Apple Releases iOS 12.5.1 To Fix COVID-19 Exposure Notification Issues On Older iPhone Models

A few weeks ago, we saw how Apple momentarily relaunched iOS 12 with the update to version 12.5, with the intention of equipping iPhones that cannot run later versions of the system with the COVID-19 exposure notification. Today we see another such update.

The company released iOS 12.5.1 with solution of errors related to incorrect display of language profiles, so if you are one of those who read us from an iPhone 6, it is better to update your terminal as soon as possible. You can do this by Settings > General > Software update.


A good idea that ultimately did not contribute to what we thought

Installing this update on your iPhone allows it to receive notifications of exposure to COVID-19, which can take preventive measures to infect as few people as possible. With 2021 featured in vaccination campaigns, this service is unlikely to be used much more, but we continue with a very high number of infected and any help is minimal.

What about iPhones that don't update to iOS 13 and why isn't that the end of the world?

There is no equivalent update for iOS 14, this only applies to older phones. So, if you have an iPhone 6s or a more modern terminal, you don’t have to do anything. If you need to update an iPhone 6 or similar terminal, we recommend that you make a backup copy and update with the phone charging to avoid possible breakdowns of its batteries due to its age.
