iOS 11 release. New icons in Settings

Developer: Apple
operating system: iOS
Software type: System

When will iOS 11 be available in Russia? And what new features will iOS 11 bring to our iPhones and iPads?

iOS 11 should be ready for release in September 2017, following a presentation expected in the summer of 2017.

The current iOS 10 will definitely be supported by Apple until the end of 2017, but we are already interested in version 11 and its innovations, improvements and features. It’s also interesting which devices version 11 will arrive on. We hope that our article will help you answer these questions.

So what should you expect? On this moment There is no official information, so rumors and arguments will be presented below. As relevant information becomes available, this article will be updated.

What's new?

Apple is actively working on making Siri sound more natural. Work will be carried out to improve the speed of the fingerprint sensor, general optimization of the system in order to improve the performance and lifespan of the smartphone within a single charge. The software responsible for photography will be improved.

In iOS 11, we will have dynamic keyboard positioning, which means we will be able to type many times faster on touch screens. Let's watch the video.

Printing will become easier and faster

Which devices will update to iOS 11

We predict that following devices will have the opportunity to upgrade to iOS 11.

Hi all. This article is a global review of iOS 11. In it, I will go through all the innovations of the operating system relative to iOS 10. There were a decent number of them, so get ready for a lot of text and screenshots. But I tried to be concise.

Completely changed App Store: from icon to functionality and ideology. Firstly, a section with news appeared: “Today”. This section publishes “Game of the Day” and “Apps of the Day” (formerly “Editor’s Choice”). Also, selection articles and interview articles with developers will be published immediately. Behind latest Apple special respect. The App Store clearly lacked this kind of humanity.

Secondly, separate sections for games and programs appeared. This should have been done a long time ago. Each category has its own tops and selections made by Apple moderators. For example, games about Zombies or programs relevant to the outdoors...

Thirdly, the entire store has been redesigned. The App Store has begun to visually look a lot like Apple Music in all its elements. Bold font in headings.

One cool new thing I liked is that the description now states current location applications in their category.

I also note that video from applications starts automatically. This is not very good for those who have limited traffic. This can be disabled in the settings:

Settings->iTunes Store and App Store->Autoplay videos.

Command centre

Completely changed appearance control point. Now all elements again, as in iOS 9 and earlier, fit on one screen. Added on/off button cellular network: Cook heard our prayers.

If you click on any icon and hold it for a second, an additional options window opens. The funny thing is that this works on all devices, even those without 3D Touch, although visually it resembles exactly this function.

Additional options are very useful. For example, a flashlight can be set to one of four brightness levels, and a clock can be set with a timer...

This is what it looks like on the iPad Air (note that the device does not have 3D Touch):

Moreover, you can remove some options from the Control Center and add new ones.

Settings->Control Center->Customize elements. management.

For example, you can add quick access to the voice recorder. But the most interesting thing is the “Screen Recording” option, which allows you to record video directly from the screen of your iDevice.

The video is saved to the Photos app. Previously, this was only possible with the help of jailbreak and tweaks from Cydia.

The iPhone now has a “Do not disturb the driver while driving” option. If it is enabled, then notifications will not be sent if the phone detects that a vehicle is being moved.

Calculator

The icon has changed. The design of the application has changed. Now all the buttons are round, and the button with the number “0” represents an oval.

The Calculator application is still not added to the iPad. Therefore, use third-party applications.

Standard Files application

It appears in the system automatically, therefore it is built into the firmware. Files is an attempt to make a built-in file manager. In terms of functionality, it’s not even close to any Documents, but the change is good.

The application has a couple of sections with the device and iCloud Drive (respectively a separate iCloud app Drive has disappeared from iOS). You can also add third-party cloud applications and file managers. For example, in September, Documents, Dropbox, Google Drive, Cloud Mail, etc. are already available in the program.

On the iPad with its multitasking, the application will become popular, because it is configured for convenient file transfer. But finger transfer also works great on iPhone.

Photo and video

There's one cool change for photos and videos in iOS 11. True, it will only affect owners of iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 10.5 inch iPad Pro and 12.9 inch iPad Pro (2017 model). Photos and videos will now take up 1.5-2 times less space. This is done through built-in HEIF (for photos) and HEVC (for video) encoding. With the same quality, compression of pictures and videos will become more efficient.

Previously, video recorded by the iPhone/iPad camera was compressed in H.264 format. iOS 11 uses the highly efficient H.265 (or HEVC) video compression codec. Although you can’t tell by the names of the codecs, the difference reaches 100%. That is, files recorded using H.265 are half the size of the same files recorded using H.264.

