Apple releases iOS and iPadOS 13.4.1 with FaceTime and Bluetooth bug fixes

Despite the fact Apple has already jumped to iOS and iPadOS 13.4.5 in its beta testing phase, the company has just released version 13.4.1 to the public for both mobile operating systems.

On Tuesday, Apple released iOS 13.4.1 and iPadOS 13.4.1 to the public. The software update is a minor one in the grand scheme of things and is primarily focused on bug fixes across the board. That includes fixes for the Bluetooth section of the Settings app and FaceTime issues that prevented audio and video calls with older devices.

Both fixes are available across the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models that are listed as compatible with iOS 13. The iPadOS 13.4.1 update brings an additional fix for the new iPad Pros to resolve the flashlight not turning on after tapping the Flashlight button in Control Center or on the Lock screen.

The new software is available now. And, as is par for the course, the update is free.

Here is the official changelog for iOS 13.4.1:

  • Fixes an issue where devices running iOS 13.4 could not participate in FaceTime calls with devices running iOS 9.3.6 and earlier or OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and earlier.
