Apple updates iOS 13, fixes critical Mail and download issues
What's the story
Ever since iOS 13 started rolling out, Apple has been battling a wave of issues, including glitches killing apps in the background and creating problems with the camera, flashlight, iCloud backup. Now, in another damage control measure, the company has released an incremental update fixing critical issues revolving around built-in Mail, Files and Notes apps as well as background downloading. Here's all about it.
Fix #1
Patch for bugs in Mail, search, and background download
First of all, the latest release, dubbed iOS 13.2.3, patches a critical issue that prevents the search bar from working inside Mail, Files, and Notes. Then, it also removes bugs that keep apps from downloading content in the background and stop Mail from fetching new messages as well as including and quoting original message content in Exchange accounts.
Fix #2
Photo and attachment preview bug also fixed
In addition to the download and Mail-related issues, the latest release also fixes a glitch that keeps photos, links, and other attachments from appearing in the Messages details view of iOS. However, beyond this, there is nothing to look forward to in this update; no new features to play with or even security improvements for that matter.
Installation
How to install the latest release?
To install the latest iOS update, plug your device to the charger, head over to the settings of your device and tap on General. Next, tap on 'Software Update' and hit the 'Download and install'. The update will then be downloaded, post which you will get the option to install it immediately, later at midnight, or get reminded about it later.
Next update
Next feature upgrade would be iOS 13.3
Apple rolls out these incremental updates only as a way to patch annoying bugs and issues. The previous feature upgrade (bringing support for Deep Fusion photography and the AirPods Pro) came with the iOS 13.2, which seems to indicate the next one will be iOS 13.3. Notably, the upcoming version is already in beta test and is expected to bring Apple Watch, keyboard improvements.
