iOS 16.4.1 Update

Apple has now started rolling out the latest iOS 16.4.1 update to many of its iPhone device. It’s just about two weeks since the release of the iOS 16.4 update, which had brought a lot of new features with it. Comparing to the previous update, the latest iOS 16.4.1 update does not bring any new features along with it, but is just aimed at fixing some bugs and to provide some security updates to the devices.

As mentioned, the iOS 16.4 update brought a lot of new features including the new Emoji, Safari Web Push notifications, Voice Isolation for phone calls and others, but at the same time had also brought with it a lot of bugs. Users had previously mentioned the issues in the weather app which showed status as either slow or unavailable. Users often also had to re-enter their Wi-Fi credential since the device started forgetting it. On top of all this, the devices were also reported to have battery and heating issues.

Now coming to the latest iOS 16.4.1 update, as mentioned its primary objective is to fix bugs and two main issues have been addressed. Siri at some cases never responded to its users and the pushing hand emoji didn’t show skin tone variations. These two issues will be fixed with the update along with the security updates.

Many of Apple’s iPhone devices including the Apple iPhone XR have received the update. Users should just go to “Settings” and tap on “General” and in the next menu”, select “Software Update”. The new updates can be downloaded and installed from there.
