Today, Apple has released a minor update for iOS 13, with iOS 13.4.1 which aims to fix a recent bug with FaceTime. iOS 13.4 was released before this update, about two weeks ago. iOS 13.4 came with iCloud Folder Sharing as well as cursor and trackpad support for iPad with iPadOS 13.4.

A bug was discovered recently for FaceTime where users running iOS 13.4 were unable to video call users on iOS 9.3.6 and earlier as well as those on OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and earlier. Devices running iOS versions this old are the iPad 2, iPad third generation, iPhone 4s, iPod touch 5th generation and the iPad mini first generation.
