Apple iOS 11.0.3 Squashes More Bugs

iOS 11.0.3
Last September, Apple launched iOS 11, its latest mobile operating system. A few days ago, they released the third revision — iOS 11.0.3 — with a host of new features and bug fixes in tow.

It’s available now. Users only need to go to Settings > General > Software Update to kick off the installation process, and read on to find out what’s new.

The iOS 11.0.3, which began rolling out to the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and other supported iOS devices last 11 October, contains fixes for longstanding hardware problems. A bug that affected the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus’s audio and haptic feedback motors has been addressed, Apple says, and so has an issue that causes the iPhone 6s touchscreen to become unresponsive if it had been serviced with third-party replacement parts.

Before the update, some users reported hearing a static noise from the iPhone’s earpiece during phone calls and FaceTime sessions. The only way to avoid the crackling noise was to wear headphones or use the speakerphone function, MacRumors noted. iOS 11.0.2 contained a partial fix, but iOS 11.0.3 should resolve the problem once and for all.

Both iOS 11.0.1 and 11.0.2, the two versions of iOS 11 before iOS 11.0.3, fixed bugs that caused photos to become hidden on the devices and attachments in S/MIME encrypted emails to disappear. They also tweaked a few behaviors.

Users will find three emoji options in the keyboard’s predictive menu instead of one. If they type the word "love," for example, there's now more than one heart emoji to choose from.

Under iOS's Accessibility menu, there are more custom actions to choose from. users can now assign different apps and settings — like Apple Pay, for example, or volume controls — to the single-tap, double-tap, and long-press gestures.

It is clear that iOS 11.0.1 focuses a lot on animation. The app window that appears when users tap a notification sinks a little deeper than before. And web content moves more fluidly when they scroll to the top of the screen after tapping the status bar.

Even though iOS 11.0.3 doesn't include many changes, there is still tons to learn about iOS 11. From a redesigned control center to an entirely new App Store, the mobile operating system has plenty of new features.
