Updating to ios 11.2.5

[Tsakalos]

Hello,
i am a user of Iphone 7 Plus for 3 months now.I currently have ios 11.2.3 and i am wondering if it is worth-updating to 11.2.5 or to wait till 11.3. I don't have any problems with 11.2.3 but a slightly poorer battery life.

Every update comes with new security features and bug fixes. Usually, updating to the latest iOS version is recommended.
11.2.5 addresses the malicious ChaiOS, a text message link that can crash your device.

There’s also a bug affecting devices with iOS 11.2.5 installed, though. When you receive a message or even notification with a certain Indian character in it, the app freezes, or the devices itself crashes. It’s possible that you have to restore from a backup.

If you expect that you’ll not receive this Indian character, update to iOS 11.2.5 in order to avoid ChaiOS.
