Google fixes bug with Google Photos app and new iOS 16.3.1

There are a large number of services and applications to manage all our documents and photos in a place outside our iPhone or iPad. One of these services is iCloud, Apple’s cloud storage. However, there are many other options such as Google Photos, Google’s service for storing images in the cloud and being able to consult them from anywhere. a few hours ago Apple released iOS 16.3.1 with fixes for some major security bugs and apparently Google Photos was shutting down

when you try to open the app with this new update. However, from Google, they rushed to fix the error with a new update to their app.

Google Photos already works with the new iOS 16.3.1

iOS 16.3.1 arrived yesterday by surprise and with no news of iOS 16.4. Many experts claim that betas of iOS 16.4 are not coming out because the code would see major leaks of the next devices from the Big Apple, among which the mixed reality system which will be launched in the next few months. However, there is no need to release iOS 16.4 to fix major security bugs.

That’s why it was launched iOS 16.3.1. Apple’s notes ensure that a series of security flaws have been patched, including a WebKit vulnerability through which malicious code could be executed arbitrarily. This produced the release of the security patch.

However, Google Photos was not working when the update was first rolled out.

Users of this app were complaining that they could not access it after upgrading to the new version of iOS. However, it only took Google a few hours to release a new update to its app to work around the issue that was preventing widespread access to the app. He may have used some code that was revised in iOS 16.3.1. What is clear is that, as happened with Google Photos, it is very possible that it could happen with other applications, we will have to be vigilant.
