How to install it:

This iOS 14.4.2 comes just days before the beta rollout of the iOS 14.5 and Apple is expected to release these developer beta seeds of the iOS 14.5 over the next month.

The iOS 14.5 is going to come with a bunch of new features, particularly the ability to unlock the Apple iPhone with the Apple Watch. This new feature will help address the issue of not being able to use the face unlock with the mask on.

The iOS 14.5 will also bring in the App Tracking Transparency which will show new permission dialogs in the apps before they share information related to user identification with third-party apps and services.

Apple has also released the watchOS 7.3.3 for the Apple Watch and a patch update to iOS 12, version 12.5.2, for the iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, third-gen iPad mini, first-gen iPad Air and the sixth-gen iPod Touch users.
