Apple Releases iOS 9.3.1 With Fix For Unresponsive Links

Posted by msmash on from the squashing-bugs,-bringing-happiness dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Apple, on Thursday, rolled out a minor update to iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices. The update, dubbed iOS 9.3.1, brings with it a fix for a software glitch that caused many apps -- including Safari, and Chrome -- to freeze and crash when trying to open a link. The issue was related to Universal Link, a feature Apple first introduced with iOS 9. Many reported that some apps including Booking.com were abusing this capability, causing the Universal Link database to overload.

    Oh wait, The Linux/Android Zealots and Microsoft apologists want to make fun of those pompous Apple Fanboys.

    Never mind why 2 or 3 time a week when I do an apt-get upgrade there are new patches to apply. Because that is Linux and we get fixes to problems.
