Apple fixes issues on fake emergency calls, screen lines and adds new features: iOS 16.3 finally released!

Apple released the iOS 16.3 update, which fixed the problems of sending false alerts, visible lines on the screen, and also added new functions to the iPhone.

iOS 16.3 is the third major update to iOS 16 released last September, coming a month after iOS 16.2. iOS 16.3 can be downloaded with Wi-Fi to eligible iPhones and iPads by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

Apple has also released a security patch iOS 15.7.3 for iPhone users with older devices.

Today's update also introduces Apple ID security keys, which provide physical two-factor authentication. It replaces the digital two-factor authentication used to sign in to an Apple ID. It allows you to confirm access to your Apple ID not only by using an authorization code from email or SMS, but also with the help of other iOS devices.

In this update, users are also offered new Unity wallpapers as well as support for the second generation HomePod.

Apple has improved the Emergency SOS feature to prevent accidental emergency calls. Emergency SOS can be activated as before. For this, it is necessary to hold down the side button and the volume up or down button for a certain time and then release them.

As part of this update, Apple has also fixed the issue where horizontal lines were temporarily appearing on the iPhone 14 Pro Max screen. Siri bugs with finding music and CarPlay have also been fixed.
