iOS 14.7.1 comes a week after Apple has launched iOS 14.7, an update that supported MagSafe Battery Pack (iPhone dedicated 12 and future iPhone models), new options for Apple Card Family and application improvements Podcasts.

As expected, iOS 14.7.1 does not bring much news, but it comes with a very important one for owners of Apple Watch. With this release, Apple Watch can also be unlocked with Touch ID (digital fingerprint).

Even if you don't have one Apple Watch or an iPhone with Touch ID, do not avoid this update. iOS 14.7.1 and iPadOS 14.7.1 also solves a security problem that allows exploiting and corrupting memory by launching an arbitrary code. Fix memory corruption exploit.

You can update to iOS 14.7.1 / iPadOS 14.7.1 of: “Settings”→“ General ”→“Software Update”. The condition is to have a Wi-Fi connection and at least 50% of the battery charging capacity.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
