Apple has just released a second bug-fix update for iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, focused on resolving small issues that have been discovered since the operating systems began rolling out in late September . The release notes for both updates differ slightly, but here’s a composite list:

  • Photos saved to your library from Messages could be deleted after removing the associated thread or message
  • AirTag might not appear in the Find My Items tab
  • Device restore or update may fail when using Finder or iTunes for iPhone 13 or even iPad mini (6th generation)
  • iPhone Leather Wallet with MagSafe may not connect to Find My (iOS only)
  • CarPlay may fail to open audio apps or disconnect during playback (iOS only)

This release comes about 10 days after the iOS 15. 0. 1 release. No analogous updates have been released for macOS, watchOS, or tvOS.
