Apple’s iOS 16.6 Update Addresses iPhone Security Issues
Hackers are currently exploiting two out of the numerous significant security enhancements in the newly launched iOS 16.6 update by Apple.
The technology giant has shared information on its support page about more than a dozen security flaws ranging from categories such as kernel, Find My, WebKit and Apple Neural Engine.
According to Apple, two of the vulnerabilities were likely actively exploited.
The exploited WebKit issue was first fixed with Rapid Security Response iOS 16.5.1 (c). And the core bug most likely to be aggressively exploited was probably first fixed in iOS 15.7.1.
However, Apple claims that iOS 16.6 also fixes these vulnerabilities.
To install iOS 16.6 manually, tap Settings, then General > Software Update. Then tap Download & Install to start the update and keep your iPhone safe.
