Apple recently unveiled the update on its support page – along with a list of key updates we have to look forward to.
The update – known as iOS 13.2.3 – should solve a fault that has been blocking the system search and search features within the default Mail, Files and Notes apps.
As far as Mail is concerned, the update should also kill off a bug that has been preventing the email app from retrieving new messages and failing to include and quote original message content for Microsoft Exchange addresses.
The update should also fix an issue that has been preventing photos, links and other attachments from appearing in the details view in the Messages app and one that prevents apps from downloading content in the background when you don’t have the app open.
If you’ve encountered any of these issues yourself, go to Settings > General > Software Update, and install iOS version 13.2.3.
iOS 13 was first announced at WWDC in June but the final version wasn’t unveiled until the iPhone launch in September.
