Apple pushed

iOS 16.3.1 and iPadOS 16.3.1 to users on Monday with bug fixes and performance improvements. For example, the iOS 16.3.1 release contains bug fixes and performance improvements, including a fix for iCloud settings.

After a period of server-side issues, updates for tvOS 16.3.2 and HomePod 16.3.2 are also out, and both fix a problem with Siri. Some users had reported that asking Siri for smart home requests sometimes failed.

Both updates also contain general performance and stability improvements.

The tvOS build is 20K672.

Monday's update arrives after Apple updated tvOS and the HomePod software to version 16.3.1 on February 6. The update notes also mentioned fixes to stability and performance.

Each device will eventually receive the updates automatically, but users can manually install them on an Apple TV via the Settings app. The Home app may be used to control the HomePod software update.
