The only app I have that doesn't work is peaks, a nice little augmented reality app that identifies mountains when you point the camera at them. It does look like there is an alternative though called peakfinder (which I do have to pay for), just hope its as good.

Cheers re. the Bluetooth advice, despite being switched off in the control bar it was still running in Settings...brilliant Apple, well done.

On a positive note it was clunky and slow initially but seems slick and fast again now.

Battery use has ceased it's freefall now and only dropped 2% in the last hour.

Bluetooth works as described in this doc:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208086

It just disconnects connected BT devices and leaves BT still on. Which is bit too smart way to do things IMO.

Option for sharing Wifi key to people in your contacts caused internet rage when Windows Mobile had it, now it is nice new feature?

Upgrades an iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Pro 10.5" and an original Apple Watch last night.

All Apps working as expected.

No change to battery drain on any device.

iPad is actually running faster than on iOS 10.

That Bluetooth operation is a bit.. odd.

Quite a few comments floating around about the new Files app not working properly with DropBox and being a bit buggy and/or non-intuitive.

I’ve just discovered you can easily shuffle all songs by a single artist now. That’s a big improvement.

Now to check if you can play all albums in order...

Edit - yes! I am happy

Bit annoying that iPad and iPhone is a bit different, would have liked the iPad style taskbar on the phone too

What is the best free calculator on the iPad, the one I was using was obviously 32bit and its now broken.

Our IT has informed us that

Due to an incompatibility in the new release of iOS, users of the built-in Apple Mail app in iOS 11 may be unable to sync their Office 365 mailbox or login to their accounts. iOS 9 or 10 users are not affected.

Yeah we had a very similar warning a few weeks ago fotflaps:

Please do NOT upgrade to iOS 11
We have been part of Apple's beta program, as such found some issues.
Once again, do not upgrade as there are issues with the built in mail application.
You will not be able to reply, nor forward an email.
We are aware and working on a resolution, but unfortunately we do not have an ETA.
We will let you know once it is safe to upgrade, in the meantime please refrain.

The new scanning feature sounds good on the Notes app but I don't seem to have it on my iPhone 6s as I get no plus symbol above the keyboard :-/

Peasy, to scannin notes just create a new note and a pop up menu comes up with a + within a circle.... then a menu asking you what do you want to do and scan is there..

I have it on my SE, so should be on the 6S.

If the toolbar is not above the keyboard, clicking the + in the circle should make it appear. Should work on new and existing notes.

Reboot device if still nothing.

Ok cheers sorted. The new functionality only seems to work if you set the notes to sync with iCloud rather than your mail account.

I’m liking the keyboard on my iPad, filled with all sorts of useful stuff which saves side scrolling through to get numbers n stuff..

Here’s hoping ABP gets updated, I seem to have an advert on this page 😕

Just upgraded. Work Office 365 looks to be working OK (I can forward and reply) and I have all the new goodies on the Notes app referred to above. I'm on an iPhone 6.

Files app is underwhelming, but probably because I already had the (old) iCloud app that did a very similar thing.

What other stuff should I be getting excited about? 🙂

[b]Mini PSA:[/b] crappy iOS 11 "feature"

Since upgrading to iOS 11 I can't Airplay to my Airport Express (hooked up to some speakers via 3.5mm jack). This is a big hairy PITA. What little I can find on the internet suggest AirPlay 2 is not supported in Apple hardware like the Airport Express. Hope I'm wrong.

Copy this: ?

Go to Settng > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement and press the +

Paste your ? into the phrase box and type a suitable phrase into the shortcut box. I use inf, so whenever I type inf it autocorrects to ?

@still that woul be a PITA indeed

@Three that’s a cool trick

Turns out Inhad a second calculator app loaded on the iPad which I had forgotten about 😳

Unloaded app feature to recover storage is a nice add, saves your data but deletes the app which can be downloaded again when you rub low on storage it finds the apps you are not using

Anyone updated a 5s with this iOS? Good, bad or indifferent idea? It's there if I want it, pleasingly it's not trying to push it on me like it does sometimes, but I have no idea if I do want it...

And it's not like you can undo it, if it buggers the phone up.

Don't know - are you on iOS 10.3.3? I think that's when they introduced it.

Yes, done Mrs R's one. Performance seems to be pretty much the same as before. She doesn't use it for much other than phone & messaging so can't comment on how well the new features work but I can see no reason not to upgrade.

That is a bummer, I am looking to pick up an airport express and link to speakers as just took a 7 with no headphone jack. Please keep updated!

I have the same issue.....goes off to check! 😕

Yes I'm on 10.3.3 and selecting apps is not an option, its greyed out!

Ive also seen it's (ios 11) 1.9gb and I only have 630mb spare!

Please keep updated

Been in touch with Apple. Despite being very helpful, they couldn't resolve it and it's gone to the engineering team. During the troubleshooting process I've lost Airplay facility to ALL my devices, as opposed to just the Airport Express, so even less happy now 🙁 My phone doesn't even see my Apple TV now or my hi-fi, never mind the Airport Express!

On a positive note, their support is very good and I hadn't expected this much attention from them.

Ive also seen it's (ios 11)

I'm guessing the upgrade to iOS11 automatically removes those apps?

I think the idea was you check [i]before[/i] you upgrade.

I'm confused. I thought the motivation was that they were ditching support for 32 bit apps to cut down on the number of libraries loaded etc? So if it doesn't remove those apps then how do they still function after the upgrade?

And how do you get a list of the offending apps after the upgrade?

Well, bugger me. I don't know whether Apple are now Apple to do "over the air" patches, but my Airplay devices have magically reappeared, including the Airport Express that went missing immediately after the iOS11 update. I've not touched my iPhone or fiddled with my network since talking to Apple about this, but somehow it's working again. That's weird. Good, but weird.

Having played a little more since last nights update, I've found the Notifications swipe down from the main screen has been replaced by an Auto Phone Lock feature.. which I think is a step in the right direction, can't honestly remember the last time i used the Notification thingumybob...
So from your main screen hit the Home button and the Phone will unlock, then just scroll down form the top of the screen to lock it... replacing hitting the on/off buuuutoooonnn.

where are you seeing them? cant find them.

Ok..
Create a message
Hit the A (AppStore Icon)
Once done a load of animated Gifs appear and a menu at the bottom of the popup giving you options to upload a pic from Photos or Imgur(in my case, but sure another Photo storage Icon will be there for your preferred Photos) an AppStore Icon (for Apps) iTunes (for uploading music) and the HeartTwoFinger free hand tool also..

Yay for animated Gifs !!
