Tech Bytes: Apple prepares emergency iOS update for security reasons

Apple is urging users to update new Apple devices due to a security risk. Meta plans to increase the quality of their Messenger app with new features. Uber adds the XXL option for even more trunk space.

Apple has released an emergency update to protect your devices. It’s a fix for two major security vulnerabilities that Apple says hackers have already exploited. Apple urges iPhone and iPad users to install iOS 18.1.1. Mac users are also urged to update their systems.

Meta is improving the quality of its Messenger app, hoping to catch up with competitors. It adds new features like HD video calling, noise suppression and AI backgrounds. Meta also says that users will be able to leave voice or video messages.

Uber’s new extra, extra large option is here. Its XXL Travel offers extra space in the trunk for large suitcases. For those airport trips, the service is rolling out to 40 North American airports, including those serving New York, LAX, Chicago and Atlanta.
