Install iOS 18.6 Update immediately, Apple users are the target of hackers; ignoring it will cost heavily..
Apple released the latest software updates, iOS 18.6, iPadOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6, tvOS 18.6, watchOS 11.6, and visionOS 2.6, for its devices earlier this week. The company has made it mandatory for all users to install these updates. In this, Apple has fixed some serious flaws, due to which they can become victims of hackers. Here we tell you about this update, and why this update is important for Apple users.
What were the flaws in the software?
Bleeping Computer reported that the security flaw present in Apple's software is CVE-2025-6558, with the help of which hackers can bypass the security of the browser and take remote access to the device through arbitrary code in some special HTML pages. Browsers like Chrome have also been affected due to this flaw. This flaw was first detected by Google's Threat Analysis Group in June, and the Google Chrome team released a patch update for it in July.
To avoid this flaw, users should update the software version of their device immediately. If you are an iPhone user, then install iOS 18.6 immediately. By doing this, you can protect your device and data from hackers and this security issue.
Similarly, if you use an iPad, then install iPadOS 18.6. Similarly, you have to update all your Apple devices. Apple often does not share information about security flaws until it releases a patch.
How to update an iPhone
To update iOS 18.6 on iPhone, first of all, you have to open the Settings menu on your device. After this, you have to tap on the General option. In the new page, you will see the option of Software Update. Click on it.
A new page will open on the iPhone in which you will see the details of iOS 18.6. Here you have to click on Update Now. Before clicking on this, you have to ensure that your phone is connected to stable Wi-Fi or that there is enough data in the phone. Along with this, the battery in the phone should be up to 80 percent.
Which iPhone models will get the update?
If your iPhone is already running on iOS 18 version, then it is compatible with iOS 18.6. That is, all models from iPhone XS to the latest iPhone 16 series will get this update. On the other hand, if your iPhone is older than the XS model, then it will not support iOS 18.
In such a situation, it would be better for you to upgrade to the new model. Using an old device means that the security of your device is at risk.
