Apple releases iOS 15.2 - 19C56 - 80 devices are supported. The iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2 are coming less than a month after Apple seeded iOS and iPadOS 15.1.1. Accompanied with this is the release of watchOS 8.3, and tvOS 15.2.
And of course, there are some new features you are to expect, especially, the feature that adds the full “App Privacy Report” feature to the Settings application. With this, users can now see the data accessed by applications, including third-party apps and Apple apps.
As this is a public release, as usual, users can download the iOS and iPadOS 15.2 updates for free and the software by going to Settings > General > Software Update for compatible devices.
