You’re also talking about an AirDrop feature extension to support non-Apple devices. That’s also hard to implement because Apple cares a lot about security, and we all know that malware can easily find its way to Android devices.
Camera features have been improved recently and I am sure that iOS 15 will continue this trend!
Bluetooth problems have always been criticized. Since IOS 13, they have not been properly resolved. The technical capabilities are doubtful. Other mobile phone manufacturers have never had Bluetooth problems like IOS.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. Yes, Bluetooth has been buggy lately. Hopefully, this will be fully settled by iOS 15.
Please fix the problem of the other category in iPhone storage filling up with data that cannot be removed without a full restore on your phone . My other category is now over 11 gig and continuing to fill .
Thanks for reporting this. We’re taking a look at it to see if we can replicate the issue on our own devices.
