If you are still getting this,

This is what worked for me.

Turn off Bluetooth.

go back to home screen

push volume up and release

then push volume down and release

then push and hold the side button, hold until you see the apple logo.

phone reboots, problem solved.

keep all settings.

I had the same issue with IOS 14.2.1 and mitigated the problem disable Bluetooth too, but to solve the problem I enrolled my iPhone 12 Pro on the IOS Beta program and I just installed IOS 14.3 Beta 3, looks like it resolved the issue with Bluetooth on.

When Apple release IOS 14.3 you just need to erase the Beta Profile from your iPhone and start using 14.3 release. This worked for me.

When I woke up I noticed my iPhone software had updated while I was sleeping and the same notice listed above is stuck on my phone too

“allow public 00:00:00:00:00:00 to display your iPhone notifications “. Have “Allow” or “don’t allow”

I turned off my bluetooth and it seems to have stopped for the moment - Thank you

what happens next? Should I be contacting Apple?

I’m having the same issue with my 5 day old iPhone 12 which is running 14.4. I shut off Bluetooth and did the hard shutdown. It seemed to work for now. I went to the store I bought the phone from just to get it documented that I had this issue. They said they haven’t heard of the issue. Hopefully the hard shutdown works.

FYI , Apple knows about this problem, restart your network settings fixes it

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

I ran into the same issue (iPhone 12 Pro Max while test driving new cars for some reason). Super frustrating 1) I reset my Network Settings and that made the pop up go away. 2) BUT now my phone can’t receive network data... as in, it successfully connects to both cell networks (5G and LTE) and WiFi networks (both existing and new) but I can’t connect to any network services. No web pages will load. No apps can connect. 3) The odd part? Phone calls still work over a cell network (but not WiFi). Text messaging appears to work. And I get some but not all push notifications.

Anyone else having similar issues? Any recommended solutions? Feels like something is off with the network stack but no fiddling seems to have helped. I am hoping to avoid erasing and restoring from backup. 😬

I’m having the same issue and iOS is at 14.3 - Bluetooth disabled for now - but I use Bluetooth heavily and this is not a good solution

yes could only help.. the more people that start to report it the better.

If you do, tell them a few folks are starting to have this issue all at the same time. It might help them troubleshoot. I suspect it's something server side Apple has done recently.

I took my phone to the Apple Store on 12.6.2020 and they knew nothing about this issue. Any update on 14.3? Really frustrating when you head out and need navigation, only to see your screen in a death loop.

Update: I went back to the Apple Store on Dec 16 and they replaced my phone. Again, total surprise. No one has seen this message before. The message is back. Looks like I'll be spending some more (un)quality time on the phone with Apple again. Does Apple ever look at this forum?

put to sleep then turn on and Swipe down to access control center and disable Bluetooth, also upgrade to 14.2.1, it’s a bandaid but the phone works excerpt for Bluetooth access

Probably a stupid question but how do you restart the network settings?

I think marking this as "Solved" is a misnomer. Turning off bluetooth doesn't "solve" the issue, it simply masks the symptom.

Did Apple hire a bunch of Microsoft software engineers?
