iOS 14 beta Alerts Users of a “Ghost” Update

This year the iPhone 12 have become nostalgic. Apple‘s new phones hit the market with an obvious look to the past by mimicking the design of the iPhone 5s, with metal frames and a flat screen that suits the 2020 models more than well. Unfortunately, iOS 14 has also gotten nostalgic. and repeats one of the most confusing mistakes of the past.

iOS 14 beta Alerts Users of a "Ghost" Update

Today users of the beta version of iOS have woke up to the appearance of an annoying message about a non-existent update. On this occasion, it is all customers who already have iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 installed on their iPhone and iPad that are receiving erroneous messages informing them that they must update to the latest beta version, although there are no updates available. The pop-up window mentions that there is a new beta version of iOS 14 available, but no matter how hard you look for it, there isn’t.

As we said a few lines above, it is not that this error is new, since something extremely similar happened during the beta period of iOS 12 in 2018. So the message ended up disappearing by itself without causing a major trauma to users and it is from imagine that with the beta of iOS 14 will happen three-quarters of the same.

Complaints in networks

The message says that ” A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the beta version of iOS 14″ but when clicking on the updates menu there is no trace of any software, leading to confusion to those who are receiving this notice. In fact on Twitter, several users have been complaining about this message in recent days, which seems to have affected many more devices tonight.

The reasons behind this message are still unknown, but it is most likely a server-side failure like the one that happened two years ago. So Apple stated that this confusing iOS message was due to a bug in the system that calculates when an iOS build is about to expire. Most likely, this same bug is now affecting the beta version of iOS 14.2. So if you see that it appears on your mobile you should not do anything, simply close the text box and continue using your mobile normally until an update notice arrives, this time, real.
