If you were one of the 40,000 unfortunate souls affected by yesterday’s buggy iOS 8.0.1 update that killed cell service and broke Touch ID, the fix is finally here.

Apple has released iOS 8.0.2 to the public and along with fixing any iPhone 6 and 6 Pluses affected by yesterday’s release, it also contains bug fixes for HealthKit, third-party keyboards, and Safari, as well as improvements to the Reachability feature on iPhones 6 and 6 Plus.

The new update can be downloaded straight to your iPhone by going to Settings >> General >> Software Update. You can also grab it from iTunes.

    Downloaded 8.0.2 and swiping from home screen to activate options for wifi, Bluetooth, flashlight etc no longer works. If I reboot the phone it works for a while and then stops. Anyone having the same issue? Thanks
