Apple released iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2 on Monday, June 29, with security fixes for supported iPhones and iPads, according to Apple Support.
The update applies to iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later.
Apple said the update includes security fixes that were first made available in the iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6 betas.
The listed fixes cover issues in several parts of the operating system, including Kernel, WebKit, WebRTC, Web Extensions, WebKit Canvas, WebKit Storage, IOGPUFamily, and libxslt.
Several WebKit fixes involve malicious web content. Apple said those issues could lead to Safari crashes, unexpected process crashes, memory corruption, disclosure of sensitive user information, or cross-origin data exposure.
WebKit is the browser engine used by Safari and other web-based functions on Apple devices.
The Kernel fixes address issues that could allow an app to cause unexpected system termination, write kernel memory, leak sensitive kernel state, or corrupt kernel memory, according to Apple.
Another listed issue involved WebKit Storage, where a malicious website could silently hijack clipboard data. Apple said that issue was addressed through improved state management.
Apple also listed fixes tied to malicious web extensions, graphics processing, and WebRTC, which is used for real-time communication features.
The company says it does not disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are available.
Users can check for the update by going to Settings, General, and Software Update on eligible iPhones and iPads.
