Apple on Thursday released iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5, the fifth major updates to the iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 operating systems. The new version comes a bit more than one month after the public release of iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4.
iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.5 can be downloaded on compatible iPhones and iPads, respectively, over the air by going to “Settings” -> “General” -> “Software Update.” You may want to wait a day or so to download the new update, as things could be slow, due to high demand.
Apple’s release notes are below.
