Apple released iOS 17.4.1 Thursday, more than two weeks after the company released iOS 17.4. While iOS 17.4 brought new features to your iPhone, like new Stolen Device Protection options and transcripts in Podcasts, iOS 17.4.1 includes a handful of security and bug fixes for your iPhone.

Apple has not stated what issues the update addresses. Usually Apple posts an update’s release notes and CVE entries — also known as common vulnerabilities and exposures — online shortly after releasing an update. Apple hasn’t posted this information yet, but Apple has told CNET in the past that it might take time to post this information online.

CNET will update this story as more information becomes available.
