After weeks and weeks of beta testing, iOS 11.1 is finally ready for public consumption.
iOS 11.1 is now available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod. Specifically, Apple is pushing it to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone SE, and iPhone 5s. It’s also available to the iPad mini 2, 3, and 4; iPad 5th generation; iPad Air and iPad Air 2; and all iPad Pro models. It’s available to the iPod touch 6th generation, too.
The big draw of iOS 11.1 is new emoji. Apple says that there are more than 70 new emoji included with this update, and it previewed some of them earlier this month. There’s a face with a monocle, a shush face, a vampire, a giraffe, a pie, broccoli, and many more.
Also included with this update are bug fixes and improvements.
To get iOS 11.1, grab your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and go into Settings > General > Software Update.
Apple also released watchOS 4.1 for the Apple Watch today. The big new feature here is support for streaming Apple Music directly on Apple Watch Series 3 models with LTE connectivity. Also included are the new emoji found in iOS 11.1 and miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements.
