Apple recently released the second version of iOS 17.1, but this update is only for iPhone 15 users.
If you don’t have an iPhone 15, you won’t see this update on your device. Some time ago, Apple released the first version of iOS 17.1 to users.
The new update is identified by the build number 21B77 and is currently available only for beta developers.
If you are a registered developer, you can access the iOS 17.1 beta version by following these steps:
Start by opening “Settings” and selecting “Software Update.” Then, tap “Beta Update” and switch on the option for iOS 17 or iPadOS. Once you have the update, you can install it.
The company might release this update to everyone soon. There are lots of new features in this update. Let’s find out about them.
You can use all these new options
In the iOS 17.1 update, you can do some cool things. You can mark songs, singers, and albums as favorites.
When you mark them as favorites, they go into your collection and can give you ideas.
You can also easily mark things as favorites, even from the lock screen, using the Now Playing widget. Plus, you’ll get song suggestions when you begin a playlist.
Airdrop via Internet
iPhone 15 users can now send and receive files remotely using AirDrop.
This feature also works with Apple Watch, specifically for watches running watchOS 10.1 and NameDrop.
Camera Light and Backlight Fix
If you have an iPhone 15 Pro, you won’t have the issue of the camera light and backlight turning on unexpectedly anymore.
Before, sometimes when the iPhone was in your pocket, the camera light and backlight would turn on by mistake, but that’s been fixed in the new update.
In the regular iPhone 15 models, when you start the camera, a light will come on to show that your camera is working.
Additionally, in the update for the iPad, you can now use the new USB-C Apple Pencil.
The issue of the phone turning off by itself will be repaired
Right now, only people with iPhone 15 can get this update. We don’t know why yet.
In the previous update, the company fixed the problem where the screen could get damaged.
This new update might stop iPhones from turning off by themselves at night.
A lot of people had a problem where their phone would turn off on its own while charging at night and then turn back on in the morning when the alarm goes off.
