Release notes

Overview

Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.

iOS 12.3.1 was a focused maintenance release for VoLTE calling and two Messages behaviors involving filtered unknown senders and the Report Junk link.[1]

Apple’s security index explicitly lists the release as having no published CVE entries, so the record stays limited to the three consumer-facing fixes Apple identified.[2]
