Apple Issues Fix for iOS Links Glitch
How to make sure your iPhone is up to date.
— -- Good news for iPhone users who haven't been able to open links after updating their devices to the latest iOS: Apple has issued a fix.
The iOS 9.3.1 software update "fixes an issue that caused apps to be unresponsive after tapping on links in Safari and other apps," according to the update.
The issue appeared to stem from the Universal Links feature introduced in iOS 9, according to reports. Universal links allow a mobile users to click a link and be directed to the relevant app they have on their device instead of being taken to the Web-based page.
To get the update, go to general, settings and software update to make sure you're up to date.
Released last week, Apple's iOS 9.3 comes packed with updates -- including a feature called Night Shift. Using a device's clock and geolocation, Night Shift will gradually shift the colors in a user's display to the warmer end of the spectrum as bedtime approaches -- which may help promote better sleep in some users, according to Apple.
Another standout feature: Apple is now making it even more secure by giving users the option to add a password or TouchID access to the Notes app. The app will also allow people to sort their notes by date created, date modified or alphabetically, providing another layer of organization.
