Apple fixes Siri passcode bypass flaw and Night Shift + Low Power Mode trick

If you ask Siri to “Search Twitter” while at the Lock screen, you’ll now receive a response that says “you’ll need to unlock your iPhone first.” Previously, Siri would simply ask what the user would like to search for. The fix, which was apparently implemented sometime today, prevents handlers from accessing sensitive photos or contact information without first entering their passcode.

It also seems that Apple has fixed another bug, one much less nefarious, which let you activate Night Shift Mode while Low Power Mode is enabled. That trick, too, relied on Siri. Now, when you ask Siri to enable Night Shift while Low Power Mode is enabled, you’re met with a response that says: “In order to turn on Night Shift, I’ll have to turn off Low Power Mode. Shall I continue?”
