Experts have warned popular iOS productivity app was flawed in a way that allowed threat actors to steal sensitive data from the vulnerable device.

The app in question is called Apple Shortcuts, and it acts as a nifty little time-saving widget that allows apps to interact with one another on specific tasks and thus generate useful actions, such as using it to determine the user’s location, calculate how much time it would take to get home, and send that information via SMS, to a contact. 

Apple released iOS 17.3 to the general public on Jan. 22, more than a month after the company released iOS 17.2. The latest update brings a few new features, like Stolen Device Protection, as well as some important bug fixes to your iPhone.

When Apple released iOS 17 on Sept. 18, it introduced a lot of new features and improvements to your iPhone, like Live Stickers and offline maps. One of the more helpful new features Apple introduced in iOS 17 is the ability to share AirTags with up to five people.
