Apple iOS 15.3: Data leak in Safari fixed
A bug in Apple's WebKit can leak user data. The update to Apple iOS 15.3 fixes the gap.
Apple's description doesn't give much away. It says "bug fixes and security updates". That's all the update provides. Nevertheless, you should update your iPhone as soon as possible and not ignore the red "1" above your settings.
Most iPhone users use the default browser on their iPhone. This is Safari with the blue compass. Safari runs Apple's WebKit, which allows all apps on the iPhone and iPad to display websites. Example: If you click on a link in Instagram and a website opens in the app, WebKit was at work.
WebKit has a bug that can cause user data to leak. Namely, your Google data and your browsing habits are affected.
Therefore, a quick update and it's fixed.
