Apple recently released iOS 15.2, which includes several new features and improvements. However, some bugs have surfaced again, as Apple has now released the additional update iOS 15.2.1 and iPadOS 15.2.1. The update therefore contains no new features, but installing it is recommended. The new build number is 19C63, instead of 19C57 from iOS 15.2.
iOS 15.2.1 available
iOS 15.2.1 is a minor update in which Apple only fixes some problems and presumably improves security. Apple regularly releases these updates, separate from the larger updates that contain new features. Although there is nothing new, it is still important to download the latest update as soon as possible. This ensures that you are safe and that the latest security measures are on your device.
These are the release notes for iOS 15.2.1:
