This could be the last in the iOS 18 universe, before the company fixes the chinks and bugs with the iOS 26 version that will be announced with the iPhone 17 series in the next few months. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This is the smallest iOS 18 update we have received till date which hints at minimal focus on new features and primarily aiming to fix any possible stability issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><strong>iOS 18.6 Update: Brings Major Security Fixes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple has confirmed the iOS 18.6 update details with its release notes that tells us more about the new version rolling out. The company says its new update fixes important bugs and security issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And one of the issues was linked to the Photos app that has now been resolved. The company also has fixed the security issue that may have enabled attackers to spoof websites on Safari and target devices to control their actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">In addition to protecting the devices, Apple is also making it possible to download apps from websites, which has become mandatory in the EU regions. You can even install third-party app stores on iPhones in these countries, something that Android has supported for many years. Apple will obviously share its guidelines to make sure that iPhone users don\u2019t fall for the wrong\/malicious websites from where they download the apps or the app store itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The iOS 18.6 update comes with a download package of 762 MB which is far less than the usual 10GB or more size that we have seen over the previous iOS 18.6 beta updates in the last few weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u00a0The new iOS 26 beta 4 update brings a slew of new features and some design changes that have got people talking. Most of you would remember the Liquid Glass interface that Apple unveiled at the WWDC 25 keynote with the iOS 26 version, and later tweaked to look less glassy but that has now been reverted back to its default state. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-e71bd712c195739a jsx-630232066 artcta\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">News18 Tech delivers the latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements, and more.
