Don't agree at all. I really like keeping track of versions for smaller apps, and for developers it can be helpful for users to know what version they're on. Apple shouldn't be designing for FB and Google's practices, because that's a race to the bottom.

It's not just FB and Google, though. A lot of the bigger developers do that crap. For example the Uber app is at version 3.261.4, Snapchat is at 10.17.5.0, Pandora is 1708.2 etc. Like what does that shit even mean? Version numbers used to have significance (and still do for smaller devs), but these days more often than not it's just an arbitrary number.

I don't feel too strongly about this one way or the other, just pointing out why I think Apple removed it from the updates screen - because it's meaningless clutter much of the time. It's mostly used for support purposes, and for that use case, it's still listed prominently on the app page.

My iMessage was messed up this morning after the update. My phone is updated but my wife’s isn’t. I had to restart but that seemed to fix the issue.

I do like that pictures to that contact now show up my fusions touchscreen when I’m on a call.

 

[Applesauce]

So iOS 11 fucked up my iMessage. I see only numbers now on the threads and not names.... anybody know how to fix this?

Try going to Settings > Accounts and Passwords > iCloud > and then turn off and back on the Contacts option.

 

[Particle Physicist]

anyone install this on the iPhone 6? Just wondering about performance. I have been holding off for now given that it's a much older phone.

 

[Wozzly]

I’m liking the update but my only gripe is that in iCloud Drive I can’t sort my files and docs by kind. The order of my files is different from my iCloud Drive on my Mac. It’s annoying but oh well.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

A lot of bugs. Been getting more disconnects from my airpods since I upgraded. Sliding control center down to close opens notification screen. Music app crashing.

Hope they get some fixes out asap.

That worked, thank you.

Yesterday everything was rosy on an iPhone 6 post upgrade, today the battery drain was out of control. Haven't had any issues with the battery until I updated, and today my phone was nearly dead after I got out of work and it was steadily losing power, even plugged in, while riding back home in the car with only Spotify running.

 

[Particle Physicist]

How do I submit a reproducible bug?

Every single time on my iPad Air 2 whenever I use safari and I try to have iMessages as a slide over panel rather than a split view it freezes. The touch screen is no longer responsive and the home button does nothing. The only button that works is the power buttton that turns off the screen but doesn’t turn it back on. I have to hard reset every time.

I just did on 64GB one. Seems faster and more responsive imho. Hopefully it doesn't kill my battery life.

whoa I always thought Witness was good for a mobile game. I might actually buy this if it works well on 6S+

 

[brianmcdoogle]

I don't know if this is iOS 11 related, but I'm going to post it here and maybe in another thread just in case.

I used my phone with the HDMI adapter today to stream a 2 hour movie on a television. I also used my AirPods to listen to the movie instead of the television screen. Now, I know that is a lot, but during this, not only did my phone become incredibly hot to the touch at the end, but I lost 20% power while I was plugged in. I've done this before, but I don't remember the heat and the significant power loss. Might this be iOS 11 related? Something to do with the Airplay/Adapter or AirPods?

Quick question: In Control Center, is there a way to turn off Wi-Fi completely rather than just disconnecting it?

I hate that I have to go into Settings every time when I need to disable Wi-Fi.

Thanks!

 

[j-wood]

So I have the toggle for podcasts to download over WiFi turned off, but my podcasts still just sit in waiting. I had this problem on iOS 10 too. Any ideas how to fix this?

 

[Business]

On iPad, the Gmail app can’t do split screen or I am doing something wrong?

The way they implemented this makes a lot of sense because as is pointed out here, WiFi and Bluetooth are used for plenty of base system functions. And, if you need it all the way off, you can do it via settings.

They should put it behind a long press and/or 3D Touch

That sucks and I agree that it should have been put behind a long press or as a 3D touch option. Having to always go into settings is a bit annoying when in 10, you basically toggled it to be on/off.

I mean, I get that Wi-Fi is pretty much everywhere but at the same time, my phone shouldn't always be looking for a network or device that I'm not going to connect to. I only ever auto-join networks that I use regularly or at a family member's home, but even a trusted network like Starbucks still requires you to accept their terms.

 

[mackaveli]

Did they change safari and opening links in a new tab? I would browse gaf and then hard press a link to select open in new tab and read all the threads I was interested in. This is on iPad 10.5. Now when I do it highlights the text and I can move it to a new tab on the top. But there has to be a faster way? It does the drag and drop. Any suggestions or tips ?

