iPhone Users Update Operating System Immediately, Apple Warns
A bug in Apple's iOS version published six weeks
ago has been fixed with the latest update
Technology company Apple has introduced the latest update to fix the bug in the iOS version released six weeks ago. The iOS 16.6.1 version released on Thursday has fixed the security bug. A warning issued to Apple from the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab said the bug could weaken the iPhone's security without user contact.
Apple confirmed
In a web post about iOS 16.6.1, Apple confirmed, without providing further details, that the security flaw in the operating system has been fixed. Apple will introduce the new mobile operating system iOS 17 with the iPhone 15 next week. Unfortunately, this bug is too dangerous to wait until the release of iOS 17 (which is expected by the end of this month). So, Apple had to release the latest version of 16.6 immediately.
iPhone Settings
To install the quick update, users need to go to their iPhone Settings and select "General" to update the software. Apple also said that this update is also available for iPadOS. Regarding iPadOS 16 Updates
Shared Tab Groups
With strong new productivity and collaboration capabilities, iPadOS 16 expands on the adaptability of the tablet even further. You can easily keep your family images up to date using iCloud Shared Photo Library. A sent message may now be edited or reversed, and there are new options to launch and control collaborations in Messages. New compose and inbox capabilities are available in Mail, and Shared Tab Groups and next-generation security with passkeys are now included in Safari.
New Multitasking feature for the iPad
You may work with numerous overlapping windows and quickly navigate between them thanks to Stage Manager, an altogether new multitasking feature for the iPad. Everyone should install this update since it contains significant security updates.
