Apple warns of serious iPhone flaw that allows hackers to control your device — and it 'may already be exploited'

A critical security update has been issued to all iPhones for a dangerous bug.

This vulnerability could give hackers complete control over your iPhone. Apple said the vulnerability may have already been exploited.

All iPhone owners are now urged to install the latest iOS update for immediate protection against attacks.

Alerts will appear on Wednesday night to protect users from dangerous hacking attacks.

Keeping your iPhone up to date is very important.

Enjoy upgrading your device with new features.

But this also means that you are installing major security updates from Apple.

According to Apple, the update fixes a number of "actively exploited" security flaws.

So it's very important to update your iPhone as soon as possible.

"This update provides important security updates and is recommended for all users," Apple said.

To do this, go to Settings > General > Software Update.

These security updates fix Apple's iPhone code or system issues.

Hackers can exploit these bugs to control some (or all) of your phone.

Therefore, Apple will regularly fix these with updates.

But not installing regular iOS updates on your iPhone leaves a hole open for hackers to use.

It's also important to make sure you're using a relatively new model.

Some very old iPhone models no longer receive iOS updates.

This makes it much more susceptible to hacking attacks, so it's worth considering upgrading as soon as possible.

For example, the iPhone 6S, iPhone 7, and first generation iPhone SE will be discontinued by Apple when the iOS 16 update is released in September.

If you have an older iPhone, it is already disconnected and you should upgrade to a newer model immediately.

Here is the full list of iOS 16 compatible devices:

iPhones not on this list will not receive iOS 16.

If you have an older iPhone, you will need to upgrade your handset to a newer device to access iOS 16.
