Apple today released iOS 16.1.1 and iPadOS 16.1.1, minor bug fix updates coming two weeks after the iOS 16.1 launch, an update adding support for iCloud Shared Photo Library, Matter, Live Activities and more.
The iOS 16.1.1 and iPadOS 16.1.1 updates can be downloaded over-the-air to eligible iPhones and iPads by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
iOS 16.1.1 fixes some unspecified bugs iPhone users are struggling with, according to Apple’s release notes. For example, users have been afflicted by widespread Wi-Fi bugs. The Wi-Fi bug resulted in random disconnections, with some users unable to stay connected to their Wi-Fi networks.
It’s not clear if the Wi-Fi bug is fixed, as Apple hasn’t provided a specific list of bug fixes, just saying the update “includes bug fixes and security updates.”
iOS 16.1.1 is followed by iOS 16.2, an update that is in beta testing and is expected to be released in December. iOS 16.2 introduces the Freeform app, the new Home app architecture, and other features.
