Apple increased security with iOS 16.3

Apple has released a brand new update for iPhone devices which contains important security updates.

Apple improved iOS's security with the new update they have just released. iOS users can now use physical security keys for their Apple ID's two-factor authentication for the first time. The update also fixed common problems for iPhone users. The company announced this new measure last year, giving celebrities, journalists, and government workers who face unusual security threats additional protection.

Emergency SOS controls have also been updated in iOS 16.3. You can still press the power and volume-up buttons to call emergency services, but it won't call 911 until you release them. You can cancel this way before emergency services are informed. Additionally, the update addresses bugs that prevented the Home lock screen widget from displaying the Home app's status, horizontal lines appearing on the iPhone 14 Pro Max after waking, and strokes not appearing on shared boards in the Freeform app. Lastly, it adds support for the brand-new HomePod of the second generation.

Go to Settings > General > Software Update to install the update on a device that is compatible.
