Apple is releasing iOS 14.2 GM to developer beta testers today, and to public beta testers. Notably, today's new iOS 14.2 GM should bring a fix for the erroneous 'A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 14 beta' notification that many users are seeing right now.
iOS 14.2 GM is rolling out now and can be found in the Settings application. The release of this beta is particularly notable given the notification about a non-existent update many users have been seeing for the past 24 hours.
This isn't the first time a bug like this has happened. In fact, something similar happened during the iOS 12 beta period in 2018. Essentially, Apple hardcodes the expiration of beta versions of iOS into the springboard. Once that date rolls around, the springboard will automatically display the popup warning repeatedly until an update is installed.

- May 06, 2021 iOS 14 was first launched in September, ahead of the release of the iPhone 12. New versions of Apple's mobile operating system typically arrive once a month with new features and bug fixes.
Elsewhere, iOS 14.2 brings revamped now playing controls to the lock screen alongside redesigned AirPlay 2 controls in Control Center. Another one of the new changes in iOS 14.2 is a brand new Shazam toggle that can be added to Control Center.

To add the new Shazam music recognition toggle to Control Center, first make sure you're running the developer beta of iOS 14.2, which is rolling out today. Then, open the Settings app, choose 'Control Center,' then look for Shazam beneath the 'More Controls' header. You can then add the Shazam toggle and rearrange it as you see fit.
iOS 14.2 also includes a variety of new wallpapers, which can see and download in our full post right here.
