According to Apple, the update features bug fixes that previously allowed someone to bypass the lock screen's passcode and reintroduces a Greek keyboard option for the passcode's entry.
The iOS 7.0.2 update, which is 19.5MB in size, will need the iDevice to be connected to Wi-Fi.
As Latinos Post reported, a glitch allowed users to bypass the lock screen via the Control Center of Apple's latest mobile operating system. The bypass allowed the user to access one's email, photos, social media, and more.

The latest update comes less than a week after the Cupertino-based organization launched iOS 7.0.1, however, the update was exclusive to the new iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s. The iOS 7.0.1 update for the iPhone 5s included a fix on the new fingerprint sensor. As the Wall Street Journal noted online purchases on the iPhone 5s asked for the password rather than using the fingerprint sensor.
Latinos Post reported on Sept. 17 about Apple employees testing iOS 7.0.1, iOS 7.0.2, and iOS 7.1.
"While we cannot absolutely confirm that these tests are occurring inside Apple, it seems likely based on the cities in which these operating systems are being tested," reported 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman.
The cities that have been detected to test the iOS 7 updates are located in Apple's headquarters of Cupertino, Calif. and nearby areas such as Santa Clara, San Francisco and Palo Alto, to name a few.