For example, on iOS 10, one minute of video in 720p quality will take up 60 megabytes. And on iOS 11 there are already 40. Video in 1080p quality (30 frames per second) on iOS 10 will be 130 megabytes, and on iOS 11 – 60 megabytes...

Three new built-in effects have appeared for Live Photos: looping videos, pendulum and long exposure... The effects are called up by swiping up on the picture.

Also, iOS 10 had 8 built-in filters for photos, and now there are 9. The names of all filters have been changed. Old filters have been improved. As Apple itself says, with them skin color will look more natural...

The standard iOS camera now has the ability to scan QR codes. If you need to disable the option, then:

Settings->Camera->Scan QR code.

Siri

Siri has changed visually...

And... she became wiser again. Now she can improve her voice, making it more realistic. Some advanced machine technology is used. Siri has also learned to translate in any direction between six languages:

• English
• Chinese
• Spanish
• French
• Italian
• German

It is promised that there will be many more languages ​​in the future. And in general, during the June conference it was said that Siri will almost know what you want. Your own predictor of the future.

Now, if you don't want (or can't) communicate with Siri by voice, you can switch to text typing.

Settings->General->Accessibility->Siri->Text input for Siri.

Dock and multitasking on iPad

The iPad now has a Dock panel similar to Mac OS. The panel contains the most popular apps, which the user runs. The panel is accessible from anywhere. It is not yet clear whether it will work on all iPad models. But everything works fine on a fairly old iPad Air.

The Dock panel holds 13 icons (or folders). Another 3 appear there automatically. These are the most launched applications. This panel can be called up by swiping up from the bottom from any application.

Please note that the icons are now Dock without names, both on iPad and on iPhone:

The multitasking panel on the iPad now needs to be called up with two swipes from bottom to top. As you can see, there are 4 application windows on the screen, which, if possible, reflect what is happening in them. To completely remove the application, you need to swipe up on the program window.

Fast screenshot editor

After taking a screenshot, it hangs in the lower left corner of the screen for several seconds. If you tap on it, the screen will open in a special editor. Here you can quickly crop a picture or draw/write something on it... For this, the editor has various tools.

iOS dark theme

Apple developers are constantly improving accessibility features. These functions are intended mainly for people with disabilities or some problems with hearing, vision, etc. But all users can apply these settings for their tasks.

Thus, iOS 11 introduced a Dark theme.

Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Keyboard shortcuts.

Here you need to check the box for Smart color inversion. After this, at any time you can press Home three times and the system will ask whether to enable inversion. Now the option works almost perfectly. That is, for example, desktops are displayed as is, but applications are converted to a dark color.

Notes

At some point, Apple paid attention to its notes. And now from the copy-paste tool in the first iOS standard Notes has evolved into a powerful tool for working with...drum roll...notes.

In iOS 11, this application has been improved again. Now, tables have been added to notes (hello, Excel?) and the ability to scan documents and cut out the necessary fragments from the scans.

The program now offers the ability to select the background of new notes.

Settings->Notes->Lines and Cells:

Cards

The maps have been improved again and are now available in some countries apple cards- a very worthy alternative. In large cities (New York, London, etc.) everything looks very detailed... There are virtual 3D tours.

Added maps of premises (for example, from them you can already understand where the restaurant is located in mall). When navigating, the maps show the desired lane.

The map supplier is TomTom, which means that maps are useless for Russia.

Optimizing free space

Shared iCloud storage for the whole family. We waited - now one family member can buy free space, and the rest can use it. But you definitely need to buy a tariff of 200 gigabytes.

Settings->General->iPad/iPhone Storage. Here are some recommendations. When the device memory is almost full, the system recommends “Download unused programs.” The program data is saved and, if installed, is picked up by the application.

If you click on the application, then in the description there is an opportunity to download this specific application. The program remains in the settings and the “Reinstall the program” button appears. The desktop icon also remains, but a cloud icon appears next to the application name. When you click on the icon, the application will begin to be installed again.

Right there in the settings, the system offers to view “Large attachments”. If you go there, you can see attachments in messages, sorted by size for easy removal and freeing up space.

Minor changes

Many standard applications have changed icons.

The cellular signal strength icon has changed. Now it's a set of sticks different sizes. And the battery icon has an inner border.

The headers in some applications have changed. Now they look like they should - in bold. For example, the word “Settings” in the corresponding applications.

