After the release of iOS 15, the problems and bugs in iOS 15 quickly surfaced. After more than a week, Apple released iOS 15.0.1, which fixed an issue with the Apple Watch and the storage bug. But there was still plenty to fix, as the list of issues is much longer than just these two bugs. Did Apple fix these issues in iOS 15.0.2? The new version has build number 19A404.

iOS 15.0.2 available

In recent days, users have been complaining about problems with CarPlay and missing AirTags, among other things. CarPlay can sometimes crash immediately or after playing music. There are a few steps you can take to fix this yourself (turning the equalizer on and off), but it would be nicer if Apple fixes this right at the source itself. That also applies to the missing AirTags, which suddenly disappeared after updating to iOS 15.

The release notes show that these issues have indeed been resolved. Apple says AirTags may not appear in the Objects tab and CarPlay crashed when opening audio apps. Apple also announced that the bug in iMessage that caused saved photos to disappear has now been fixed.
