Apple released iOS 14.7.1 and iPadOS 14.7.1 with bug fixes, including one that prevented the Apple Watch from being unlocked when connected to Touch ID phones.

New versions will automatically download to devices or can be installed manually by visiting the Settings app. Select “General” then “Software Update” to start the update immediately.

The release notes only mention one specific fix for an issue with unlocking Apple Watch using iPhone. Previously, iPhones with Touch ID did not automatically unlock the Apple Watch.

The versions replace the previous set, which were the final versions of iOS 14.7 from iPadOS 14.7. Oddly, Apple released iPadOS 14.7 days after iOS 14.7 was released.

Update: Apple confirms that the update fixes a security flaw that may have been exploited in the wild.
