Seems iOS 9 has a serious security problem. The fix is updating.
Here's the article.

I'm on the beta for IOS 10. I'd like to hope that security fix has been or will soon be integrated into that.

On a related note, IOS 10, especially on a device with 3D touch is pretty fantastic. Lots of little - and for some, not-so-little - accessibility improvements. Has its issues, but they get better with each beta update.

Is that why IOS9 crashes our phones? I had to take it to the Apple store, and I can't get the cover to register when I tap it.
Blessings,

I doubt any more updates are coming out for iOS 9 anytime soon. Not with the soon-to-be release of iOS 10 in about a month or so. They still might come out with a security fix down the line for the iDevices that will not be able to get iOS 10, but that will probably be after the first major release of 10.

They'd not have released this, but for the security issues I'd say.
We're using phones for so much now, people are after them all the time.

Actually IOS has many flaws that are getting worked on. To many third party apps collecting your data. It'll get taken care of when IOS security gets worked on.

Shhhh! iOS is perfect. Thought you knew that.
Get a Mac, Windows if flawed.

Oh yes I forgot. Security breaches are only for Microsoft. Hahahahaha.

Glad to hear this news about iOS 10. I'll be looking forward to updating when it becomes available to the public in September.

Me too! I'm eager to get that Fred voice, primarily because I'll like it for reading books. Maybe then I can ditch some of my other reading devices.
