The latest beta of iOS 14.7, released yesterday, fixes a bug that completely disabled the iPhone's ability to connect to WiFi. However, the bug only occurred when the WiFi network in question was configured with the name "%p%s%s%s%s%n".
In his latest videoIn a post summarizing the recent changes in the iOS 14.7 beta, YouTuber Zollotech found that the update silently patched the bug that caused an iPhone to no longer be able to connect to WiFi networks. The bug was discovered on Twitter last month and consisted of an iPhone being able to connect to a WiFi SSID named "%p%s%s%s%s%n."
iOS 14.7 contains important bug fixes
However, according to user reports, this would "permanently disable" an iPhone's WiFi functionality, making the bug quite dangerous. While some claimed that the bug "permanently" disabled their iPhone's WiFi, other users found that resetting the network settings restored WiFi for the iPhone. Apple has been testing iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7 with developers and public beta testers for the past few weeks. It is expected that Apple will release the update soon as it contains important bug fixes for iPhone users. (Photo by GreenTech9947 / Bigstockphoto)
