With Crash Detection, iPhone 14 models can automatically call an emergency
service when the phone detects a car crash. However, a month ago, a small
number of users complained that the feature was erroneously triggered when
they were on a roller coaster.
Apple then explained that the feature uses G-force sensors combined with
other data to detect a crash, but the company acknowledged that G-force on a
roller coaster could fool the system.
Its unclear how exactly Apple is improving Crash Detection with iOS 16.1.2,
but since the feature is based on algorithms to detect potential car
crashes, Apple is probably tweaking the system to make those algorithms more
accurate.
iOS 16.1.1,
released on November 9, it brought bug fixes and security updates. Users can
now update their devices to the latest iOS version by going to the Software
Update menu within the Settings app. Its worth noting that this update is
only for iPhone, so there is no iPadOS 16.1.2 for iPad users.
Following todays release of iOS 16.1.2, Apples next software update for
iPhone users will be iOS 16.2. This update is currently in testing with
developers and public beta users. It includes a number of new features and
changes, such as Apples new Freefrom collaboration app, updates to the Home
app, and more. Its expected to be released in mid-December.
