Download and Install iOS 14.4.1 and iPadOS 14.4.1
As you know the public build update goes live immediately for all the users. And also, both updates are available for all iPhones and iPads running iOS 14 or iPadOS 14. So, if your iPhone or iPad running on iOS 14+ or iPadOS 14+, then you must have already got the update.
For some reason, if you don’t get the update notification, then you can manually check for it by going to Settings > Software Update. It will show the latest update, then click on Download & Install button to update your iPhone or iPad.
And if you have installed a beta update on your iPhone or iPad then you will not receive the update. So, to update your phone while on beta, you need to remove the beta profile. You can find the steps below.
How to Remove Beta Profile from iPhone and iPad
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Go to General and then Profile.
- Now it will show the Beta profile installed on your iPhone or iPad.
- Click on the available beta profile.
- Then click on the Remove Profile button.
- If it asks for the passcode, then enter your device passcode and click the Remove button.
And if your iPhone/iPad running on a higher version, then you need to downgrade your Apple device. But it will remove all data from your iPhone. So, we don’t recommend downgrade unless you want to Jailbreak iPhone or iPad.
You can also install the updates manually with iTunes or Finder. You can use IPSW files if you are planning to install the update using your computer.
