You need to update your iPhone to iOS 14.6 immediately

Not only bringing new features, the iOS 14.6 update also fixes a series of security errors on iPhones to prevent crooks from taking over the device.

Accordingly, the iOS 14.6 update will patch vulnerabilities that hackers can take advantage of to take control of iPhones and iPads.

In particular, hackers can take advantage of audio files containing malicious code to execute many pieces of code on users' iPhones to exploit information, gain access to.

In addition, this release also fixes the following issues:

1. Unlock with Apple Watch may not work after using iPhone Lock on Apple Watch
2. The prompt may appear as a blank line
3. Call barring extension may not appear in Settings
4. Occasionally, a Bluetooth device may disconnect or send audio to another device during a call
5. iPhone may experience reduced performance on startup.

With iOS 14.6, users will be able to use new features such as sharing Apple Card credit cards with 5 family members through the Apple Card Family application; allows users to update an email in addition to the phone number with the AirTag device.

After users update to iOS 14.6, the Apple Music application allows users to listen to high-quality music (Lossless), supporting the Dolby Atmos audio standard.

Currently, iOS 14-compatible iPhone/iPad users can download the iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6 updates for free via the OTA protocol. To update iOS 14.6, users need to access the Settings app => General => Software Update .
