iOS 18.3.2 patches a flaw being used in "extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals on versions of iOS before iOS 17.2.”
No iOS 17 update which is weird…https://t.co/A2VpcUt53N

As Apple prepares for the next big wave of software releases, today’s smaller updates focus on fixing current security and bug issues. However, no details have been released on the specific security issues addressed in this update. Alongside the debut of macOS Sequoia 15.3.2, Apple has also released iOS 18.3.2 for iPhones and iPads.
The latest iOS update isn’t too big, but it brings a few things of note.

Apple is poised to issue iOS 18.3.2, a mystery new iPhone update coming ahead of iOS 18.4. What's in the upgrade and when will it arrive?https://t.co/qP9o1dhRd5

First, it adds a supplemental patch for a WebKit exploit initially fixed in iOS 17.2. The bug allowed a website designed for iOS to break out of the Web Content sandbox and wreak havoc on devices.
Second, the update is turning Apple Intelligence back on by default. Users who don’t want to use it will have to go back into the settings and disable it again. This is a minor annoyance that iPhone and iPad owners will likely have to get used to with every update, as users reported the same thing occurring after updating to iOS 18.3.1.
Other than that, iOS 18.3.2 is a pretty simple update.
