In addition to iOS 16.4.1, Apple has also released macOS Ventura 13.3.1 to all users. The update includes bug fixes for emojis and the Auto Unlock feature, as well as critical security updates that address two vulnerabilities that are currently being exploited.
After launching macOS 13.3 last week with a host of new features, including improved VoiceOver support, bug fixes, and new emojis, Apple has now released a new security and bug fix update for the operating system.
According to Apple, the release of macOS Ventura 13.3.1 is a minor update to the macOS Ventura operating system that was initially released in October of last year. The update arrives approximately two weeks after the release of macOS Ventura 13.3 and includes bug fixes for issues related to emoji and the Auto Unlock feature, as well as important security updates that address two actively exploited vulnerabilities.

One of the notable fixes included in the update is for a bug that previously caused Auto Unlock with Apple Watch not to work properly. Additionally, the update addresses an issue that prevented the pushing hands emoji from displaying skin tone variations.
