Not receiving security codes /sms

Since my update to iOS 14 I don’t receive any sms security codes on my iPhone X . I saw that there is an update 14.2.1 which should fix this bug but it is only available for iphone 12 :(

I tried to restart the phone many times to no avail .

any idea if there will be an update for everyone? I cannot log into many websites without my security codes 😩

this is so frustrating.



iPhone X, iOS 14