A new unlocking effect, in which the screen with the password goes up somewhere...

Messages now has a sticker panel at the bottom that expands when touched. Apparently this is a hint to use stickers more often...

The design of the sticker store has also been changed and new effects have appeared:

The transfer of Apple Pay from person to person via iMessage was announced at the conference. I haven’t tested it - I don’t know how it works.

If you hold your finger on the keyboard over the language switching icon, you can select one-handed typing from the menu. The keyboard will move slightly to speed dial. This feature is convenient for plus versions of the iPhone.

Keyboard in iOS 11 on iPad got an additional opportunity quick access to numbers, signs, etc. If you tap on the button, the main icon is printed, and if you swipe down, then the icon that is drawn on the key in a pale color.

There's a new Emergency SOS option on iPhone in Settings for quick access to relevant information stored in the Health app.

Integration-related items have been removed from iOS 11 settings social networks into the system - Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo, etc. Apparently the contracts have come to an end.

Now there's a cool option to drag and drop multiple icons on desktops. This allows you to quickly restore order. The algorithm is simple:

• Press and hold the icon and wait until delete crosses appear on all icons.
• Pull the icon to the side until the cross disappears on it.
• Click on all the icons you want to transfer. They will stick to the first icon and the sticker will show how many applications you are transferring.
• Release at the desired location on any screen or folder. The icons will spread out on their own.

Settings->Accounts and passwords->Passwords for programs and sites. A new item in the settings that allows you to view the contents of the keychain.

Settings->Notifications->Display with banners. A new option that allows you to make banners either temporary (as before) or permanent. Persistent banners will remain on the screen until you force close them or respond to them. This is very important for the messaging program.

The player in Safari has been updated. I won’t say whether it’s gotten worse or better, but from experience it’s still more buggy than the previous one. Well, it was clearly not made for the convenience of users. For example, the scrollbar should be full screen, not 60%...

The photo can be turned into a custom watch face if you have Apple Watch any series.

Settings->General->Turn off. The device can be turned off directly from the settings.

32-bit applications stopped working completely. The developers were aware and whoever wanted it updated or will update them in the next three months.

Answers on questions

When will iOS 11 be released?

The beta version of iOS 11 for developers has already arrived! Anyone can install it according to my instructions. The final version of iOS 11 will be released very soon. The update is, as always, free.

Is it possible to downgrade iOS 11 to iOS 10, 9, 8, etc.?

Rollback will be possible to the latest final version iOS 10! Rollback will be impossible only after the release of the final iOS versions 11 plus 1-2 weeks.

What devices will iOS 11 support?

Almost the same ones that supported iOS 10 (from iPhone 5s, iPad Air, iPad Mini 2, iPod 6Gen and later). The updated iPad Pro will be added to them.

The iPad 4 and iPhone 5 turned out to be detached. They will remain on the latest version of iOS 10.

Note: The sign says iPad 5th generation. This is what Apple called the iPad 9.7, which was recently released.

According to first impressions, iOS 11 is still the same iOS 10 with various useful or not so useful changes. After the update, you must wait at least half an hour - the system may slow down in the first minutes. Then it starts working much faster.

iOS 11 Compatibility: how Apple has already launched the long-awaited 10 firmware software, fans are now eagerly awaiting the release of the next generation of the operating system. But ahead of iOS 11, the biggest question is what can we expect from this operating system and, most importantly, which devices will support iOS 11.

Here in this article, we have compiled a list of iOS-compatible devices, especially iPhones, iPads and iPods, that are eligible for this new operating system. Therefore, before the long-awaited operating system, you need to check your Apple device.

iOS 11 iPhone 5s compatible devices

All iPhones that fall under the iPhone series 5 and above are compatible with the iOS 10 operating system. But for iOS 11, this will not happen. According to various reports, iOS 11 will be compatible with iPhone 5s or above series. So if you're not sure what your iPhone model number is, simply go to your phone's “settings” and click on “about phone options.” You will get all the details about the phone and you can check whether your phone is compatible with iOS 11 or not.

Compatible Devices:

Possibilities iOS 11 from Apple for iPhone and iPad.

Update: The release date of iOS 11 has become known, at least the public beta version, which will allow everyone to install iOS 11 on their iPhones and iPads.

What does the new one look like? operating system? Is it worth the hassle to test unfinished software? We've included all the answers and overview of each new iOS 11 feature below.

iOS 11 will transform your iPhone and iPad, and Apple's update is available now or in three months, depending on who you are.

