Apple releases iOS 9.3.1 for iPhone and iPad, addresses crashing bugs when tapping links

 The problem I find with many updates (for Iphones or androids) is often they crash your phone and you have to go to your service provider. Sometimes, they have to give you a new phone even and that is a lot of hassle I find. So, I seldom will update because so many updates crash your phone so you can't even use them at all (or it changes the way your phone works so greatly that you cannot even figure out how to operate it again for a few days). I wish the updates were consistently good but they are often buggy or not useful to me at all. So, even if they are useful security wise or to Apple they are not useful to you and me at all. this is what I have found.

Though this is less of a problem with a computer, still it is at least half the problem that it is for smartphones with home computers and laptops.

Apple has released iOS 9.3.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The bug fix update to iOS 9.3, released last week, contains a crucial improvement for iOS users: it addresses the widespread issue where apps (and sometimes the whole OS) would crash or hangs when tapping links.
We’ll update the post if we spot anything else notable, although the Release Notes do not suggest anything else has changed …

The 9.7 inch iPad Pro and iPhone SE ship with iOS 9.3 preinstalled, so iOS 9.3.1 will help ensure new Apple customers get a smooth experience with their new hardware. The launch of the iOS 9.3 update was by no means flawless.
In addition to the crashing bugs when opening links plaguing many users over the last week, Apple has already had to re-release new builds of the update to address activation problems with older iPhones and iPads. There was also a bricking issue for iPad 2, leading Apple to temporarily pull iOS 9.3 for that device.
