Issues Addressed in the iOS 16.3.1 Update for iPhone 
Since Apple released the iOS 16.3 to the general public, some users have been facing a number of issues with the iCloud. Some users of iPhone and iPad complained of not being able to toggle-on automatic iCloud backup option. The iOS 16.3.1 fixes this issue.
Apple launched the Crash Detection feature in the iPhone 14 series last year. The feature seems to have done more harm than good. Apple’s Crash Detection feature has made several false calls to emergency services in several countries. The most common amongst them happening at ski resorts and amusement parks.
At Ski resorts for example, emergency personnels have received a lot of accidental reports from Apple’s Crash Detection feature. This has led the emergency personnels to ask Apple users to turn off the feature. They explained that each accidental call they attend to depletes the resources they use in attending to real emergency incidents. Apple says it has also fixed this issue in the iOS 16.3.1 update. Let’s wait and see how much work the Cupertino company has done to address this issue.
