Apple seeds second iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4 betas to developers

Apple is still working on the next update for its major platforms, and today the company seeded the latest beta towards that goal.

On Wednesday, Apple seeded the latest beta of iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4 to developers. This brings the beta count to two, so we’re probably still a few weeks out before the company releases the software updates to the public. As is par for the course, the latest beta is meant specifically for testing purposes so developers can prepare their apps for the incoming update. It should not be installed on your daily driver.

Apple will likely seed the corresponding public beta to the public beta testers this week as well. We’ll update this post when that happens.

Registered developers with the proper profile installed on their supported devices can download the latest beta as an over-the-air update. Simply open Settings –> General –> Software Update and follow the onscreen instructions. The new software can also be downloaded from Apple’s official developer site.

Apple didn’t go out of its way to add any major forward facing features to the first beta, and that may remain the same for the second beta. However, if there are any new discoveries made we will update this post accordingly. We did note back in December that iOS 14.4 does welcome Apple’s new prompts for when apps want to track a user’s activity.

The latest developer beta is available to download and install now.
