Today, Apple released updates for all its systems on its various devices. The previous iOS 16.4 update was a big update, but it seems that Apple is not satisfied with some of its problems, which requires an immediate update. The new update mainly focuses on minor fixes. The release notes indicate that it addresses some errors in the system, such as the lack of skin color options for the new “push hands” emoji (🫸), and also another problem that was preventing Siri from responding in some cases.

We believe that Apple has issued this update so as not to be accused of racism by not showing skin colors for emoji, or perhaps the problem of not responding to Siri is really annoying, let us know in the comments if you notice anything new and if it solves a problem you had