Edit. Oh I guess I have to hard press even longer now for it to work now.

 

[j-wood]

Fixed the podcasts download issue (seems to only download on cellular with manual downloads).

I keep having odd rendering issues with apps though. Like in music, the bottom bar being halfway off the screen. This is on a 7, Come on Apple.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Wow just tried housecraft on my GFs 6S.
It’s very compelling! I’m a huge vr nut and was immediately getting down on my hands and knees looking at the undersides of things just like VR. It was really cool. I even went “wait where’s that chair!!” When I looked up from the phone screen.

 

[Juice]

I don't like the new podcasts app. the organizer is a mess and...where is the "sleep delay" function??

Scroll down for the sleep timer. The card view is scrollable. This got me too

 

[HeadsUp7Up]

I’ve seen a few folks asking about iPhone 6 performance and iOS 11 actually runs better on my 64GB 6 than 10.3.3 ever did. I see no reason anyone on a 6 shouldn’t update. I can’t speak to how well it runs on the 6+ though.

You can also tap the link with two fingers, or drag the link to the + icon.
Effectively three ways to do it.

 

[Giolon]

Did they merge media and ringer volume levels? Seems like I only have one right now when I hit the volume buttons

That would be terrible if they did.

This has been a thing since like iOS 4. In Settings -> Sounds (& Haptics), there is a toggle under Ringer and Alerts for "Change with Buttons". If it is on, the volume buttons will affect all sounds. If it is off, the volume buttons will only affect media and will not affect Ringer or Alert sounds, and instead can be adjusted using the slider on the same screen.

 

[Applesauce]

3D Touch menus on app icons are jittery as fuck for me and I'm on a 7+. I don't recall it being like this in the final stages of my 6S+ on iOS10.

Just disable ask to join networks then? Your battery will not be taking a big hit by having the wifi radio on.

Yes. Buggy but battery and fluidity much better than before update.



QUESTION: Did they change Sir's voice? it seems way higher pitched and more annoying now.

 

[Auron_Kale]

I get that and again, while annoying, it's not a deal-breaker for me. I just thought that you'd be able to disable it completely like in 10, or it would at least be behind a long press within Control Center.

 

[NYR]

QUESTION: Did they change Sir's voice? it seems way higher pitched and more annoying now.

Yep, new voice.

The original Siri voice was recorded before Apple owned the company. She has made nothing additional or compensated anything, nor recorded anything new since Apple bought ScanSoft.

If you ask Siri if her voice changed, she says she has just been practicing.

It's just AWFUL.

I'm using it a lot in Carplay and it's harsh and irritating.

 

[SuperPac]

Yes, they did. Though apparently it’s an evolution where they added onto the old voice with new data or some such as that.

 

[giga]

What. The new voice is so much better and natural than the old one. Try the aussie or british ones.

I like everything about the update, except the new UI update to the podcast app.

Mind utterly blown. Thank you.

Maps destinations are broken for me for home and work place. The widget says I need to add them, but when I do it never adds it to the list.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Kinda weird that they hid the "auto-brightness" toggle within General ---> Accessibility instead of the usual "Display and Brightness."

 

[dallow_bg]

The flick keyboard is cool but I almost exclusively use the split keyboard in portrait mode.
They should add them there too.

Mind utterly blown. Thank you.

Oh I just learned it today as well.
Kudos to that gaffer that originally posted it!

 

[ZoltanXerxes]

I have a 6 Plus (same as 6 just bigger) and no real trouble so far. There is a little bit of lag sometimes but not too bad.

 

[rocksteady1983]

Does smart invert work pretty well?

 

[Future]

On 7 plus and yeah.... something is draining this battery much faster

holy shit. it’s so fast too.

 

[Stinkles]

And by weird you mean completely insane and pointless. Also reset all the brightness settings on my devices forcing me to deal with it.

 

[Khansolo1]

Can anyone hear the voice of Siri when you say “hey Siri”

 

[ilikesanta]

The Bluetooth toggle button in control center, doesn't actually turn off Bluetooth!

I was wondering why my battery was draining so fast.

*Edit old news BUT STILL!

 

[Applesauce]

Does smart invert work pretty well?

No not really. The first app I opened with it enabled was the Washington Post app and all the photos were still inverted. On the other hand pics I posted in iMessage displayed fine.
