iOS 14 magnifier Since I updated to iOS 14 the magnifier keeps showing up on my screen & the only way to get rid of it is to reset my iPhone. It's a pain in the butt. Also I cannot connect to my 2.4 GHz wifi but my 5.0 GHz works fine. Driving me nuts.

Hi KelvinHuges,

We see you're having trouble with an app on your device. To clarify, are you using a third-party app or the Magnifier accessibility feature on your iPhone. If you're using the Magnifier feature, we would recommend disabling and enabling again. You can learn how to do that here: Use Magnifier with your iPhone or iPad

if you're using a third-party app, you'll want to follow the steps here: If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

Take care.

Thanks for follow up , After updating to ios14 on my iPad Air2, I noticed the new Magnifier app supplied did not open, just a black screen.

(same problem reported by other ipadAir2 owners.)

Tried all usual, un install, resets etc.

Long phone call with Apple Tech Support, they were unable to offer any solution as of this date.

Cheers

I have had the same problem with the Magnifier App not working on my iPad Mini 4 after upgrading to iPadOS 14.

14.1 didn’t cure the problem, but I have upgraded my iPad Mini 4 to iPadOS 14.2 and the Magnifier App now works.

Just updated to ios14.1 for my iPad Air2,

Still Apple Magnifier App gives black screen?

Apple told me ios14 was compatible with iPad Air2, but I guess it isn’t.
