Apple releases a quick security response update for iOS 16.2 users

Apple today made a Rapid Security Response Update available to iOS 16.2 beta users, marking the second RSR release since the feature launched in iOS 16.

The Rapid Security Response Update is designed to provide iOS 16.2 beta users with bug fixes without having to install a full update, according to MacRamers.

iOS 16.2 beta with software update mechanism

The initial RSR release for iOS 16.2 beta users was a test with no actual bug fixes, and given the size of this update, it’s also likely a test of the RSR system.

The new iOS 16.2 Beta Security Response is available through the standard software update mechanism in the Settings app, but it’s a quick update, requiring only two minutes to download the update and then a quick reboot of the installation process.

Once the QR update is installed, iOS 16.2 users will see an updated version of “iOS 16.2 beta.” Tapping on the version in the About section of Settings will display information about the installed iOS version and the QR update.

Those wishing to disable Rapid Security Response Updates can do so by following how to do so.
