Apple has initiated the rollout of the iOS 18.2.1 update, nearly a month after the stable release of iOS 18.2 for iPhone users. This new update introduces enhancements such as Apple Intelligence and a redesigned Mail app, alongside important bug fixes.
Eligible iPhone users can download iOS 18.2.1 by navigating to the Settings app, selecting General, and then tapping on Software Update. The update carries a new build number that users will find during the installation process.
In tandem with iOS, Apple also released iPadOS 18.2.1, which aligns closely with iOS 18, albeit with features tailored for iPads. However, updates for Apple Watch, Mac, Apple TV, Vision Pro, and HomePod are currently unavailable.
Apple encourages all users to upgrade to iOS 18.2.1, as the update primarily focuses on bug fixes and overall system stability, rather than introducing significant new features.
Detailed information regarding the specific issues addressed in this update has not been disclosed by Apple. Furthermore, the company is actively working on the upcoming iOS 18.3, with the first beta released in December. Additional beta versions may be released at any time, and the full version of iOS 18.3 is anticipated to be made available later this month.
