Apple is warning users of a bug in iOS 13 and iPadOS involving third-party keyboards.In a brief advisory posted Tuesday, the tech giant said the bug impacts third-party keyboards which have the ability to request &full access& permissions.iOS 13 was released last week.
Both iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1, the new software version for iPads, are out today.Third-party keyboards can either run as standalone, or with &full access& they can talk to other apps or get internet access for additional features, like spell check.
But &full access& also allows the keyboard maker to capture to its servers keystroke data or anything you type — like emails, messages or passwords.This bug, however, may allow third-party keyboards to gain full access permissions — even if it was not approved.Apple didn''t say much more about the problem.
A spokesperson did not comment beyond the advisory.
But the advisory said that thebug doesn''t affect iOS& in-built keyboard.The bug will be fixed in an upcoming software update.iOS, iPadOS and tvOS 13.1 updates are now available
