Apple (somewhat surprisingly)dropped the second beta of iOS 11to developers on Wednesday with a myriad of changes and bug fixes. While there doesn’t seem to be a huge number of user-facing enhancements, there are still quite a few notable changes and new features in this beta.
A large number of prominent bugs have been fixed that have been plaguing users, like crashing when deleting a voicemail, manual screen brightness not staying set, 3D Touch on phone numbers and addresses not working.
Unfortunately, with all of those bug fixes are several new bugs and known issues.
For instance, an SOS alert may still be sent even though the user cancelled it. This is a good reminder this is an early developer beta that should only be run on secondary devices.
As for the new features, we have the initial implementation of the much toutedDo Not Disturb While Drivingmode that will lock your phone as well as send a custom auto-reply (customizable inSettings → Do Not Disturb) should someone text you.
Control Center can now be disabled inside of applications, like on prior iOS editions. And far from last, the Files app now has started to show external locations like Google Drive and Box.
