At the same time that it is actively testing iOS 13.4.5, Apple has released iOS 13.4.1 and iPadOS 13.4.1, with minor fixes to the previous release on March 24.
Apple made the update to iOS 13.4 available on Tuesday afternoon at its normal release time. The update includes a fix for FaceTime calls made on a iOS 13.4 device not connecting to an iOS 9 or macOS El Capitan device, and other small bug fixes.
Other fixes include rectification of a bug with the Settings app where choosing Bluetooth from the quick actions menu on the Home screen would fail, and fixing an issue on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (4th generation) and 11-inch iPad Pro (2nd generation) where the flashlight may not turn on after tapping the Flashlight button in Control Center or on the Lock screen.
Users can manually update their iPhone and iPad by accessing the Settings app then selecting General, then Software Update, followed by the option to install the update if it is made available to them.
Users with automatic updates enabled will be advised when the update has been downloaded to their device, with a notification informing it is ready to be installed.
Apple's iOS 13.4 brought iCloud folder sharing, full-fledged support for cursor and Bluetooth input peripherals like trackpads, and new Memoji stickers. Other changes include fixes to Mail, better VPN user interface notifications, and some changes to Music.

Hopefully it also fixes the sharing bug. Don’t know about anyone else, but I couldn’t share anything from any app. About 95% of the time an app would Just freeze whenever the share button was tapped.
I've been having problems (iOS 13.4) with AirPlay. My phone will be streaming music to my Yamaha "MusicCast BAR 400" sound bar (with latest firmware upgrade) just fine, then suddenly it will stop playing; sometimes the connection will also drop, other times it will stay. This is over my small WiFi network with no signal problems. I've also had problems where if I press
I wasn't even aware of the Facetime bug, but I encountered it a few days ago.
A friend of mine facetimed me multiple times, and I was unable to answer the call no matter which one of my devices I tried to answer with. I was wondering what the hell was going on. No matter what I tried, it didn't work, no iPhone, no iPad no Mac, no whatever.
It now makes sense, because I know that my friend was using an old device with an old version of iOS on it, I think it was OS 9.
I'm glad an update is out already, because that was an annoying bug.
