General iOS 11.0 GM Bug Fixes And Changes

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
Installed iOS 11 GM on my 10.5 iPad Pro (first taste of iOS11 as it’s my only iPad and I didn’t want to slow it down with an earlier beta). Also now installed on my iPhone 6 Plus and it’s laggy as hell.

Huge disappointment on the iPad. Guess I will get used to it but currently wish I could go back to iOS 10. It’s silky smooth, but here are my list of hates, dislikes and annoyances:

  • New iPad keyboard. Too many acc8d3nt@l n7mb3rs in middle of words due to swipe down feature. I think this will at least improve over time as I learn to adjust my finger positions to work around. Also, if we’re going to add this, where is the “swipe up to capitalise letters” functionality?
  • New dock and mission control: confusing layout makes it harder to switch apps quickly in my opinion as it is not immediately obvious which slot the app I have just switched from occupied. Not sure what the advantage is of pairing multitasking sessions together
  • Multitasking: much less intuitive and not as quick as before. Rather than swipe from right I have to swipe up, select app from dock (if the one I want is there), hold and then drag to the right, let go, then adjust to desired position. Also, now, to toggle to split I have to adjust toggle at top, but then switch to a different toggl3 on the left to adjust size. In iOS10, both of these actions were completed using the same control. Also to switch secondary apps, which is one of the most common things I do, rather than swipe down and choose I now have to go through the same above convoluted process
  • Pop-over multitasking: 2nd app no longer disappears when you return to the main app, meaning it’s mostly in the way. It can’t be resized, only moved between two positions, and the only way to move it is the toggle at the top, but you have to hit it right for it to work, which makes it way too frustrating to get the damn thing out of the way. I can only presume this behaviour was changed to facilitate the drag and drop feature, but this brings me to the next point...
  • Drag and drop: while this works well and as you would expect, it gets in the way of the more useful IMO function of hold to bring up contextual menu. Now I have to hold for an extra 1-2 seconds to bring up the pop-up, which is what I need 95% of the time. Also we’re back to that annoying pre-iOS 7 trick of trying to hit the tiny minus button to get rid of recently opened apps in the dock (and hold to jiggle on home screen now takes several seconds longer to activate as well)
But the biggest kicker of all is this:

  • Why in God’s name is the functionality for core functions now completely different - in some cases diametrically opposite - for different devices?! I intend to get an iPhone X but this means forever more I will have swipe up for the dock on iPad and control centre but perform a completely different set of gestures on the new iPhone... which of course is different to all other iPhones! Surely, it would have made sense for the iPhone X to implement the swipe up for dock as in iPad, or at least implement the same functionality consistently acros# devices... this really isn’t good for muscle memory!

If I set the weather to "always" on privacy, it updates the weather widget correctly, if it's set as "only while using", it doesn't update location or temperature. Shouldn't it update regardless of the setting?

If I remember correctly on iOS 10, we weren't able to set as "only while using", it was either "never" or "always". So I'm guessing it has something to do with it.
 
I’m still really annoyed by the removal of 3D Touch multitasking. It feels unfair to remove it from all devices just so that it doesn’t clash with the iPhone X gesture. I really don’t see the harm of keeping it on the older devices and disabling it on the X.

weather it's weird sometimes the weather widget display one thing and the app another
 
Hello I feel that my iphone7 battery is being drained even with the gold master and the iphone heats moderately but very quickly with barely no usage. I mean, I answer some texts or browse across wifi and my battery drops about 8% in 20 minutes. I dont know if I'm Paranoic, but I had iOS 10 until last week and it was working great about battery left. I woke up at 6 am and had about 85% battery or 80% by 12pm, now i have 75-70% with very low usage because i dont use it too much at work.[/QUOTE]

Do you have wifi on?



Yes.



Same here. At first I saw the same bug. But when I opened the take portrait by force touching the icon on the home screen. I had got a first time use prompt. Once I hit continue. No more issues launching it via control center and force touch even after killing the camera app.



Only happens with one or two apps usually. The developers got to update their app. So far it hasn’t happened to me since iOS 11.



Yes that’s still there. But most times I forget about it. It’s on all my devices.

Yes WiFi is on, why should that affect weather?

Mine is set to "Always" and the widget won't update. This morning the widget still read "109 - Phoenix" even though I was waking up to a "cool" 83 degrees in Mesa.

A widget isn't considered "using" the app, so it can't update the weather. You must have it set to Always if you want your weather widget to update correctly.

I’ve noticed I cannot 3D Touch the alarm clock in control centre. Just get three vibrations in quick succession. Am I alone with that?

just wondering, have you tried rebooting your phone? this helped me a few betas back, when i was suddenly having unusual battery issues...

Yes, Someone actually recommened to reboot when going to sleep and when waking up for the first 48h of installing a new beta or new OS. Sadly, Id say the result is the same. Dont know if the final release will correct this issue (maybe because it's a beta, it will consume more, but i dont really know)
[doublepost=1505343046][/doublepost]nope. Not alone. Maybe there is no 3D touch feature for alarm, and it vibrates as a "no function available" prompt.

My alarm works as it should. 3D Touch the clock icon and the option comes right up. (iPhone 7)
 
Issues on my iP7 I have noticed:

Pokemon Go Plus still very slow.

Deleting email from a notification doesn’t delete the email.

yes, but that is different from 3D touching from control center. In the home screen you are toggling the whole app itself, while on control center, every function (alarm, chronometer, etc.) is one different buttong, that's why youre getting teh vibrations for the alarms, there is no 3D touch options there in control center.
