If at first you do not succeed, situation one other replace. That is precisely what Apple did immediately when it reissued iOS 17.6.1 barely greater than per week and a half after it dropped the replace the primary time. The unique replace carried the construct variety of 21G93 and the brand new one launched immediately has a construct variety of 21G101. The brand new model of iOS 17.6.1 fixes a bug that might forestall customers from enabling or disabling the Superior Knowledge Safety function.

Nonetheless, to be clear, this is similar situation getting patched by Apple within the first launch of iOS 17.6.1 so it’s unclear how immediately’s replace differs from the primary launch of iOS 17.6.1. The Superior Knowledge Safety function is an elective setting that gives customers with the best stage of cloud knowledge safety from Apple. The bug solely affected a small variety of iPhone customers and prevented them from turning on the function. Those that tried and could not would obtain an error message.

As we stated, these making an attempt to disable Superior Knowledge Safety have been additionally impacted by the bug. After turning it off, customers would see Superior Knowledge Safety disabled within the function’s interface though in actuality it was nonetheless energetic and dealing to guard iCloud knowledge. As Apple factors out, “This replace consists of essential bug fixes and addresses a problem that forestalls enabling or disabling Superior Knowledge Safety.”

To put in the replace go to Settings > Common > Software program Replace and comply with the instructions. These already working the primary iOS 17.6.1 model on their iPhones won’t see the immediate for the brand new replace whereas solely these working iOS 17.6 or older will obtain it. We’ve got two responses to that. First, all iPhone customers can set up the brand new model of iOS 17.6.1 from Apple’s developer heart.

Secondly, though Apple referred to the unique iOS 17.6.1 launch as essential, it didn’t really feel that the discharge was worthy of implementing a degree change to iOS 17.6.2. Now if we have been on this scenario (my iPhone 15 Professional Max is working iOS 18.1 Developer Beta 2), I would most likely make an effort to replace the common means by the settings app. If I had put in the primary iOS 17.6.1 replace and did not obtain the immediate, I would go to the developer heart and set up it from there.

For these of you with an iPad, immediately additionally noticed the discharge of a second iPadOS 17.6.1 model sharing the identical 21G101 construct quantity as immediately’s iOS 17.6.1 launch.
