Yeah sure, that would be a great headline.
“Apple breaks up Unicode - makes users download it in portions”
Is there a way to disable this? The emoji "suggestions" drive me nuts, but I haven't seen a toggle to turn that "feature" off.
Yes it is stupid to even list such a trivial thing in the release notes. Better to list what stuff is actually fixed. But even that is over the heads of most users. Best just to say "improvements" and provide a link.
If new emoji are added it should be announced way down at the bottom of a release nots web page not the headline item.
11.1 beta has run pretty smoothly on my 6S. And, just as importantly, the 11.0 battery issues seem to be resolved with the betas.
Yay, more emojis. Who says innovation is dead at Apple, amirite?
We don't know because Apple is unlikely to release such a feature in beta builds
It's horrible. Battery life also sucks. I feel like I'm running a beta iOS.
Same sentiments. I made a similar comment on the Beta 2 update on more emojis, like how Apple should not even bother to mention the Emojis and rather put up a changelog of that few fixes.

iOS 11.1 is far better when compared to iOS 11.0.
Yay, it's not like there are all kinds of other changes and emoji update is just one aspect of the update.
double tap the line from bottom right? even with home button we still have virtual on screen home button for reachability but its an ugly way
Clearly their beta program is not working out for Apple.
I mean sure, if you are an app developer you want to know if the next update breaks your app and so you can write a fix for it, but rolling out a Beta and blog sites reporting about all the new emoji is part of the problem with this program. It's full of vapid users trying to get access to the absolute latest Apple features before everyone else, and then failing to test or report even the most trivial of issues that are introduced with every iOS release.
If the program moved away from people just wanting to see what Apple is doing next and focused more on quality beta testing, then perhaps every major iOS rollout would stop being a complete disaster for many users.

As far as I understand it, recently, the Feedback app has been tied to the software build and not the beta profile. Good news nonetheless!
