Apple today released iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2, which is the second major update of the iOS and iPadOS 15 operating systems released in September 2021. iOS 15.2 was released more than a month after iOS 15.1 was released.
Updates to iOS and iPadOS 15.2 can be downloaded for free, and all eligible devices can obtain the software wirelessly in the settings application.
To install the new version of the system, please go to Settings>General>Software Update. The update may take some time to roll out to all users.
iOS 15.2 adds application privacy reports. This feature is designed to let you know how often applications access camera and microphone information restricted by permissions.
In addition, it lets you know the domain name that the application and website are contacting, so you can follow what’s happening behind the scenes.
The update also supports communication security and Apple Music Voice packages for devices owned by children.
In addition, it also introduced the concept of contacts for managing data after death, and added improvements in finding and hiding my email.
Apple’s full release notes on the iOS 15.2 update are as follows:
