available that would fix the bug. Has anybody else had that issue, or is
there a setting that I have missed. If it is a setting, which one?

updates can take a few days to appear for everyone, or you can request
it at any time.

Maybe you now need to subscribe to the Apple security notices?

what version does your 8+ currently have? you may be up to date already.

as i said, it sometimes may take a few days for it to check on its own.
11.2 was released over the weekend so it may not have checked yet, but
if you prefer, just manually request it.

The iPhone is a tool. I don’t want to have to check for updates every
minute. When there is a fix for a known bug, the user should be notified.
That is what they used to do

I called support and was advised to bring in the phone, which I cannot do.
I’ve been poked around and found there was an update, which I installed and
the problem was fixed. My question is has Apple changed it’s policy? Or was
this just because they were In a rush to get the update out. The problem
was a serious one. I had no access to my contact list and could not use the
phone except with Siri or Bluetooth.

I don¹t want to have to check for updates every

nobody said you did.

they are.

That is what they used to do

no need.

I¹ve been poked around and found there was an update, which I installed and

which is exactly what i said to do.

My question is has Apple changed it¹s policy?

no.

Or was
this just because they were In a rush to get the update out.

no.

there are nearly 1 billion ios users, which means the update is not
pushed to everyone at the exact same time. it's staggered over about a
week or so.

as i said before and will say again because you *still* don't get it,
it may take a few days for everyone to see the update, however, you can
check at any time and will get the latest currently available.

microsoft does the same thing, but over an even longer period of time.
creators update was *still* being rolled out this past fall, some six
*months* after its initial rollout, right around the time fall creators
update appeared.

The problem
was a serious one. I had no access to my contact list and could not use the
phone except with Siri or Bluetooth.

that's it?
