Apple posted a warning yesterday for iOS 13 users who have installed a third-party keyboard app on their device. Examples of such apps would include Google’s Gboard or the SwiftKey Keyboard app. Apple warns that it has discovered a bug in iOS 13 that will allow such apps to have full access to a user’s iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. While some third-party keyboard apps are setup to run on a standalone basis without access to the device they are installed on, the apps can request that the user grant it full access to the phone in order to provide additional features. The bug on iOS 13 will automatically grant these apps full access even if the user has not approved this request.

Apple just released iOS 13.1 yesterday, days after dropping iOS 13. The latter fixed a vulnerability that we previously told you about, one that could allow someone to access an iPhone user’s contacts even without unlocking the phone. Now, it would appear that iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users should stay away from third-party keyboard apps (and uninstall the ones they do have) until iOS 13.2 is pushed out.
