- Two updates rolled out by Apple were quickly canceled
- Because of these updates, Safari crashes
- A fix is probably on its way to being released
Just a few hours ago, Apple deployed a major security patch for iOS 16.5.1 and macOS Ventura 13.4.1, for all users. But very quickly, these two versions were withdrawn, because technical problems linked to their installation were apparently spotted by several Internet users. However, it's a safe bet that the developer is preparing an improved edition, which could see the light of day on our computers and mobiles before the end of the day.
It is not yet known when the publication might take place precisely, but just stay connected to the web to be notified when it does. Then, you should know that these updates do not behave like those that we are generally used to downloading. So, no need to start the process manually: everything happens automatically in the background. We call these changes RPS, toRapid Security Response.
Several problems caused by RPS
According to our sources, installing this RPS would have prevented certain websites from loading normally from the Safari browser. However, this is the native solution automatically installed on all iPhones and all Macs today, and favored by a majority of users. According to recentstatistics, it is even the second most popular browser on the planet, just behind Google Chrome.
Among the pages blocked with the faulty update, we find in particular the video app Zoom or the social networks Instagram and Facebook. The messaging platform WhatsApp would also be affected, according to several testimonies. It is not known what piece of code may have caused this incident, at this time. If you have installed the update and are experiencing these bugs, however, you can uninstall it by going to the Settings app on your iPhone. The operation takes less than five minutes, and it is the best solution yet.
A major flaw fixed
Despite everything, we will have understood, the RCS still delivers a patch making equipped iPhones more secure. The patch in question addresses a vulnerability in WebKit, the rendering engine that powers Safari and other applications. So we keep our fingers crossed thatAppleis working hard to offer us a stable version of the update shortly, in order to avoid any additional risk for our personal data.
