I've thought of joining the beta program, but don't want to compromise my primary device. I don't have a separate device to test on. Plus, I don't use iTunes on my computer so can't restore anything if something goes wrong. Hats off to the beta testers though for the hard work you put in and the

Sounds like you've had a go of it. Contact Apple Accessibility by emailing: accessibil...@apple.com Another question: after installing iOS 14, did you clear the App Switcher and reboot your phone? In my experience, this goes a long way to getting rid of bugs or hick-ups that happen after an
