Got an i-Phone? You may need this security update

About the security content of iOS 16.6.1 and iPadOS 16.6.1 - Apple Support

I am not giving any advice, merely passing on information on a kind of “service announcement” basis.

“To install the iOS 16.6.1 update, open Settings on your iPhone, then select “General” followed by “Software Update.” You should see the iOS 16.6.1 software update there; tap to begin the installation.”

If you don’t see the update, go back to the General page, then tap “About” to check your iOS version number. If it’s 16.6.1, you already have the update installed.

If your phone is still using 16.6 or an earlier version, repeat the above steps. If you still don’t see an update, try restarting your phone. If that doesn’t make the update appear, double-check your internet connection and then wait a bit before trying again.”