This is a particularly big update for iPad tablets. Apple tablets will become an even better alternative to laptops (for some people), thanks to an update to multitasking in iOS. Both iPad and iPhone also get a redesigned Control Center.

There are new camera modes, Siri is smarter, and iOS 11 (finally) puts Apple on the cutting edge of innovation. At this point, the AR8 rumors have also been confirmed.

Here's everything you need to know about the iOS 11 beta, which is now open to the general public.

New iOS 11 Dock improves iPad multitasking

The new iPad Pro 10.5 and iPad Pro 12.9 are becoming laptop replacements for many users, while iOS 11 makes it easier.

New multitasking grid in the updated control center.

iOS 11 includes a new bar, just like on Macs, that follows you from app to app, located at the bottom. The Dock is hidden, but you can always pull it out to access multitasking features.

The bottom app drawer also appears in the multitasking menu, which now has a grid design. Now it's much easier to switch between applications, like on a MacBook.

Editor's comment: This is the most important part of iOS 11 if you have a new iPad. We found that the new dock and multitasking menu grid make switching between apps much easier, making the tablet feel more like a computer with multiple windows. This is important for the growing number of users who use the iPad Pro as a laptop replacement.

Drag debuts oniPad

Drag and Drop also debuts in iOS 11 and instantly launches apps in split-screen mode when you drag them away from the main work area of ​​the screen.

Drag and drop apps in split screen mode.

You can also drag and drop photos and hyperlinks across apps using split screen.

You can also move other data onto half the screen: text, photos, hyperlinks and files. Is not iMac Pro is Apple's answer to touchscreen computing.

iOS 11 makes iPads feel closer to laptops than iPhones big size, and this is exactly what Android tablets do not yet offer, even new Samsung Galaxy Tab S3.

Drag and drop for iPhone may be possible in the future, but according to beta testers, the feature is currently disabled for the current version of iOS 11.

Editor's comment: This feature eliminates several unnecessary steps when using iPad, improving productivity. In our testing, it was significantly easier to copy and then paste text and photos using the split-screen menu. Everything works great. We've been missing this feature for the past two years, but now we can drag and drop any data.

UpdateiOS 11: Release date

Now that we're done with the iOS 11 news - and before we get to the rest of the changes, let's slow down on the iOS 11 release date.

iOS 11 is coming this fall, according to Apple, but developers enrolled in the Apple Developer Program can download iOS 11 right now, at least in early update form.

You can also check your device for an update, as Apple has just launched a public update. beta version of iOS 11 (June 26, 2017) and is available on both iPhone and iPad.

Editor's comment: Do I need to download iOS 11? We did it (obviously). For the most part, this is an awesome update, but some apps that rely on Bluetooth locks may not perform well. Developers will fix the problems, but this may not happen until September, when the iPhone 8 launches.

INiOS 11 is hinted atiPhone 8AR

The iOS 11 update offers Apple the largest AR platform in the world - thanks to a large number of iPhones and iPads. This currently truths for fans of augmented reality and developers of this field.

That's why Apple's developer-focused ARKit is an interesting kit for everyone, not just app developers. It hints at the biggest features coming with the iPhone 8 in three months. Get ready for futuristic augmented reality experiences.

What is Apple ARKit on iOS 11? Developers will be able to place virtual objects in the real world using your iPhone or iPad and its camera.

It's like a really advanced version of Pokemon GO, but with a lot more features.

There's nothing on the table. But on the screenThe iPad plays out a whole interactive world.

In fact, Pokemon Go was one of several AR demo releases Apple showed off. But we were even more impressed by what Peter Jackson's studio, Wingut AR, demonstrated

An elaborate augmented reality display included a battle between an outpost and spaceships, all taking place on a peaceful and lifeless living room table.

Speaking of tablets, IKEA is reportedly partnering with the launch of iOS 11's AR feature, allowing virtual furniture to be placed in rooms with millimeter precision.

Apple just created a new playground for millions of existing devices, forcing problems for Microsoft Hololens and Google Tango.

Editor's comment: Don't expect an amazing augmented reality experience if you download the iOS 11 beta now. These are developer tools designed to build the future virtual reality on iPhone and iPad. However, we're really hoping for a big push for augmented reality from Apple, given how many devices run iOS.

iOS 11 testingApple Pencil

The Apple Pencil is a great tool for the iPad Pro series of tablets, but our only complaint about the stylus is that you can't use it wherever you want in apps.

