It is still unclear which security problems are being solved. Apple usually only announces this after a certain time, so that malicious parties cannot abuse the problems in the software. With iOS 18.4.1, Apple not only improves the security of your iPhone, but a big problem with CarPlay is also solved. For many users, the iPhone no longer connected to the operating system of the car.
CarPlay works (finally) again
After the release of iOS 18.4, CarPlay no longer worked properly for many users. Widgets in the operating system showed no more information in that case. This mainly concerns the widget that shows which media is being played in the car. There you normally see which number you are listening, but this information no longer appeared due to problems in iOS 18.4. This bug is solved with iOS 18.4.1.
In addition, various users had connection problems with CarPlay since the release of iOS 18.4. The iPhone no longer connected by car, making CarPlay unusable. It was mainly about problems with a wireless connection with CarPlay in Honda, Mazda, Audi, Ford and Volkswagen cars. Do you have a car from one of these brands? Install iOS 18.4.1 then quickly, so that you can use CarPlay again without any problems.
