With this, iPhone users are now getting an important security update for the latest iOS 16. It also fixed the bugs for iMessage, Facetime activation issues and camera zoom jitter.

So what is new in the latest update?

The new operating system update includes some security updates, improved compatibility with wireless carriers and improvements to crash detection in the iPhone 14 lineup.

It is reported that with Crash Detection, the iPhone 14 lineup can automatically make an emergency service call when the phone detects a car crash.

How Apple’s Crash Detection works?

According to 9to5Mac, a month ago, a small number of users complained that the feature was erroneously called the when they were on a roller coaster. The company explained that the feature uses G-force sensors combined with other data to detect a crash, acknowledging that G-force on a roller coaster could fool the system.
