Apple yesterday released iOS 8.0.1 but quickly pulled it after finding that the update created more issues than it seemed to solve. Shortly after pulling the update, it provided a workaround by which users could reinstall iOS 8 through iTunes to regain cellular service and Touch ID functionality. It has now released iOS 8.0.2.
This latest version of iOS 8 not only addresses the issues that were fixed in 8.0.1 but also the ones created by the previous update as well. iOS 8.0.1 came with the following fixes:
- Fixes a bug so HealthKit apps can now be made available on the App Store
- Addresses an issue where 3rd party keyboards could become deselected when a user enters their passcode
- Fixes an issue that prevented some apps from accessing photos from the Photo Library
- Improves the reliability of the Reachability feature on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
- Fixes an issue that could cause unexpected cellular data usage when receiving SMS/MMS messages
- Better support of Ask To Buy for Family Sharing for In-App Purchases
- Fixes an issue where ringtones were sometimes not restored from iCloud backups
- Fixes a bug that prevented uploading photos and videos from Safari
The iOS 8.0.2 update is now rolling out both over the air and through iTunes.
