Apple today released iOS 16.1.1 and iPadOS 16.1.1, minor bugfix updates that come two weeks after the launch of iOS 16.1, an update that added support for the iCloud shared photo library, Matter, Live Activities, and more.
iOS 16.1.1 and iPadOS 16.1.1 updates can be downloaded to eligible iPhones and iPads directly by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
iOS 16.1.1 fixes a few unspecified bugs that iPhone users have been facing, according to Apple’s release notes. Users have been plagued with a widespread Wi-Fi bug, for example. The Wi-Fi bug caused random disconnections, with some users unable to stay connected to their Wi-Fi networks.
It’s unclear if the Wi-Fi bug is fixed as Apple didn’t provide a specific list of bug fixes, simply stating that the update “includes bug fixes and security updates.” .
iOS 16.1.1 will be followed by iOS 16.2, an update currently in beta testing and slated for launch in December. iOS 16.2 introduces the Freeform app, new Home app architecture, and other features.
