The iOS 11 is the latest software update for their iOS smartphones. The change, however, was already seen some months ago but it was announced just a few weeks ago.

Besides, while software is in Beta version, the developers get to study the app, know more about it and learn the pros and cons of their software. The same thing goes for the iOS 11. About ten different beta versions of the operating system were release and with each release came a new update. Some of the updates could be detected by users while some other updates remained hidden.
