RED ALERT Urgent Apple warning: Every iPhone user should check settings immediately
APPLE has issued an emergency update to fix serious iPhone bugs.
These bugs could be used by hackers to hijack your device.

Apple says there are two bugs that allow rogue apps to "execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges".
That means hackers could use apps to target deep parts of your iPhone.
Worse still, Apple says it's aware of reports that the issue "may have been actively exploited" by crooks.
These are "zero-day" bugs – that means the bug was out there and possibly being exploited before a fix was available.
