iOS 18.3.2 is here. Everything thats new.

Apple has released update 18.3.2 for iOS and iPadOS, and it should be rolling out to compatible iPhones and iPads starting Wednesday.

The latest update isn’t too big, so let’s get right into it.

For the most part, Apple is going with the boilerplate update description. Cupertino says that the update “provides important bug fixes, security updates, and addresses an issue that may prevent playback of some streaming content.” Apple has a habit of not disclosing or discussing security issues until they’ve properly investigated and patched the issue, so whatever security updates were added are a mystery for now.

With that said, the update does bring a couple things of note. It adds a supplemental patch for a WebKit exploit that was originally fixed back in iOS 17.2. The bug allowed a specifically crafted website to break out of the Web Content sandbox and wreak havoc on devices.

The other thing of note is that the update is turning Apple Intelligence back on by default, so users who don’t want to use it will have to go back into the settings and disable it again. This is a minor annoyance but one that iPhone and iPad owners will likely have to get used to with every update as users reported the same thing occurring after updating to iOS 18.3.1.

Other than that, this is a pretty simple update. It’s still important to make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest OS to prevent any issues.

In addition to iOS 18.3.2, Apple also released updates for Safari, along with macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 for Macs, visionOS 2.3.2 for the Apple Vision Pro, and tVOS 18.3.1 for Apple TV devices.

Which iPhones and iPads are getting iOS 18.3.2?

Per Apple, the following devices should be receiving the update:

Every iPhone from the iPhone XS generation to the latest iPhone 16
iPad Pro 13-inch
iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later
iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later
iPad Air 3rd generation and later
iPad 7th generation and later
iPad mini 5th generation and later

How do I install iOS 18.3.2?

It should be the same as any other update. If you don’t want to do it manually, you should receive a notification to update your phone or iPad and you just need to start the update from there.

If you want to do it manually, hop into the Settings, then General. From there, tap Software Update and the update should appear. Tap the Update Now button to install the update. The device will reboot when it’s finished.
