What’s new in iOS 14.6?
Following the release of iOS 14.5 to the public last month, iOS 14.6 is another major update for iPhone and iPad users. One of the biggest changes is support for Apple Card Family. This feature was announced at Apple’s special event last month, and it allows users to share their Apple Card via Family Sharing.
Apple explains:
Apple Card can be shared with up to five people, including anyone 13 years or older in your Family Sharing group
Apple Card Family adds support for families to track expenses, manage spending with optional limits and controls, and build credit together
iOS 14.6 also brings support to the Podcasts app for Apple’s new Apple Podcasts Subscriptions platform. This allows podcasts to offer paid subscriptions to their shows with bonus content such as ad-free episodes and subscriber-only episodes.
Other new features in iOS 14.6 includes updates for AirTag, Accessibility improvements, and a variety of bug fixes.
