Apple’siOS 16.3update was released less than one month ago, butiPhoneusers are already being treated to another update. Usually, when another update comes so soon after a core change, the result is a mediocre collection of nameless backend fixes.
That’s not the case here though, with boosts coming to some majoriPhonefeatures. For starters, users experiencing issues with iCloud settings should no longer have trouble. Previously, the settings panel could display incorrect settings or become entirely unresponsive if apps were using iCloud, but that should now be fixed.
Siri is also getting a welcome update, to try and fix issues some users were experiencing when using Siri and Find My together. It should allow Siri to work more seamlessly with the location tracking software.
Perhaps the most noteworthy upgrade iniOS16.3.1 comes to Crash Detection. The feature, which is available oniPhone 14models, allows the iPhone to detect sudden impacts and can contact the emergency services if you are unable to respond.
All in all, it’s a great suite of free upgrades for iPhone users. It may sound like a small series of changes, but they serve to greatly improve the overall user experience.
To install the update, simply head into Settings > General > Software Update > Download and Install.
