Apple’s iPhone and iPad lineup received iOS 14.5.1 and iPadOS 14.5.1 on Monday. The upgrade arrives just a week after the final announcement of iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5! But there’s a legitimate explanation for the back-to-back releases. It contains a fix for two security bugs that Apple says have already being exploited. So if you are wondering “should I update to iOS 14.5.1?” then here’s your answer in this article.
Now would be the best time to update to iPadOS & iOS 14.5.1, or your iPhone and iPad will become an open target for hacking. The iOS App Tracking Transparency feature, which was meant to allow users more control about which applications have access to what personal data, has a bug. This might allow hackers to execute commands on a victim’s phone without their knowledge.
Fortunately, updating your iPhone is quick and easy. Here’s how to do this:
Apple says “This update resolves a problem with Data Tracking Transparency in which certain users who previously disabled Allow Apps to Request to Track in Settings do not receive prompts from apps after re-enabling it. This update also includes essential security patches, making it a must-install for all users.”
Previously Apple’s App Tracking Transparency was one of iOS 14.5’s most talked-about features. But it had a lot of problems right out of the start. With this new update, all the bugs are resolved. One of the two bugs, a memory corruption problem, is now fixed by Apple. Alongside that, an integer overflow was fixed by improving input validation by this new iOS update. In short, you will be safe after this update.
