Apple released iOS 27.2.1 on Monday with security fixes addressing Messages, AirPlay, Bluetooth and other components, alongside updates for its other platforms. Its security notes describe a Messages flaw that could potentially let a remote attacker join an iMessage group chat without an invitation.

An AirPlay flaw could let an attacker within Bluetooth range bypass the limit on pairing-code attempts. Many fixes are shared across Apple platforms because their software uses common code, and Apple's individual security documents identify affected devices.
