The iOS 12.5.1 update can be downloaded to all eligible devices over-the-air in the Settings app. To access the new software, just go to Settings> General> Software Update.

About a month after the release of iOS 12.5 , Apple releases iOS 12.5.1 for older iPhone and iPad models.

The company rolled out iOS 12.5 for older devices last month, introducing support for COVID-19 exposure notifications . This was a major change as it expands contact tracking to iPhones that don’t support iOS 14.

According to the changelog, today’s update fixes a bug that could cause the exposure notification registration profile language to display incorrectly.

iOS 12.5.1 is available for the following devices:

  • iPad Air
  • iPad mini 2
  • iPad mini 3
  • iPhone 5s
  • iPhone 6
  • iPhone 6 Plus
  • iPod touch 6th generation
