Apple Releases iOS 17.1 and iPadOS 17.1 With AirDrop Over Internet, Music Favorites Options and More

[Hedkandi]

Hopefully fixes the Safari memory leak issue on the iPad Air 4. It's been a nightmare to use.

My NFC antenna has been borked. I can't add cards and I know FaceID is working because it allows me to register a face, but not add cards saying "Apple Pay is unavailable"

:-( That's really odd.

On my iPhone XR with 16.7.1, I see options for both 16.7.2 update and upgrade to 17.1

Can you choose the Sonos Roam instead?

Have they fixed the alarm bug which keeps playing the alarm on iPhone once you have already stopped on the Watch? I guess I will find out tomorrow morning

Is it just me or the keyboard is really snappier? Both in my 2 devices, iPhone 12 and 15pro max.

It is. On my 13 Pro before it felt good with iOS 17.
On the new 15 Pro it felt pretty bad with iOS 17.0(.3). With 17.1 it’s definitely better, also in battery saving mode.
It’s still not perfect but it’s good now.

Downloading as we speak. I hope this fixes my issue with all my photos and links missing in messages.

I can

Still no markup magnifier in Photos :/

iOS 17.1 broke the MagSafe animation on my iPhone 15 pro and Belkin MagSafe charger. iOS 17 is the absolute worst 🙄😒

And, unless I am crazy, you can now use the volume controls on the iPad or a keyboard to control volume while connected to a display.

17.1 didn’t fix the Siri timer glitch where you can’t set your own timer tone.

 

[brilliantthings]

I can

This has taken a ridiculously long time to be fixed, but it’s a real relief. You can now Airplay to external speakers when iPad is connected to an external display

I think my favourite update so far is support for bank accounts in Wallet - this is a game changer seeing all my bank account balances and transactions in the one App. A really useful and welcomed update.

17.1 didn’t fox the timer glitch where you can’t set your own timer tone.

Works for me

 

[auriconis]

No mention of the reported fixes for iMessage indexing issues. :/

This has been so annoying. Can anyone confirm if it's working or not?

Alright so im trying out this new favorited feature on apple music. It looks like it just adds it to your library and not a playlist? Am I missing something? otherwise this feature is literally useless.

My issue with this feature is one of the artists I like has multiple version of an album. So If I use the radio shuffle function on her Artist Page it'll shuffle, cool. But if by some small chance it lands on one of those multiple versions of one album. I have already favorited one if not all of those songs on one of those multiple versions, so now if I favorite a song it'll add that song to my library. Even if I have another version. This can cause an issue for me. Not sure they really thought this through in the case of an artist having 4 different versions of 1 album. Now I have to subconsciously remember I already favorited it previously, this is going to give me anxiety. I'd rather they throw favorited tracks into a playlist then into my library. LOL

 

[itsmemuffins]

Works for me

When you get Siri to set the timer?

 

[JosephAW]

Updated my iPhone 14 Pro to iOS 16.7.2. Nice. Still shows beta for iOS 16. Maybe more updates.
Is this the longest Apple kept supporting previous iOS versions for updatable devices?

 

[CarAnalogy]

Same build as RC (for XS to 14PM)
iPhone 15 series is a newer build (21B80).

I love the way they did the public betas. This is one of the things I forgot I missed from Android. Easy hop on/hop off of betas which are often the same as the final release by RC.

No, you’ve got it right. I disagree about it being “useless” even though it’s not exactly what I’d like either. At least it brings the favoriting function up front now instead of having it buried in a menu. I’ll call that progress…but just barely.

thats fair. its certainly a step in the right direction!

yeah i think most people would have to agree with this. Like I was checking for this software update hourly since yesterday because i was super excited. Only to be disappointed. I like that AM focuses on your library, but the issue i have is when you add something to the library and delete it it is deleted off all my playlists. I mean I would be fine with it going to library so I can remember to add it to a playlist later, but the current method just doesnt make sense to me.

How is the battery life so far?
