iOS 14.4 rolled out on Tuesday, and in addition to new features and bug fixes, it also patches three security flaws that Apple says « may have been actively exploited. » One of the security flaws affected the kernel and two others affected the Safari WebKit engine.
Some people wait days, weeks, or even months to update their iPhone to the latest version of iOS, while others open the Settings app to perform the update as soon as the notification pops up. No matter which type of user you are, you might want to expedite the process this time around, because Apple released a support document for iOS 14.4 shortly after it rolled out on Tuesday revealing that the update patches security flaws that “may have been actively exploited.” In other words, you could be putting your private data at risk by waiting to update your iPhone.
