Apple today launched iOS 18.3.2 and Ipados 18.3.2 for its iPhones and iPads. This version contains an important safety correction that corrects an exploit that has been used in a generalized way and was first corrected in iOS and Ipados 17.2, but the new patch is related in some way. However, it also brings another discomfort for all fans of the brand that are trying to flee from Apple Intelligence.
The new software can already be downloaded on the compatible iPhones and iPads via Ota as always, accessing the adjustment app, entering the general section and selecting the option of Software update. According to the notes of the new version of iOS that Apple facilitates, the IOS update 18.3.2 It includes corrections of important errors and security updates such as this mentioned problem that could prevent the reproduction of some streaming contents. However, it is a minor update since Apple is also working on iOS 18.4 and Ipados 18.4, more important updates that will be launched in early April.
