Apple on Wednesday issued yet another maintenance and security update for its newly released iOS 9 mobile operating system, marking the second bug squashing for the platform in the past week.
iOS 9.0.2 is now available to download for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The update is available over the air through the iOS Settings application, or via iTunes on a Mac or PC.
According to Apple, iOS 9.0.2 addresses the following issues:
- Fixes an issue with the setting to turn on or off app cellular data usage
- Resolves an issue that prevented iMessage activation for some users
- Resolves an issue where an iCloud backup could be interrupted after starting a manual backup
- Fixes an issue where the screen could incorrectly rotate when receiving notifications
- Improves the stability of Podcasts
iOS 9.0.2 arrives one week after iOS 9.0.1 was released to the public. Like that build, there was no beta of iOS 9.0.2 issued to developers.
While iOS 9.0.2 is a relatively minor update, Apple is expected to introduce more significant fixes, and potentially new features, with iOS 9.1. A third beta of that upcoming software update was released to developers on Wednesday.
Apple will also release OS X 10.11 El Capitan, its next-generation Mac operating system, later in the day.

I just want the ?Music UI and bugs fixed and the News app to feel more complete. Having to visit an articles website for the full story kills the whole point of the app.
This fixes the lock screen security flaw as well.
Downloading now. It's 72.5 mb on the 6s Plus OTA.

That's not up to Apple. Those articles that require you to follow through to the site are just RSS blurbs. It's up to the site developer to push the entire article out.
Back on topic...
I just got around upgrading to 9.0.1 not more than an hour ago!
10.11 must be on its way out the "door"... just received an update for Safari 9.0 as well.
I've been having some serious bugs with Apple Music the past few days. I can't get any music to play over cellular and some songs in playlists are grayed out. Sometimes I'll get a popup that says the request timed out or the song cannot be downloaded (downloaded from/to where?!?) and today after I subscribed I got a popup several times asking me to subscribe again only to get another popup saying I was already a subscriber. I seriously sometimes shake my head thinking I can't believe this piece of software came from Apple. If Spotify had an Apple Watch app and playlists could be synced to the Watch I would be cancelling Apple Music in an instant. Spotify may not be perfect but I never had basic issues and some of the crap I'm experiencing with Apple Music. Get it together Apple.
