The iOS 16.3.1 update fixes some features and patches a bug that might be actively exploited.
Apple released iOS 16.3.1 on Monday, weeks after the release of iOS 16.3. While the previous version included new features like Apple ID security keys and second-generation HomePod support, the latest update fixes some issues that iPhone users have been experiencing recently, including a bug that Apple has been actively exploiting.
The following is included in the Apple iOS 16.3.1 update.
What is iOS 16.3.1
The latest iOS update includes bug fixes and security updates that fix issues with iCloud, Siri, Find My, and error detection.
The update may also fix the iCloud issue that some users experienced after the release of iOS 16.3. Some Reddit and Twitter users reported that they were unable to backup to iCloud since the previous update.
Another issue that iOS 16.3.1 may fix is crash detection on the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro. Error detection has helped alert first responders to some car crashes, but some users are triggered when they're riding a roller coaster with their phone.
Apple says here that this is fixed from iOS 16.3.1.
- iCloud settings may become unresponsive or displayed incorrectly when apps use iCloud.
- Siri requests for Find My may not work.
- Updates to crash detection for iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models.
