Apple has rushed out a pair of updates for iPhones and iPads that fix certain security flaws, including a Safari bug that lets websites you requested see your browsing history and other personal data.
Both iOS 15.3 and iPadOS 15.3 fix the Safari deliver, as detailed by 9to5Mac, as well as several latest vulnerabilities within ColorSync, iCloud and other software as detailed on Apple’s wait on page. Don’t expect any new features, as these software updates just patch a handful of original issues.

Similarly, iPadOS 15.3 is free and compatible with these tablets and newer: the iPad (5th generation), iPad Pro (all models), iPad Mini 4 and iPad Air 2.
