Dan Pražák A little while ago, Apple released iOS 13.3 and iPadOS 13.3, the third primary update to iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, respectively. The new versions of the systems arrive less than a month and a half after iOS 13.2 and bring several new features and important fixes. Alongside new updates for iPhones and iPads, Apple today also released watchOS 6.1.1, tvOS 13.3 and macOS 10.15.2.
iOS 13.3 is a major update that brings several interesting new features. Once the system is installed, it is now possible to set limits for calls and messages, expanding the parental control functions of Screen Time. As a parent, you can now manage the list of contacts your child will have access to on the device. In addition to the aforementioned, iOS 13.3 allows removing Memoji stickers from the keyboard, connecting security keys via NFC, USB and Lightning FIDO2 for authentication in Safari, as well as creating a new video clip when shortening a video in the Photos application.

You can download the new iOS 13.3 and iPadOS 13.3 in Settings -> In general -> Software update. The update can be installed on devices compatible with iOS 13, i.e. iPhone 6s and all newer (including iPhone SE) and iPod touch 7th generation. The installation package is approximately 660 MB, but its size varies depending on the device and system version you are upgrading from.

Unfortunately, I can't upgrade to iOS 13.3 this morning.
Fixed an issue that caused mobile data turned on to show as off - fixed it so that when data is turned on there is a blank section instead of "on", anyway it's been like this for many versions back without a fix.
And if I turn on the data via the pull-out lower blind, the light is turned off there. So no repair actually takes place.
