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

[Xaositek]

They fixed the Reachability bug on the home screen where the icons overlapped the dock.

How on earth are they supposed to do that? Please. I'm asking because I don't know how you're supposed to convey that message in a tiny picture where the length of hair seems to be the difference between a boy and a girl.

Gender neutral emojis included?

Wish there was a filter to hide posts containing the word 'emoji'...

Every time MR mentions the word “emoji” in one of it’s articles, we should hook up the electrical grid to the comments section. Energy shortage resolved.

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.

Not perceived. Enjoy the emojis, though!

Emoji = Meh.

3D Touch App switcher returning is a huge win for me! Nice to see Apple responding to complaints.

Thanks, Pal! I don't have this issue on my 8+, seems exactly the same as the SE I have on 10.3.3.

Is apple gonna actually release icloud messages like they said?

They've removed it from their iOS11 site (Apple Pay Cash is still there). Surprised MacRumors haven't reported on this. Or at least asked Apple for comment.

Something tells me that's coming after iPhone X is released.. like 11.2 or 11.3 very latest it will be touted as a new feature in IOS 12. But yes, I too would like that back.

 

[FrankTheAwesome]

I hope they fix the battery problems on iP7, but seeing how Apple is working now, we will get a battery drain emoji instead...

Apple does listen but the company is so stealth about it nobody knows they do.

 

[TMRJIJ]

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

Yes, because all those thousands of engineers and designers are all focused on updating Emojis with the Unicode Standard. /s

 

[iPhone1]

is 3D touch app switcher back?

Yes.

 

[Danbrown521]

is 3D touch app switcher back?

Yep

 

[ronno]

Is the speech to text lag fixed?
When I press the little mic button, a second passes before the phone mic comes on to do the translation. VERY annoying and never had this delay with iOS 8.
This happens on both my 7 and 7 Plus.

Did they though? I'm sure they didn't just add an undervalued feature back based solely on a few email complaints.

Gender neutral emojis, ikr blew my mind too until I saw: https://www.pcmag.com/news/356658/gender-neutral-emoji-headed-to-apple-devices seems simple and nice once i had a look tho

It appears they did.

LOL at all the excuses for Apple and their piss poor optimization. apparently the "Fastest phone on the planet" still can't handle 3D touching apps without dropping frames. It can't handle going from portrait to landscape mode without glitches. It cant handle keeping the text INSIDE the notification bubble on the lock screen. It can't handle having good battery life. It can't handle scrolling at a steady 60fps. It can handle new emojis though.

 

[BWhaler]

Let’s hope this is a massive big fix.

Especially the TV app. It’s basically unusable.

 

[fokmik]

so 3d TOUCH is back !! but i wonder if in this beta can we find if some reachability for iphone x is in testing ?

 

[iLoveiTunes]

I seriously hope it fixes the 11.1 battery drain in my 7plus from the beta1

 

[Four oF NINE]

Is the home button delay fixed?

What is the home button delay?

 

[Danbrown521]

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

Nope still just disconnects from current wifi connected to.

During beta, Apple said it's coming in a later iOS 11.1 update. Probably not this one, though, so it seems to make sense to remove the mention temporarily if it's not going to be able to be implemented for awhile.
