Apple has released a new update called iOS 17.2 this week.

What's more, the release includes urgent bug fixes and security updates for your iPhone.
Here's how to install it on your device today.
iOS 17.2 was released last night, and is available now for iPhone XS and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2nd generation and later, iPad Pro 10.5-inch, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 6th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later.
To install it on your device, simply open the Settings app, then General and Software Update.
If your device is compatible, you'll see iOS 17.2 listed.
You can either choose to download it immediately or download it overnight, although you'll need to make sure your iPhone is on charge for this to happen.
The update includes several exciting new features, as well as bug fixes as security updates.
Journal
Journal is a brand-new app where users can capture and write about moments and special events in their lives.
Users can choose to upload written entries, as well as photos, videos, audio recordings or locations.
'We are excited to bring the benefits of journaling to more people,' said Bob Borchers, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.
'Journal makes it easy to preserve rich and powerful memories, and practice gratitude by intelligently curating information that is personal to the user, right from their iPhone.
'And we're making it possible for other journaling apps to offer the same personalised suggestions while maintaining the highest level of privacy.'
Action Button
It was one of the most talked-about new features in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and now the Action Button is getting an exciting update.
Users can now set the button up to quickly translate phrases during a conversation with someone in another language.
Camera
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are also receiving an upgrade to the camera system.
'Spatial video lets you capture video on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max so you can relive your memories in three dimensions on Apple Vision Pro,' Apple explained.
'Improved Telephoto camera focusing speed when capturing small, faraway objects on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.'
Messages
The messages app now features a catch-up arrow in the top-right corner, which lets you quickly jump to your first unread message in a conversation.
Meanwhile, Apple's cartoon doppelganger feature, Memoji, has been updated with the ability to adjust the body shape.
Weather
The Weather app now shows precipitation amounts, while new widgets let you choose from next-hour precipitation, daily forecast, sunrise and sunset times, and current conditions such as Air Quality, Feels Like and wind speed.
A new interactive moon calendar also lets you see which phase of the moon we're in for any day for the next month.
Improvements and bug fixes
Aside from the new features, the update also has several improvements and bug fixes.
AirDrop has been improved, allowing you to share boarding passes, cinema tickets and other eligible passes by bringing two iPhones together.
Meanwhile, Autofill has been enhanced, enabling to you to fill in names and addresses from your contacts in PDFs and other forms.
And while Apple doesn't disclose the specific bug fixes, it adds that iOS 17.2 'fixes an issue that may prevent wireless charging in certain vehicles.'
