Have you had enough of this message yet? The answer is most likely YES. You just want it to go away. The message shows up every time that you unlock your iPhone or iPad screen if you are on iOS or iPadOS Beta 14.2 Beta 4.

What can you do about this message?
This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen this message.
Just about two years ago, this same exact message came up for iOS 12 Beta users. Guilherme Rambo figured this out by looking at the code.
iOS 14.1 Beta 4 pop-up Issue – How to fix!
I will show you 3 quick ways how to fix this issue.
UPDATE 10/30 7:00PM! – Apple has released iOS 14.2 Release Candidate Beta! This update fixes the constant pop up problem! Be sure to turn automatic time back on and reinstall the beta profile if you removed it. You will now see the update!
- 1. Wait for Apple to publish iOS 14.2 Beta 5. This happen two years ago when the iOS 12 Beta pop up problem happened. Apple pushed quick fix the next day.
- 2. Move your clock back to the 26th or before. The timer was set to start warning the user. This is temp fix, that could cause issues with some websites & apps like twitter, Gmail or Instagram.
- 3. Restore to your iOS 14.1 production backup. Maybe you have had enough of the Beta 14.2 and just want to go back to the production version.
- Again, I recommend just waiting a day or two for Apple to release a fix. I will update when Apple has published the new beta.
