Now the users can check themselves the new OS as the public beta is rolled out by the company for iPhone and iPad users.

The company has used the space smartly by making it customizable, now users can add Not Disturbing mode or Video recording shortcuts over here.

Now you won’t be getting any warning of not having enough space while downloading new apps. The setting options let you on the the feature which automatically deletes the unused apps in order to make space for the new ones.

To beat the Google Assitance, Apple is trying to make Siri smarter by adding new features. Now Siri can translate the phrases in Spanish, German, French, Italian and Mandarin. For now, it just works for only the American English does not support British English. There are other improvements on the site that will hit only with the public version in future like asking Siri to play music.

The rejigged App store is the place where now you can spend hours in collecting the app knowledge. The games have been given more focus as it now a different category instead of a part of the app section. The new editorial section is also added in order to let the customer to be aware about the top free apps, top paid apps, best tricks to play famous games and information about the developers and apps. The data will change weekly that will give the app developers more chances to get the users via coming in the charts.

The iOS 11 beta version brings the ending of the app that still havn’t updated to the 64 bit.The apps which are still working on 32-bit got the message while using the app “The developer of this app needs to update it to work with iOS 11”.In order to know if your favourite app will work on the iOS 11 or not you can check in the settings.

Settings →General →About →Application. Here you will find the obsolete list of the application needs to be updated by the developers in order to run on the iOS 11.

All the changes and updates can show a bit of inconsistency and lag as it is a beta version. We faced some lag in opening some of the apps and iMessage and Telegram got crashed a couple of times while messaging.The battery won’t able to keep up with the iOS 11 new additions we needed the charger earlier than we used to while using iOS 10.

We need to consider that it’s the best version and the rough and unfinished view of what Apple is building for the users. iOS 11 is the grant project for people and somehow it gonna shape the future of iPhone so we need to hold our horses till the final product hit the market.
