JAKARTA Apple has launched its newest Operational System (OS) on Monday, November 3 to a number of compatible devices. Some of the newly launched OS are iOS 26.1 and iPadOS 26.1.

This update does not include a big feature, but focuses on security. The company launched at least improvements to 50 serious issues in various aspects. The full release note has been published.

This security list includes critical issues in various Apple core services and applications. Improved vulnerabilities are found in key features such as Apple Accounts, Photos, Safari, and even internal operating system modules.

One of the fixes is a problem that causes the Stolen Device Protection feature to be disabled accidentally. In addition, Apple is also overcoming bugs in WebKit that have the potential to monitor keystrokes without permission from users.

This vulnerability has been overcome with improved checks. Some of the built-in fixes also focus on privacy issues that allow malicious apps to take sensitive information screenshots in embedded views.

Permit problems and sandbox vulnerabilities that allow apps to exit their security limits are also addressed. Another problem that is corrected is an application that can identify any apps that have been installed by users.

Apple is also addressing problems with Mobile File Integrity that allow apps to access protected user data. This improvement is made by increasing symlink validation to strengthen data protection.

Another vulnerability that is overcome is the problem with Apple's Neural Engine and Kernel, where apps can cause unexpected system cessation or kernel memory damage. These improvements are made through better memory handling.
