Apple iOS 14.6 Beta 1 experience: 1 new feature added, battery life consumption increased

Yesterday morning, Apple released a new iOS 14.6 Beta 1 version without any warning, entering a new round of testing. It was only two days since the release of iOS 14.5 RC. It mainly added a secondary menu for software updates, which is also a good feature for friends who have been using the beta version.

Let’s take a look at today’s iOS 14.6 Beta 1 system.

What's new

1. A new secondary menu "Other Updates" has been added to the software update, and all new test systems will be displayed here. In other words, in the future, we can keep the current system without being reminded without deleting the test version descriptive files.

2. SKAdNetwork is an update to APP developers’ advertising application issues, which has nothing to do with users.

Fixed issues
