Apple is delivering on that promise with an update that you should install as soon as possible. iOS 14.8.1 contains 12 — yes, a dozen — security fixes for a swath of issues, ranging from kernel vulnerabilities to bugs in the Safari WebKit engine. These are the sort of issues that could let the bad guys get a foothold into your device to wreak more havoc. Apple also fixed many bugs on Monday with the release of an update to iOS 15: iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1. Apple also released the iPadOS 14.8.1 for tablet owners who decided to stick with iOS 14. A complete list of fixes for both iOS 14.8.1 and iPadOS 14.8.1 can be found here. To install the update, tap on Settings > General and go to Software Update to download the update.
