APPLE has just pushed out an update to your iPhone and iPad – and should install it right now.
The iOS 14.1 update fixes loads of annoying bugs that may have had your pulling your hair out.

Apple often releases a bug fix update shortly after a major new iOS version lands.
Given that iOS 14 has only been out for a few weeks, it’s no surprise that there were plenty of issues to amend.
The new iOS 14 software update bundled in loads of handy new features, including a redesigned Home Screen that’s easier to keep clean.
You also get a better version of Apple Maps, and call notifications that don’t fill your entire screen.

And one of the quirkiest additions is a new app that translates foreign languages spoken aloud.
