What’s New In iOS 11.1? Dozens Of New Emojis, 3D Touch Fix

Apple released iOS 11.1 on Tuesday, which includes dozens of new emoji, updates to Photos and other improvements. However, the new update lacked the Apple Pay improvements the company has previously revealed, like the payment-to-payment feature.

iOS 11.1, which works with iPhones and iPads, includes the emoji Apple teased earlier this month and other bug fixes and improvements. To download the update, users can go to Settings >General > Software Update.

Here’s what’s new:

New Emoji

Apple released more than 70 new emoji including more emotive smiley faces. The company had previously teased: gender-neutral characters, clothing options, new foods, animals, mythical creatures, woman with a headscarf, a bearded person, a woman breastfeeding, a zombie, a person in lotus position, a genie, the I love you hand sign emoji, a fairy, mermaid, wizard, vampire, broccoli, red scarf, blue dinosaur, a pie, a “shh” face, crazy face, a mind-blown emoji, a person rock climbing and a new cursing face emoticon.

Photos Update

iOS 11.1 fixed a problem with the Photos app that caused some images to appear blurry, as well as an issue that caused a lagged playback on Live Photo, Apple said. The update also fixed a problem that caused some photos to not display in the People album when restoring from an iCloud backup, as well as another problem that happens when users swipe between screenshots.

3D Touch

The new update also brings back the 3D Touch App Switcher gesture, which allows users to for access the app switcher by pressing on the left edge of the display. The feature works on the iPhone 6s and later.

More Fixes And Improvements With iOS 11.1

The new update also fixed a problem that caused Mail notification to reappear on the lock screen after they had been cleared, as well a problem where app icons were not appearing in notifications on the Apple Watch, and other issues.

Apple also listed the following improvements and fixes with iOS 11.1:

Does Not Include Apple Pay Improvements

While iOS 11.1 brings new features and improvements, the update does not bring the Apple Pay features, which were believed to have been part of iOS 11.1. Apple corporate employees in the U.S. reportedly began testing the upcoming Apple Pay features earlier this month and had expanded the trials to retail employees recently, which suggested the improvements would be released in Tuesday’s update. The new features include a person-to-person payment option and the Apple Pay Cash card.