This is a big change for iOS 11. The Instant Markup app lets you draw on PDFs and photos, and Instant Notes lets you jot everything down as quickly as possible—right from the lock screen.

All your instant notes on your device's lock screen are saved in Notes, so don't worry. And by relying on notes next to existing text, you can work with documents in very clever ways.

Take notes, even from the lock screen. Notes are saved inNotes.

You can make changes usingApplePencil even inPDF files and pictures.

Text, get out of the way. I'm drawing here!

Scan and sign documents without the need for a multifunction printer.

The document scanner impresses with the detail of scanning important documents that you need to sign.

It scans, trims edges, removes slant and glare, and lets you fill in the blanks or sign documents using the Apple Pencil.

Editor's comment: This is another significant update for the iPad Pro series. We're not saying the Apple Pencil was previously useless, but its use cases were pretty limited (hello, artists). Now iOS 11 makes the stylus a multifunctional productivity tool, and it also comes hand-in-hand with Apple's magical document scanner.

New keyboard shortcuts foriPad

Apple boosts productivity with the iPad Pro increasing to a 10.5-inch screen, while iOS 11 improves productivity with new keyboard shortcuts.

You no longer have to switch to the second keyboard layer.

This solution combines letter keys with numbers, symbols and punctuation (usually on the second layer of the keyboard), and accesses them using a new gesture.

Pressing a key and sliding down is easier than switching between two keyboard layers. We wanted to see something similar on the iPhone 7 Plus.

Editor's Note: This is one of the smallest changes in iOS 11, but also one of the most important. Not having to switch back and forth between keyboard layers saves you a step, which sets back about a second and a half of time. Spread this time out throughout the day, and you'll start working much faster, with less stress while typing a large email full of typos and specialized characters. We really like this one new feature iOS 11.

AppleFiles opens many clouds

Apple is debuting a new Files app in iOS 11 that lets you sort all your files. You can view, search and organize them all in one place.

Apple Files not only works with the latest files on your iPad, but also with others iOS devices, and also includes iCloud Drive and other services, including Box, Google Drive and Dropbox.

Another way Apple is trying to make the iPad Pro a de facto computer for people who don't need a 2017 MacBook or iMac Pro.

Editor's comment: This move, like the Apple Pencil announcement two years ago, goes against what we've come to expect from the company. Still, it's a welcome change with iOS 11. You may not use the Files app right away since you'll be relying on the old document management, but it's an important update for your Apple device.

iMessages no longer takes up memory

The iOS 11 update makes iMessages even better by seamlessly syncing with iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

This means two things. Firstly, when you delete a conversation bubble on iPad, it will also disappear on your iPhone and MacBook Pro. Great.

Secondly, the update frees up iMessage memory, a real problem for rabid message writers that has remained since iMessage launched.

Whether you're aware of it or not, iMessages takes up a ton of space on your iPhone and iPad, that's the "Other" section if you've ever estimated space through iTunes.

Soon with the iOS 11 update you will be able to create backup copy all iMessages to iCloud to archive them on Apple's secure online servers. Great relief.

Editor's comment: The very fact that iOS 11 syncs iMessages between devices via iCloud may be a bigger change than all the cosmetic additions and the inclusion of stickers from iOS 10. Why? Because while it's a great texting app, especially since you can send messages from Mac and iPad (which isn't as easy to do natively on Android), messages may have remained on other devices after they were deleted. The fact that the application frees up space on the device's memory is a pleasant bonus.

PaymentsApple Pay forfriends

Apple Pay is expanding to include personalized payment options with the iOS 11 update. This is exactly what Venmo and PayPal did, but through a free app.

Apple Pay payments use Touch ID for authentication and iMessages for sending between friends or other contacts who owe you money.

With so many contactless payment options on iOS right now, including Gmail and Facebook, there's no reason to go after debtors in person.

Editor's comment: This is Apple's attempt to expand Apple Pay to compete with Venmo, and it's generally a good thing. Regardless of how many users can benefit from this solution, the effectiveness remains to be seen. It's hard to get attention for this iOS 11 feature, even though it might be handy in everyday life.

Welcome to new shop applications!

We didn't get an iTunes update at WWDC 2017, but iOS 11 brings us a completely new App Store for iPhone and iPad.

The Today tab takes you to a daily updated list of apps and also tells you about best apps. The format is very similar to what Apple did with music app last year.

Don't worry, each app still has its own page, but iOS 11 puts a big emphasis on the new Games and Apps tabs to better highlight the available choices in those areas.

