Apple Seeds Second Beta of iOS 11.1 to Developers and Public Beta Testers With New Emoji

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming iOS 11.1 update to developers, nearly two weeks releasing the first iOS 11.1 beta and a few weeks after releasing the iOS 11 update to the public.

Registered developers can download the iOS 11 beta from Apple's Developer Center or over-the-air once the proper configuration profile has been installed from the Developer Center.

Apple said the second beta of iOS 11.1 introduces a range of new Unicode 10 emoji like crazy face, pie, pretzel, t-rex, vampire, exploding head, face vomiting, shushing face, love you gesture, brain, scarf, zebra, giraffe, fortune cookie, pie, hedgehog, and more.

Several emoji have also seen some small design changes in iOS 11.1, including the dolphin, octopus, bee, snail, and whale characters, among others.

A few other small features were discovered in the initial iOS 11.1 beta. The built-in keyboard in iOS 11.1 now offers up multiple emoji symbols when using an emoji-related word like "cake" or "happy," with each of the suggestions displayed at the end of the predictive text suggestions. There's also an updated camera icon under Restrictions, a new animation when tapping the status bar to scroll upwards, and a faster unlock animation.

iOS 11 marks a major update to the operating system with systemwide design tweaks, a new Lock screen experience, a revamped Control Center, ARKit, new app features, and an entirely new interface for the iPad that includes a Dock, Drag and Drop support, and a redesigned App Switcher for better than ever multitasking.

Update: Apple has also released the second beta of iOS 11.1 to public beta testers.

Correction. Apple is more excited about emojis not people.

 

[LordQ]

Things to check: New Dynamic Wallpapers, 3D Touch Multitasking, more Smart Invert integration and 3D Touch stutter fix.

I bet 90% or more of iPhone users use emoji every day, and I bet 99% or more of them would not complain about home button lag, if polled. What would you work on, if you were Apple?

Edit: I assume you understand that the same artists designing emoji would not be fixing your perceived issues.

Ios 11.1 will turn iphone 8 into X when released

I'm curious about battery life and what are the changes...

 

[Oblivious.Robot]

Any chance Apple would go on pre iOS 11 WiFi & Bluetooth - On/Off from Control Center?

 

[0003939]

Honestly Apple, can they just get their ****ing priorities right for once?

Edit: As in changelog mentioning the return of 3D multitasking can have greater impact instead of just mentioning additional emojis.

 

[Radon87000]

Is the home button delay fixed?

 

[newtestleper]

That battery-powered emoji has been a pain in the ass.

 

[DanielDD]

Is the home button delay fixed?

Who cares? New emoji

 

[dan9700]

Is the home button delay fixed?

Cause not, maybe ios 12 lol

 

[DaveOP]

Honestly Apple, can they just get their ****ing priorities right for once?

What else were the artists that worked on these emoji going to do that would better fulfill your needs?

 

[apolloa]

Wonder if this update will fix my lock screen sticking in landscape mode on my 6S?? Or will it be pointless emojis?
iOS 11 is a buggy mess!

 

[Michael Goff]

Correction. Apple is more excited about emojis not people.

No, Apple has said that people update faster when new emoji are in the update. So people care about emoji.

 

[kingpushup]

Gender neutral emojis included? Blew my mind when I read: https://www.pcmag.com/news/356658/gender-neutral-emoji-headed-to-apple-devices and now seems nice and simple - looking forward to seeing in use, who knos

 

[T-Bob]

Yeah Apple devoted their entire mobile dev team to including the emojis, no bug fix for you!

But seriously, software is never done, so when is a good time to include them? Bring them on.

 

[dan9700]

Is apple gonna actually release icloud messages like they said?
