General iOS 11.0 GM Bug Fixes And Changes

[Banglazed]

New iOS beta will be avalaible one week after the official release of iOS 11 ?

Normally, 11.x after a week or sometimes I've seen it comes out the same day as official release or just a few days.

I don't normally do this, but here's my battery life statistics on iPhone 7.

 

[iL15hts]

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!

You can disable the Key Flicks in the keyboard settings.
Edit: sorry mentioned above post

I believe they removed it due to the swipe back geasture in the AppStore, of you notice you have to do a hard swipe, not soft like in settings.

No it's not? It's just a normal swipe like everywhere else?
EDIT: And if it was a "hard swipe", that would be horrendous designing. Why would they put that on the App Store, but nowhere else?

Well said, completely agree with your last point - what a mess!

Hey guys I am facing something weird. I just found out my Apple Watch is connected to the iPhone even when the Bluetooth is turned off. How is this possible? Is this the reason for my battery drain

IOS 11.0 GM iPhone SE 16GB VodafoneUK

Calls degraded and inevitably failed.
iPhone needed a restart each time.

Returned to 10.3

Anybody having any issues with text alerts? They seem to be hit and miss - sometimes I get an alert for a text, other times I won't and I don't know I've received a text until I look at the phone and see the notification on the lock screen or the badge on the Messages app icon. It's actually worse on my iPad running the GM - no alerts at all unless the iPad is unlocked and I'm using it. I've done a hard and soft reboot but it's still not working properly.

Looks like a factory reset might be in order...

If you turned it off in CC then it's not off. You've probably seen one of the 1000 times this had been asked about and explained.

If you actually want it off use Settings. It's not the cause for battery drain. Bluetooth is a tiny fraction of the phone's power budget.

I’m experiencing this same thing. Not really looking forward to a factory reset.

Any one able to activate iMessages in the cloud?

 

[576316]

Feels like my battery life is worse than last beta. 7 Plus.

I’m pretty sure I just watched it lost 4% battery in just under 3 minutes on Low Power mode.

Maybe this is intentional and just another method Apple use to push people towards buying a new device.

Though I am also willing to put this down to the fact I’m currently sat in 30°c heat in Greece.

System is taking up 17 GB (!!!) of storage on my iPhone 7 128 GB. This needs to be addressed quickly as 17 gigs is clearly too much.

That does not exist in the current build. There is no option for it and won’t be until Apple decides to include it again.

Erase and restore from iCloud backup fixed it for me a couple of betas ago. Haven’t had a problem since.

Thanks. That fixed it.

Incorrect description, you have to swipe further in the AppStore to go back to the today tab

Thorough iTunes or iPhone settings?

 

[scjr]

Haven’t had this happen. Charged phone to 100% before bed. Got up this morning and it was down to 63% charge.

Normally the % doesn’t drop or maybe a 1-2% drop overnight. Nothing obvious in battery usage showing drain.

Oddly, it wasn’t connected to WiFi. When I checked there, it said no internet connection available. So it was on LTE overnight. Odd, because my internet connection was fine and my iPad was connected just fine.

Anyone seen this happen?

 

[Rat-Boy]

Is anyone else having issues deleting emails from notifications or is it just me? It simply does not work on my phone. I click Trash and go in to email later and the email is still there, un-read status.

Anyone else?

 

[chezhoy]

Has anyone else experienced certain items underlined? Address, links, anything "clickable," etc.? It's all over different apps to include the Apple apps on my iPhone 6. It started in the later beta version updates and now the GM.

No, it’s the exact same.

Happening here too. Been doing that for past couple betas. Pretty annoying.

That’s some of Siri’s suggestions at work. For instance, text someone “Dinner tonight at 7?” That will automatically get underlined and become a link to add that event to your calendar.

Is it? because it's in Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Address Book, Mail...everything. It's an eyesore and looks tacky...why on earth would they change that when we know what to click on?

 

[atlchamp]

okay so "updating" from ios 11 GM to 10.3.3 has failed on two diff machines and 2 diff WIFI networks. It doesnt work that process is broken 100% can anyone else replicate that issue?

 

[mous94410]

Ok so the animations are very slow. My iPhone runs much better with the animations disabled