Apple says the new app store is on your mobile devices"intended to be searched" and is effective way make apps load faster, just like they did nine years ago.

Editor's comment: We took a look at the new App Store in the iOS 11 update. The Updates tab is not yet optimized due to the large amount of white space in the menu and larger text that takes up more lines than before, but wherever it is beneficial. Timely changes for this application.

UpdateiOS 11: Better Lossless Audio

It's not yet confirmed, but it has been hinted that iOS 11 may support lossless audio, thanks to the new Files app.

Apple's lossless FLAC audio support on iPhones and iPads will finally give us the ability to listen to uncompressed files without conversion to the FLAC standard.

It's small, but significant change for the previously used Apple mobile audio player, as well as for the future AirPlay 2 and Apple HomePod.

Editor's comment: We haven't been able to try out this iOS 11 feature yet, but it's a promising change for audio lovers. We're also excited about the prospect of iOS 11 allowing us to control multiple speakers individually or all at once - even if they come from different manufacturers.

Siri is smarter and sounds different

To make Siri sound like an artificial intelligence from the future, Apple gives virtual assistant the ability to say the same word with different tones. This is quite different from robotic pronunciation.

Siri also ramps up contextual learning as it reveals different variations of sentences after you read a specific story in Apple News or Safari.

Did you just read the news about Iceland and started typing a word like Reykjavik? Let Siri correct another typo.

Siri is on 375 million devices and works in different languages ​​and... different countries, covering more than any other assistant. Therefore, Apple uses its development in the background iOS updates 11.

The assistant uses deep learning to translate quickly, something we haven't seen before. Would you like to order an original dish in Chinese? Just ask Siri to do it for you.

The iOS 11 operating system certainly raises some questions. But, what else, this is a test build. No one can forbid expressing their dissatisfaction, but you shouldn’t make a dirge for this version out of a couple of little things. Things may well change before release.

And it’s much more interesting to look at the advantages and get acquainted with the new cool features of this system in order to have a deeper understanding of the side of the issue, and not just about the flaws that caught your eye first.

What's new in iOS 11

Let's start with the fact that Apple has done a lot of work to make owners of 16 GB devices feel more free.

Automatically uninstall apps

Automatically remove apps in iOS 11 to save space

Starting with the fact that in the settings of iTunes and the App Store, you can allow the system to automatically download applications that are launched very rarely.

If necessary, they can be reinstalled, but the trick is that all files and data will remain in their places. That is, the application will disappear for a while. Thereby freeing up space on the device, but if desired, it can be returned in its original form.

Document and QR code scanner with standard camera

Standard iOS camera can now make document scanners in notes. It works for now, it’s a bit crude, but even now you can use it.

Also in the usual application you can recognize QR codes. In addition, the Files application will soon be able to contain other cloud storage services.

This will give:

• quick access to all files from the clouds in one place
• will free you from the need to keep applications for each storage separately on the device.

Compress videos and photos in half without losing quality

All the videos and photos that you take on your iPhone will take up space and therefore weigh half as much. This may be due to the codec, although it can be changed in the settings.

The difference is that the feature is not compatible with all other devices, so there are options to automatically transfer photos and videos in a compatible format. This is done in the camera settings.

Improved screenshot system

The screenshot can now be opened, edited and sent wherever you need it immediately after you took it. If such an opportunity turns out to be inconvenient, because it is an unnecessary movement, then no.

It’s enough just not to touch it in the lower left corner and after a few seconds it will fly into the album itself.

Switching music tracks using AirPods

The next feature will greatly delight the owners AirPods headphones, but for those who don’t have them, it will give them another reason to buy such a headset.

In general, in addition to Play and Pause, you can now reassign the function to switch tracks forward and backward. The peculiarity is that for each earphone you can set a command separately.

Authorization keys in third-party applications

Data from your keychain will be offered for completion. To be fair, I want to say that recently such an option appeared in the new Anroid.

Smart Color Inversion Mode

Or the so-called black one, dark theme. If in standard applications is still not bad (some elements remain the same color), then in third party applications This is still an ordinary inversion, which is understandably completely inconvenient.

Is it worth upgrading now?

To update or not? Of course not! This is the first beta with all that it implies: a crude system, a lot of bugs, crashing applications, fast battery drain and many other problems.

But what we can recommend is to sit down in the evening, make a backup copy on iOS 10 and roll iOS 11. Click, try all the innovations yourself, and then roll back to iOS 10. This recommendation is universal for all devices.
