Following last month’s iOS 17 update, Apple has premiered its latest major update with new features.
The iOS 17.1 update is now downloadable for most newer generation iphones.
The latest update for the operating system has added changes to the AirDrop and StandBy features.
The company said some features may be unavailable in some regions or on Apple devices.
Additionally, the update improved and resolved bug issues such as unresponsive keyboards and the names of incoming callers not appearing while on another call, Apple said.
After releasing the iPhone 15 in September, Apple launched iOS 17 with additions and upgrades to features like live voicemail screening and FaceTime. Among these changes was the ability to create new custom visuals for calls from a contact.
Here's what to know about the new iOS 17.1 features.
