“Apple has released the third iOS 11.1 beta for iPhone and iPad. iOS 11.1 beta includes the return of 3D Touch gestures for multitasking as well as hundreds of new emoji characters including ‘Woman with Headscarf, Bearded Person, Breastfeeding, Zombie’ and plenty more,” Zac Hall reports for 9to5Mac. “Apple has also released the third beta versions of watchOS 4.1 beta with Apple Music and Radio streaming as well as tvOS 11.1 beta.”
“We’ll be looking for Apple Pay Cash which has recently been in testing as well as any other new features in the latest iOS 11.1 beta,” Hall reports. “The update is currently available for members of Apple’s developer program and is expected to be officially released in late October.”
Hall reports, “Other new iOS 11 features coming in the future include AirPlay 2 and Messages in iCloud.”

MacDailyNews Take: If you’re waiting for the random issues to be cleared up before updating your iOS devices, the x.1 releases are generally the way to go! Not much longer now.
Best thing you can do with emoji is turn them off.

I think I’m just going to ride out iOS 10 on my iPhone 7 until I upgrade to the iPhone X. My wife lost a lot of battery life with her upgrade on 6S plus. I do like iOS11 on the iPad Pro.
Check “Background App Refresh”. It has been reported that the upgrade resets all of those settings and turns it on for every App on your phone.
– – That will hammer your battery.
I don’t need Social media apps and 90% of the other apps checking the Internet every 30 seconds for new posts and updates.
Way to go Apple. Overriding the user’s preference settings./s
Great, so middle eastern women not only have to deal with being subjugated to wear headscarfs but can be harassed with text emojis too.
Slow clap for Apple.
