iOS 18.3.1 update: Stability and security improvements for iPhone and iPad

Apple has released iOS 18.3.1 and iPadOS 18.3.1, minor updates to iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, which were introduced back in September last year.

Here's What We Know

The iOS 18.3.1 update appeared two weeks after the release of iOS 18.3.

The new software is available for download on compatible iPhones and iPads via a wireless connection. To do this, go to Settings, General, Software Update. Apple has also released iPadOS 17.7.5 for those who are still using iPadOS 17.

According to the official release notes, iOS 18.3.1 includes bug fixes and security updates. The update aims to improve the stability and security of devices, providing better system performance.

The iOS 18.3.1 update prepares devices for the next major version of iOS 18.4, which is likely to be released in April. We may see the first beta version of iOS 18.4 as early as this week.

Apple continues to keep its devices up-to-date by releasing regular updates to improve their functionality and security.

It is known that the DeepSeek iOS app has been found to have serious security issues, including the transmission of unencrypted data. Despite the app's popularity in the App Store, its security was much weaker than expected.

Recently, a former iOS engineer apologised for leaking classified information to journalists about Journal and other Apple products. Last year, Apple sued its former employee.
