Apple has just released an emergency update to iOS 14.8 and iPadOS 14.8 to patch a very serious security flaw.

Question from Lilly N.: Hello, Rick. I just have a very quick question.
Do I need to install an antivirus app on my iPhone?
One friend says I do and another friend (who I tend to trust more lol) says I don’t.
I’d really like to know for sure so I can make sure my phone is protected. I just don’t want to install another app if I don’t need it.
But if I do need to install one, which one would you recommend?
Thanks for your help.

Can I change my own iPhone to speak with a British accent?
