There is a new type of update called Rapid Security Responses, this type of update was provided by Apple so that you do not have to update the system completely when there is a security breach, and Apple has provided the ability to disable, uninstall or delete one of these security updates, and this feature is available Just on update iOS 16 and later, as well as iPadOS 16.1 and later.

What are rapid security responses?

Rapid Security Responses fix critical iOS vulnerabilities, as quickly as possible. Attackable system files, issues with Safari and WebKit, and vulnerable accessories like AirPods can be patched.

Once these updates are available, Apple pushes them to your device immediately, and the iPhone will automatically download and install them. You can also go to Settings -> General -> Software Update to manually download and install the security update if it doesn't happen automatically.

These software updates are mainly used to fix issues that require immediate intervention, but they can come with problems of their own. That's because rapid updates are quickly developed and sent out as quick intervention to solve serious problems. Then it can be further improved in the next minor update, but if you are having problems before then you can remove these updates.

Uninstall Rapid Security Response updates

Quick security responses are enabled on the iPhone by default, and you can check if they are enabled through Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Automatic Updates -> Security Responses & System Files.

If you'd rather risk potential performance issues, you can disable it to prevent any automatic installations of security updates in the future.

And if you make it on but have problems after installing the Quick Security Update, you can remove it from the iPhone and wait for any improvements in the next iOS sub-update.

To remove the express security update, go to Settings -> General -> About -> iOS Version, then tap “Remove Security Response” under the base iOS version information. Then, press "Remove" in the prompt to confirm that you want to erase the update from your iPhone.

The iPhone will remove the update, and you will have to restart it to complete the removal process.

So far, Apple has not had to use the security updates feature, but it has tested it with several beta versions. Now you know all about these updates, how to install them and how to remove them. Do you think this feature is a good solution, so that Apple does not have to release a new update with the discovery of a security vulnerability?
