This evening, Apple has just released an update for both iOS and iPadOS with version 14.4. Both versions contain a number of bug fixes including a fix for the Fitness Widget as sometimes it would not show the most up to date data. Smaller QR codes can be recognised by the camera and also bluetooth devices can be set by type, including car stereo, headphones, hearing aids and speakers. This ensures the Headphone Audio Level in the health app is measured in accordance to what device is being used.

“Time to Walk” for Apple Fitness+ subscribers also comes to Apple Watch with watchOS 7.4 which has been released today too.

As ever, you can update by going to Settings > General > Software Update on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad or by updating via iTunes on Windows and older macOS versions, or via the Finder on newer macOS versions.
