iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6 now available with Apple Card Family, Podcast Subscriptions, and more

Apple released iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6, a month after the launch of iOS 14.5. The newest mobile software update introduces support for Apple Card Family, AirTag with Find My, Apple Music Lossless capabilities, Voice Control, and more.

Apple Card Family

Announced in April, Apple’s credit card can now be shared within a family for up to five people. Apple Card Family allows families to track expenses, manage spending with optional limits and controls, and build credit together.

Podcasts

With iOS 14.6, Apple is bringing support for subscriptions to channels and individual shows. The price for each subscription is set by creators and billed monthly by default with annual billing as an option. Podcasts subscriptions are available in more than 170 countries.

AirTag and Find My

The Lost mode option for the AirTag lets users add an email address instead of a phone number. Additionally, AirTag will show the partially masked phone number of the owner when tapped with an NFC-capable device.

Accessibility

iOS 14.6 allows iPhone users to unlock their iPhone after a restart using only their voice with the new Voice Control accessibility option.

Other fixes and improvements include:

The iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6 software updates can be downloaded by opening the Settings app, tapping on General, and then on Software Update on eligible devices. Apple is set to unveil iOS 15 on June 7 at WWDC 2021.
