But while the original iPhone never supported homescreen wallpapers (those were introduced with iOS 4, and iPhone 1 didn’t get iOS 4), it did support gorgeous lockscreen wallpapers. But with iOS 11, Apple is finally putting its foot down. Here is everything you need to know about iOS 11. Considering the number of group chats that we get into where someone bored at work talks and talks and talks. this is great. So, there is a bunch of new updates available to try out on your iOS devices officially.

Users with an Outlook.com, Office 365, or Exchange 2016 email account may not be able to send emails using the default Mail app in iOS 11. The iOS 11 brings the host of the new features like the brand new control centre.

Ars tested iOS 11 on an iPhone 5S and found that the device predictably ran a bit slower than it did on iOS 10, but it’s not necessarily deal-breaking. You’ll be provided with a list of incompatible apps.

Messages in iCloud is also supposed to store older messages, enabling users to save storage space on their devices.

Click on to the above mentioned link once, you will be taken to an official iTunes page.

However, tech experts said don’t click the download button just yet.

Nothing else gets this treatment in iOS beyond the phone and iMessage apps, the two green immovable objects on every iOS home screen. It also makes multi-tasking, a lot easier, thanks to its new features – Split View and Slide Over. You may be asked for your Apple password – do it! Enter a proper password and authenticate it. Also, make sure that the device is charged or it is connected to a power source. We recommend creating an archived backup on your computer, so that you have the backup on hand in case anything goes wrong with your iPhone.

Now you can easily change them to Never, or only while you’re using the app.

The roll-out began yesterday and is rolling out to most iPhone devices. When the iPhone X comes out, a long press on sleep/wake button and the volume button will activate the Emergency mode. Thanks to the Drag and Drop feature on the iPad, you can transfer all kinds of files, just like you do on the Mac or PC. The new file manager app, the new layout is to the App store, among other things. Now, open Control Center, take a screen shot, and you can mark it up, with doodles and underlines.

But as well as the new features themselves there are some important points to note before diving in to the update. This software is the latest in a long line of iOS builds for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch back several generations.
