Update: iOS 13.3.1, iPadOS 13.3.1, tvOS 13.3.1, macOS Catalina 10.15.3, and watchOS 6.1.2 are now available. iOS 12.4.5 is also now available for devices that are not capable of running iOS 13. HomePod has also been updated to version 13.3.1.
Apple today will release iOS 13.3.1 and iPadOS 13.3.1 to the public after testing it with beta users over the past several weeks. iOS 13.3.1 includes bug fixes and performance improvements related to Screen Time and the Mail app.
Apple says that iOS 13.3.1 and iPadOS 13.3.1 include a fix for Communication Limits in Screen Time. As we’ve detailed, this issue allowed any contact to be added without entering the Screen Time passcode, making it incredibly easy for anyone to circumvent the Communication Limits feature.
The update also makes several improvements to the Mail app, including fixes for image loading and undo dialogs. Apple also says there’s a fix for a bug that could cause push notifications to fail to be delivered over WiFi. iOS 13.3.1 also includes a new toggle in the Settings app that allows users to disable the U1 chip in the iPhone 11 series.
Last but not least, the update adds support for using the Indian English Siri voices with HomePod. Here are the full release notes for iOS 13.3.1:
- Fixes an issue in Communication Limits that could allow a contact to be added without entering the Screen Time passcode
