On March 26, Apple released a new software update on iOS 14.4.1 and iPadOS 14.4.1, just three weeks after the previous update.
This time, it is again recommended not to delay with the update, as it is about sealing security flaws on Apple phones and tablets.
According to techno site The Verge, the security flaw allows universal scripting across sites. In other words, a malicious website or script can access information from other websites you have accessed, which is not good, especially since Apple says some websites can do this.

Update now
Most often, it is no problem to postpone iOS updates for a few weeks, but according to the sites macrumors.com and theverge.com it would be best to download the latest iOS update (iOS 14.4.2) as soon as possible.
It will fix the security flaw, which Apple says may have been exploited by websites and people with unclean flour in the bag. Note that the update also applies to iPad (iPadOS).
Set aside a few minutes to download and update your phone, by going to “Settings”, “General” and “Update”, where you select “Download and install”.
Even if you do not get the phone updated right away, that does not mean that it cannot be used. However, make sure you stay away from dubious and suspicious sites, which you should take as a general piece of advice anyway.
