Bugs!
This release is mostly about squishing bugs – though the fact that it has come so very soon after the release of iOS 12.3 suggests there was an air of urgency about it.
Topmost among these is an issue that could prevent VoLTE calls happening, in both directions.
As you’ll know VoLTE means Voice over LTE and reflects the fact that voice calls have for some time now been made on 4G – something that will continue when 5G services are live, I believe.
So to lose the capability to make phone calls on your, you know, phone, is a pretty serious thing.
More Bugs!
The Messages app is the next area of concern. Even if you have Filter Unknown Senders enabled in messages, it’s possible you could still see messages from complete strangers and this update sets out to put that right.
The third thing to be fixed concerns junk messages. The link that allows you to report messages from unknown senders as junk may have gone missing and this update should ensure that it’s back.
How to get it
To download the update, open the Settings app, tap General, then Software Update. Note that it can take a little while sometimes for all eligible devices to be ready to download it. It’s a reasonably small update, so it shouldn't take long to download and install.
Here are Apple’s full release notes for the update
- Fixes an issue that could prevent making or receiving VoLTE calls
- Fixes issues in Messages that could cause messages from unknown senders to appear in your conversation list even though Filter Unknown Senders is enabled
- Fixes an issue that could prevent the Report Junk link from appearing in Messages threads from unknown senders
