According to Ars Technica's latest report, the latest release was not supported by updates to all of Apple's other operating systems, unlike the previous iOS launches.

Another issue it will solve is the bug that prevents MMS iPhones from receiving MMS messages. It will also work on the sound quality issues that were found when people are using connected hearing devices.
Although it is not an exciting update for more users since it doesn't bring groundbreaking features, iPhone users are still advised to install iOS 14.2.1 so that their gadgets are up to date with the latest security software.
If your device is already running iOS 14, you can easily download it since it's available on any Apple smartphone.

It also brought eight new wall papers i both dark and light mode versions, a magnifier than can detect people nearby, support for iPhone 12 Leather Sleeve with MagSafe, and many more.

It also provides New AirPlay controls to stream entertainment throughout an individual's home. It is really evident that iOS 14.2.1 is no match with iOS 14.2.
