Apple users are being urged to install the latest iOS software which fixes a security issue in both iPhones and iPad.

The tech giant released both iOS 14.4.2 and iPadOS 14.4.2 on Friday which, according to its security support website, relates to Webkit - the web browser engine used by Safari, Mail, App Store and dozens of other iOS apps.

The update aims to fix a security issue, which it describes as: “Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to universal cross-site scripting”.

“Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited,” it said.

It added that the issue had been addressed by “improved management of object lifetimes”.

The updates are available for devices including iPhone 6s and later, all iPad Pro models, iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch 7th generation.

“Keeping your software up to date is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your Apple product’s security,” Apple said.

To update a device, go to Settings > General > Software Update and follow the directions to download and install.
