Apple’s iOS 16.0.2 Update Offers Fixes For Some Annoying iPhone Problems
Afew early bugs are nothing new when it come to major software updates, like Apple’s new iOS 16, but it doesn’t make them any less annoying. Thankfully, the tech company heard the complaints about iPhone 14 Pro cameras acting up and a laborious copy-and-paste process — and it addressed the issues in its Sept. 22 software update. Make sure you download Apple’s iOS 16.0.2 update to ensure you’re rocking with the latest version that includes fixes for some pretty frustrating iPhone problems.
Once of the most fun features in iOS 16 is the ability to lift subjects from your photos to essentially create stickers of your friends, family, and pets. The photo cutout tool hinges on your ability to copy and paste, something that has been increasingly tedious following the iOS 16 update on Sept. 12. With the initial update, Apple would ask you if you want to allow your phone to paste whatever image or words you copied. And you would get the pop-up on your iPhone every time you tried to copy and past something (sometimes more than once for a single paste). It didn’t prevent you from eventually pasting, but it sure was annoying.
There didn’t seem to be a fix in Settings or anywhere else. Enter iOS 16.0.2. Apple launched this update — the second bug fix to the major iOS 16 update — on Sept. 22, and once you download it, you should be set to copy and paste without constant inquiries on your screen.
According to Apple’s iOS 16.0.2 update notes, the software update is meant to address its version of 20 Questions: “This update provides bug fixes and important security updates for your iPhone including... copy and paste between apps [causing] a permission prompt to appear more than expected.” I downloaded the iOS 16.0.2 update and was immediately able to copy and paste without any question from my phone about whether this should be allowed to happen.
To make your copy-and-paste sessions more seamless, go to Settings > General > Software Update. There, it’ll give you a chance to download to the iOS 16.0.2 update, and you can follow the prompts to quickly get your phone running the latest version of the software.
