iOS 10 has already seen a public release of its update, which is the iOS 10.0.2 version update being sent to all the compatible devices that are already running the iOS 10.0.1 version. This update was quite needed because the users had reported of a few issues in the first iOS 10 update and the fixes for the same were needed.
If you have a compatible device already, you might be wondering what are the changes in the new OS update that popped up on your iOS device. Following is the guide explaining what would be the changes in the iOS 10.0.2 update and how to manually update if you don’t see the OTA update available.
iOS 10.0.2 Change Log

As far as the security changes are concerned, Apple is confident about that and thus, the content of iOS 10.0.1 for security is the same one on the newer version, though the latest issue reported by users about their iCloud passwords might now be seen fixed in another software update that we expect soon.
