iOS critical security update 16.6.1
September 11, 2023
Apple has released a critical security update 16.6.1 for iPhones and iPads. The update patches a bug that could allow a hacker to take over your device with no action on your part.
Due to the severity of this exploit, we are requesting users to update their iOS/iPadOS as soon as possible.
The update should take less than 30 minutes to perform:
- Open the iPhone Settings app
- Select General
- Select Software Update. The device should search for an update
- Select Download and Install. Note: your iPhone will not let you update unless you have a sufficient battery charge
- Enter your device passcode to confirm the download and install
- The iPhone will download the update. Once the installation is ready, the device will automatically reboot to initiate the update. This will take 5-10 minutes.
