Apple Releases iOS 16.6.1

Introduction

Apple has just rolled out iOS 16.6.1, an update available for all supported devices. Just like iOS 16.6, which did not introduce any new features, iOS 16.6.1 places emphasis on security. In addition to iOS 16.6.1, Apple has also released a public version of iPadOS 16.6.1 and watchOS 9.6.2. These software updates are patching actively exploited vulnerabilities which means that you should consider updating asap.

Update to iOS 16.6.1

The update process is as always quite simple. You just simply go to Settings - General - Software Update and your iPhone will indicate whether a newer version of iOS is available for your device. If you do not mind being one of the first updating to the latest iOS version, you can always enable automatic downloads and your iPhone will get updated to the latest version of iOS on it own. Usually at night when charging your device.
