Apple has released its iOS 18.3.2 update for the iPhone, along with a handful of other updates with bug fixes and performance enhancements. If you are having issues with your iPhone, we recommend that users update to the latest version as soon as they can. While bug fixes are vital, the rest of the update does not bring any new features or changes to the table except for one major addition.
Download: Apple releases iOS 18.3.2 for all iPhone users with a supplementary security fix
iPhone users can download and install the latest iOS 18.3.2 update from the Settings app on their compatible devices. Since it is a final update, no developer account integration is required, and the update will be available over the air. All you have to do is head to Settings > General > Software Update > and install the update by following the on-screen instructions. Note that the company has also released iPadOS 18.3.2, which can be downloaded and installed through the exact mechanism.
As mentioned earlier, the iOS 18.3.2 update does not bring anything new to the table apart from bug fixes and under-the-hood changes. However, it is still a vital update for your iPhone as Apple also includes security fixes in the new updates. The company has shared that a new security patch is part of the update, and it is a supplementary patch for an existing security fix. Apple has outlined the security fix on its support page, which is available not only on iOS 18.3.2 but also on iPadOS 18.3.2, macOS 15.3.2, visionOS 2.3.2, watchOS 11.3.2, and tvOS 18.3.2. You can check out the details below for more information on the security update.
Impact: Maliciously crafted web content may be able to break out of Web Content sandbox. This is a supplementary fix for an attack that was blocked in iOS 17.2. (Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals on versions of iOS before iOS 17.2.)
Description: An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved checks to prevent unauthorized actions.
Note that it is a supplementary update to the already released fix for the WebKit vulnerability, which was addressed last year with the release of iOS 17.2. The release notes mention that the issue could have exploited select individuals and that a breach only took place before the iOS 17.2 update. This means the company was unaware of any exploits after last year's initial update. Apple has also released the third developer beta of iOS 18.4, which will add significant features to the table. We will share more details on the subject, so be sure to stick around.
