Apple Will Let You Remove Rapid Security Response Updates in iOS 16Apple in
iOS 16 added a new Rapid Security Response feature that's meant to make it quicker and easier for the company to deploy security improvements to
iPhone users without a full iOS update. By default, Rapid Security Responses are installed automatically, but Apple has implemented a way to remove them.
In an
updated support document shared today, Apple says that you can remove a Rapid Security Response from your device by going to Settings > General > About, tapping the iOS version, and then tapping Remove Security Update.
Apple says you can then reinstall the Rapid Security Response at a later date, or wait for it to be installed permanently as part of a standard software update. It is not clear why a Rapid Security Response would need to be removed, but it's nice that users will have the option.

There is also a toggle for turning off automatic installation of Rapid Security Responses, which then allows them to be downloaded manually.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups:
