How to update
iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2 are available via Over-the-Air Update (Settings >
General > Software Update) via Finder on a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or
via iTunes on a PC or Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier.
Before updating, we strongly recommend making a full and complete backup of
your device (either locally or in iCloud, depending on personal preference).
This will ensure that, in the unlikely event that something goes wrong during
the update process, you will have a current backup on hand in case a device
restore becomes necessary. Also, if using OTA update, we recommend plugging
your device into a power source for the duration of the download/installation
process, so as to prevent the unlikely event of your battery going dead during
the update.
More information on how to update the software on your device is available on
this Apple Support page<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204204>.
As always, we look forward to hearing your thoughts on these updates. Do you

"He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass
himself,” and we forget that only grace can break the cycle of ancient hatreds
among peoples. (It is notable that while I have regretted not granting grace to
others, I’ve never once regretted extending it.)" - Edward Herbert
