Apple has released an update for its mobile operating system after serious security bugs were discovered this week.
The company urges owners of iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches to install the latest version of its software as soon as possible.
Apple warns three security flaws may have been exploited. It would not disclose any further details until they have time for an investigation and updates are realeased.
Apple is only reporting that “”A remote attacker may be able to cause arbitrary code execution.” Sounds serious.
Apple pushed out the security patches on Tuesday as part of iOS 14.4, which also has some other minor bug fixes.
I strongly advise you update now.
To update your iPhone go to…
Settings > General > Software Update > Download and Install

Thank you for the heads up.
Thank you for the timely advice. Only takes a few minutes to be safe!
Thanks, I D/Led the update yesterday on my iPad and iPhone.
I have an older iPad that can’t update. Can I assume this isn’t affected?
Me too & it won’t let me even delete apps to make the space needed
Offload unwanted apps to free up storage, delete old text no longer needed and move photos to iCloud; I had the same issue with my iPad 4. The Apple help desk is nice to work with too.
Hope this helps.
Done, done, and done! Thanks
Thanks, glad you made me aware. I updated both my phone and my I Pad and my wife’s also.great service. I read your column very day.
Thanks for the helpful information. I already updated the phone and will also update my iPad. If this is so urgent, I’m curious as to why I haven’t heard anything about it at all hrough any media sources, unless I missed it.
good point, Celeste
I had seen this on the news but held off, Till I read it in your newsletter. On all APPLE info I defer to you to keep us updated.
Thanks
You’re the best! My iPad didn’t announce a software update, as it usually does, but when I searched specifically for it, it was there. Thanks for the warning.
Thanks Pete,
Love your blogs and products.
Thanks! I appreciate all you share!
Thanks for all your information you send us daily. I really appreciate it and when I see an email from you Imalways read it. My husband and I updated our watch, iPhone, and iPad!
I saw this a few days ago and immediately checked my phone for updates and it didn’t show any. After reading the weekly reminders from you today I went back and read everything. Thank you!! I followed the steps you included and sure enough, there it was! No alert on my phone, but in the steps you had I am now downloading the update!
Thank you so much!
