After a serious bug in iOS 18 recently cost iPhone users their chat histories https://www.notebookcheck.net/Serious-bug-in-iOS-18-costs-users-their-message- histories.891344.0.htmla new bug causes iPhones and iPads to read stored passwords aloud. This issue occurred in connection with the VoiceOver feature, which serves as an operating aid for people with visual impairments. Several Apple devices were affected, including the iPhone XS and newer models, as well as various iPads, such as the iPad Pro and iPad Air.

The problem is caused by a bug in the password app, which was introduced along with many other innovations with iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. The app consolidates all saved passwords in one place, allowing users to manage their login credentials efficiently and securely.

Apple on October 3, iOS 18.0.1 update quickly fixed the problem by releasing iOS 18.0.1 update which fixed the problem. In addition, another vulnerability that allowed audio recordings to be made without enabling the microphone display on the new iPhone 16 models has also been eliminated.

On Reddit users are wondering whether it is worth updating to iOS 18 now or whether it is wiser to wait for the first updates, given the high risk of bugs. While software errors after launching a major firmware update are a regular part of life for many Reddit users, others tend to put off updating.
