INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
iOS 12 beta testers have been plagued with a frustrating bug that continually pops up messages alerting them that a new iOS update is
available when, in fact, it not
Apple has now fixed this bug, which is patched in the latest iOS 12 betas rolling out now, we understand.
The bug first made headlines on
Thursday, when a number of iOS 12 beta testers & including developers and those on the public beta program & began to complain on social
All users were seeing a pop-up message that read, A new iOS version is now available
Please update from the iOS 12 beta.
Users could close this window with a tap, but the same pop-up would reappear at regular intervals
There was nothing to be done about it, because the message itself was wrong & there was no new beta available for download at the time.
A
new iOS update is now available
Please update from the iOS 12 beta.

While it true that beta
versions of software can have glitches and bugs, the iOS 12 beta has been, arguably, one of the most stable to date
For many people, the bug was one of the first times they had a serious issue with running the beta software.
Some hadfigured outyesterday
that you could adjust the system date and time to turn off the non-stop notifications, but this was bad advice
Messing around with the system clock can introduce a host of other issues, like missing calendar appointments or reminders, for
example.
Apple was aware of the issue, and has thankfully introduced a fix before the long holiday weekend here in the United States
The
fix is available in both the new developer beta and the public beta, out now.
