Outdated Versions

Recently my laptop got a hotfix update so the current version it's on is 1.16.1. Problem is since a few players I game with are on IOS and their versions are 1.16.0 because they didn't get the hotfix. We can't join each other anymore because of one of us being in a different version while the other two are stuck in 1.16.0. No updates in the App Store for Minecraft. Please fix so cross platform play works again. *Side note: I'm assuming we can't join each other because of different versions but not sure.*
