Apple's iOS 27.2.1 fixes an iMessage bug that could let an attacker join a group chat, and Bluetooth and AirPlay flaws, so update now
MacRumors· 9 NovMacRumors reports that Apple's iOS 27.2.1, iPadOS 27.2.1 and macOS 27.2.1 updates fix a handful of security vulnerabilities, and it advises updating as soon as you can. An iMessage bug could let a remote attacker join a group chat to receive its messages, and another could let people see messages sent before they joined. Most of the others involve AirPlay and Bluetooth.
- On an iPhone or iPad, open Settings, then General, then Software Update and install 27.2.1. On a Mac, open System Settings, then General, then Software Update.
- If you use group chats for work or family, check the member list of each one and remove anyone you do not recognise.
