“A logic issue existed in the handling of Group FaceTime calls. The issue was addressed with improved state management,” Apple said on its support page.
The latest update also fixed an unidentified vulnerability in FaceTime’s Live Photos feature. Additionally, according to Google’s Project Zero security team, iOS 12.1.4 fixed two zero-day vulnerabilities code-named CVE-2019-7286 and CVE-2019-7287. These vulnerabilities were related to a memory corruption issue.
In addition to those bug fixes, iOS 12.1.4 appears have triggered new issues as well. Some users took to Twitter to complain about a new network connectivity issue. One user said his phone is not accepting any SIM, while another faced issues “connecting to my home Wifi [sic]Network..”
There are other complaints about other issues as well, like degraded performance in the AirPods, voice memos, cellular, Touch ID and more. However, Forbes pointed out that users have been facing similar issues since the iOS 12.1.2 update.
What to Expect From the iOS 12.2 Update
The iOS 12.2 update is expected to be Apple’s first big software change for 2019. The developer beta hints at more Animoji and few front-facing user interface tweaks as well. Specifically, Apple is expected to add four new Animoji: Shark, Giraffe, Owl and Warthog.
Other changes include a slightly-tweaked Control Center. For example, the Screen Mirroring button will no longer be represented by a triangle with a floating rectangular box on top of it. Instead, it will show two rectangles overlapping each other.
Another useful change is related to the Apple TV shortcut button. The button displays a virtual remote which is almost the length of the screen. This addition is helpful if you own an Apple TV box or an AirPlay-2-compatible 4K TV or you don’t have a remote.
There is an update for Apple Maps as well. With iOS 12.2, you will be able to see the air quality index (AQI) for the area you view on Apple Maps. The AQI data was added to the Weather app in iOS 12.0, and now, Apple is integrating it into Maps as well.
