(http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2015/06/ios_9_icon.jpg)Apple today released iOS 9.2 to the public, marking the second major update to the iOS 9 operating system (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/16/apple-releases-ios-9/) since its September launch. Prior to being released, iOS 9.2 was in testing since late October (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/10/27/ios-9-2-beta-1/) after being seeded to developers and public beta testers one week after the launch of iOS 9.1 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/10/21/apple-releases-ios-9-1/). Today's iOS 9.2 release is available as an over-the-air update to all iOS 9 users. Though it is the second major update, iOS 9.2 is actually the fourth update to iOS 9 in total, following the launches of iOS 9.0.1 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/23/apple-releases-ios-9-0-1/), iOS 9.0.2 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/30/apple-releases-ios-9-0-2/), and iOS 9.1 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/10/21/apple-releases-ios-9-1). Xcode 7.2 is also available today. iOS 9.2 includes a huge list of bug fixes, which we've outlined below. This update contains improvements and bug fixes including:Beyond bug fixes, iOS 9.2's biggest change is a tweak to the way the Safari View Controller works within third-party apps. The Safari View controller is what allows a pop-up Safari window to be used within third-party apps, and with iOS 9.2, the Safari View Controller supports third-party Action Extensions, letting apps like 1Password to be accessed in the Safari view of other apps like Tweetbot. <img src="(http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2015/10/safariviewcontroller.jpg)" alt="safariviewcontroller" width="800" height="707" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-470678" /><center>In the Hipchat app for iOS, clicking a link brings up an in-app browser.
