Apple has launched today iOS 16.4.1 for iPhone users, which includes important security updates and bug fixes related to Siri and emoji.
The update is available for all iPhone models that can run iOS 16, including iPhone 8 and newer. The update size is 299MB.
One of the major fixes in the update is related to the Pushing Hands emoji, which previously showed no variations in skin tone. Also, some users reported problems with siri not respondingwhich has also been addressed in this update.
Most importantly, iOS 16.4.1 includes fixes for two actively exploited security vulnerabilities: IOSurfaceAccelerator and WebKit. The former could have allowed an application to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges, while the latter could have led to arbitrary code execution when processing malicious web content. Apple is aware that both issues could have been actively exploited.
Users can update their iPhones to iOS 16.4.1 by going to the Settings app, selecting General, then Software Update. It is important to keep your iPhone up to date with the latest software updates to ensure the security and functionality of your device.
