Apple, before the release of iOS 16.2, brings us iOS 16.1.1 and iPadOS 16.1.1 with bug fixes and security updates.
A month before the release of iOS 16.2, Apple released iOS 16.1.1 and iPadOS 16.1.1 with bug fixes and security updates. iOS 16.1.1 follows the release of iOS 16.1 last month and the continuation of the iOS 16.2 beta testing. It is recommended for all iOS 16 devices.
Although the reports that have been released are vague, version 16.1.1 likely fixes two annoying issues. One affected some users' ability to stay connected to Wi-Fi networks , and the other affected Apple 's SKAdNetwork , which "allows advertisers to track ad success by attributing app installs to specific ad campaigns."
According to Apple, “The iOS 16.1.1 includes bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users.”
