While Apple is developing iOS 14 through the betas program, you should not lose sight of iOS 13. There is still a whole summer where users must continue updating devices with iOS 13 until autumn arrives and the release of the new generation of the operating system. Today Apple has released the version of iOS 13.6 and in this article we tell you what is included.
What’s new in iOS 13.6
As we say, throughout the summer Apple is ‘forced’ to release updates to iOS 13. This includes superficial improvements in regards to bugs that the operating system is presenting and also security problems. The latter is really important since the company has a commitment to the security of their devices. That is why updates will be released on a regular basis in order to solve the security problems that arise. With iOS 13.6 and iPadOS 13.6 it is all about chasing the same thing, solving all the bugs and security flaws that arise.
This is why we are facing an update that practically does not include notable changes, except for the new CarKey function. This feature that was initially introduced with iOS 14 will also reach the rest of the versions through a simple update. In this way, the car can be opened without the need for a physical key since it will be included in the Wallet. It will also allow you to share the card so that other people like friends or family can open or drive the car. In order to avoid vehicle theft in the event that your iPhone is not stolen, you can always delete the virtual key from iCloud.
In addition to this feature, which is the most prominent, there are small changes that are as follows:
- Ability to automatically update iPhone to the latest available version.
- Incorporation of a new category in Health called symptoms, to include possible pathological signs of a disease.
- News support on CarPlay.
- News narrated by voice on Apple News +.
The really important things are undoubtedly the security improvements, and also the bug fixes. One of the most talked about is the one related to the massive discharge of the battery in iOS 13.5.1 being a bug related to Apple Music. In this new update, this problem is solved at first, so the autonomy will return to normal values, which is expected in these cases.
Update iPhone and iPad
For all that has been discussed, it is important to always update the devices to the latest version of the operating system that is available. Above all, it is relevant for the solution to security problems that create invulnerabilities within the iPhone and iPad that can be used by different hackers to steal personal information.
In order to update the iPad and the iPhone you simply have to follow the following steps:
- Check the iOS version of your iPhone. This way you will know if you can update or not. If you can update you can continue with the following steps.
- Go to Settings> General.
- Click on the ‘Software update’ section.
- Download and install the update that will appear.
It is important to note that the download can take several minutes as servers can end up diversifying downloads by receiving a large number of update requests. You just have to be patient in these cases to update the equipment.
