Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming iOS 12.1.1 update to developers, one day after the release of iOS 12.1, a major update that brought multiple new features to the operating system that runs on the iPhone and iPad.

Registered developers can download the new iOS 12.1.1 beta from Apple's Developer Center or over-the-air once the proper configuration profile has been installed from the Developer Center.

As a 12.1.x update, the new software is minor in scale and has been released to address bugs that were not able to be fixed in the iOS 12.1 update. According to Apple's release notes, iOS 12.1.1 "contains bug fixes and improvements."

Given the non-specific information provided by Apple, we may not know exactly what issues are fixed in the beta until more specific release notes are provided, but we'll update this post if we find anything new in the update.

iOS 12.1.1 follows iOS 12.1, which was the first major update to iOS 12. iOS 12.1 introduces Group FaceTime for video chatting with up to 32 people, real-time Depth Control and eSIM support for Apple's newest iPhones, and fixes for several major bugs.

The update fixes a problem that could cause excessive skin-smoothing when using the front-facing camera on the iPhone XS, XS Max, and iPhone XR, and it addresses LTE connectivity issues on those same devices. It's also worth noting that the iOS 12.1 software introduces battery-related performance management features on the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

What's new in iOS 12.1.1: The iOS 12.1.1 update reintroduces the feature that lets you take a Live Photo while on a FaceTime call, and it makes improvements to the FaceTime user interface.

Following the update, FaceTime features a reworked bottom bar that includes quick access buttons for muting a call and flipping the camera. Sliding up on the bottom bar brings up additional options with conversation participants.

Previously, FaceTime users were required to tap on three dots to access a secondary menu with these features.

Is there a region/timezone delay on this release? On east coast and the update and developer portal update were not available until about 1:13 PM EST.
 
Hopefully this will fix the Lockscreen Passcode Bypass vulnerability that was announced yesterday within hours of release of 12.1.

I pay a lot of attention to "snappiness" of each update. 12.1 was a slight step back, where 12.1.1 returns it to the level of some of the 12.1 betas. It's minor, but I do notice it.

This is on an X.
 
We need haptic touch enabled in the notification center for the XR stat :(
 
"FaceTime features a reworked bottom bar that includes quick access buttons for muting a call and flipping the camera."

Yes! On my 6S I found it really hard to swipe the controls away after I'd finally managed to flip the camera.

For the love of God, please give us an update that fixes the warm display tint issue on XS and XS Max.

I hate warm screens as well, but I'm surprised that its not widely known that this can be changed in the settings.

Go To:
Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Display Accommodations -> Color Filters

Turn on "Color Filters"
Select "Color Tint"

Mess with the "Hue" slider until you get the desired look.

Here's a shot of my settings.

I find FaceTime really hard to use now. The current (haven’t seen this new update yet) interface makes it super confusing... say I add a Memoji while I’m chatting; it’s really not clear how to get back to the main video screen. There huge red X bottom middle? No, I’ve ended calls several times because of that. Hope they sort it out and get it back to being simple and intuitive!!

It’s really annoying what they did. But I got used to it...I don’t like to go to another page to flip my camera.
