After a few weeks following the beta 1 release, Apple has published the iOS 14.4 beta 2 updates for iPhones.
After installing the appropriate profile on an iPhone or iPad, iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4 can be downloaded via the Apple Developer Center or over the air.
You may also use 3uTools to download and flash it.
iOS 14.4 offers additional HomePod mini capabilities that make use of the mini’s U1 processor when paired with the HomePod 14.4 beta, which is only accessible to a small number of testers.
A new option in Settings in iOS 14.4 beta 2 allows you to stop the Memoji keyboard from constantly displaying alongside the emoji keyboard. Communication Limits, which enable you to establish limits depending on your connections, are now available through Screen Time.
This iOS 14.4 beta 2 is now available on 3uTools; here are some instructions for getting it on your device.
Step 1: Connect your iDevice to your computer using the original USB cord, and then run 3uTools.
Step 2: Select firmware iOS 14.4 Beta 2 from Flash & JB Easy Flash. Please tick the box “Retain User’s Data” if you wish to update with data. After you click “Flash,” a pop-up reminder will appear; please read it carefully.
In case of data loss, it is advised that you back up your iDevice on a regular basis.
Step 3: While flashing, keep the network and USB connections stable and patiently wait for 5 to 10 minutes. After a reboot, your iDevice will be upgraded to iOS 14.4 Beta 2.

When tethering an iPhone or iPad with a cellular plan, keep in mind that you’ll either be utilizing the data from that plan or a smaller pool set aside for tethering. Some activities, such as viewing films or downloading huge files, will use up your carrier’s data allowance. In general, even if your phone’s carrier has zeroed out the activity, it won’t be on your connected device.
