Released just a week ago, iOS 13.6.1 and iPadOS 13.6.1 are nothing more than bug fix updates. If you are looking for new features, you won’t find them here.

Since you cannot jailbreak iOS 13.6 and iPadOS 13.6, therefore this news should not bother you one bit. In fact, I would suggest updating your devices to iOS 13.6.1 and iPadOS 13.6.1 to ensure smooth day to day functionality.

Please, do not attempt to downgrade your device to the older firmware. You will only be wasting your time if you do so. Once Apple stops signing any firmware, it means your chances of downgrading are long gone.

You can either perform a clean install of the firmware or just download it over the air, the choice is entirely yours.
