Apple releases iOS 15.7.1 to fix major security bugs

Operating system updates always try to bring something new to the previous version. For older operating systems, the existence of support is essential to keep devices and users safe. This is the case of iOS 15 which was relegated by iOS 16 with its launch in September this year. However, many devices cannot be updated to this latest version. For them, Apple has released iOS 15.7.1 with important security bug fixes that are recommended to install.

Big security changes in iOS 15.7.1, now available

iOS 15.7.1 and iPadOS 15.7.1 are now available for all users who wish to download the update. These users can be two. On the one hand, users with devices that no longer support iOS and iPadOS 16. On the other hand, users who, even if they have a device compatible with iOS and iPadOS 16, prefer not to update their device at the moment and prefer to stay with the new versions of iOS 15.

This new version 15.7.1 of iOS and iPadOS incorporates excellent security bug fixes which have been exposed on Apple’s official support site. Many of these bugs will also be fixed for iOS 16 in the next big update in the coming weeks. Some of these bugs are kernel-level vulnerabilities, which could be exploited by malicious users and compromise the system.

It’s because of it these security updates are 100% recommended by Apple. In fact, if they weren’t interested in continuing to protect the security of users and their devices, they might not waste time updating the operating system. To install it, just download the build from Settings > General > Software Updates from your device (with iOS 15 or lower compatible with iOS 15) and follow the steps.
