Apple devices are considered as one of the most secured
devices in the world, however, the new update may have opened a gate for
security breach.
The company has officially released iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1 updates
which bring back shortcuts automation, share ETA, and features a
tweaked volume indicator with unique icons and it comes with a bunch of
bug fixes.
However, iPhone or iPad users don’t get too excited, as the new
update have huge flaw which allows third-party keyboards to attain “full
access” to your devices “even if you haven’t approved this access”, Forbes pointed.
According to Apple, The flaw doesn’t affect the official iOS keyboard
and also admitted that they are yet to find a solution to fix the flaw.
The company promises to fix the issue in the coming update.
The third party keyboards are hugely popular among the iOS users
because official keyboards are too limited. Interestingly, the new
iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max come with an updated
operating system, iOS 13, so there is no option available to avoid it.
The company is expected to release a minor update in coming weeks to fix the issue.
