If you own an Apple iPhone and use the O2 network then there’s a vital update that should be download right now. Apple has just released its latest iOS 13.3.1 upgrade and it fixes an irritating issue that some users have been facing with their mobile signal.
The glitch was first spotted earlier this month with customers owning an iPhone XR experiencing intermittent problems that have left them unable to make or receive calls, send texts or access 4G data services.
O2 confirmed the issues with a spokesperson saying: “We’re working closely with our partners to resolve an intermittent issue affecting some of our customers using iPhone XR.
“In the meantime we thank any customers affected for their patience.”
Luckily, it seems that the gremlins have now been rectified with Apple’s iOS 13.3.1 sating that it “fixes an issue where O2 customers could experience intermittent network connectivity.”
To get this update on your phone simply head to Settings > General > Software Update and then tap Download and Install.
