When iOS 16 arrives, iPhone owners won’t have to deal with full software installs for the latest security patches. Apple is launching a new feature with the mobile OS called Rapid Security Response, which enables the company to automatically apply security fixes to users’ devices in between its standard software updates. It’s one of the security features the tech giant has announced at WWDC this year, along with Safety Check that gives users a quick way to see which contacts have access to their location and calendar info. Safety Check will also show them the permissions used by every app on their device.
As MacRumors notes, iOS 16 will add a new section under Automatic Updates in Settings called “Install System and Data Files.” When toggled on, users can get software fixes that aren’t tied with full updates, installed automatically and without them having to restart their phones or lift a finger altogether. It’s switched on by default upon upgrading.
