With less than a week to go before the expected WWDC 2018, those from Cupertino launch their, hopefully, latest version of iOS 11 Y is that the first Beta of iOS 12 will be launched on June 4th and it was to be expected that they had to publish this new update shortly.
iOS 11 has been one of the Apple operating systems that has accumulated the most versions. Normally we didn't see more versions of a iOS x.2 or at most up to x.3 , but this time we've gone as far as x.4 . This reveals the instability of this iOS.
In a while there hasn't been a iOS that has been more annoying, since its release, than iOS 11. Thank you that, in these last versions, some stability has been achieved.
What's new in iOS 11.4:
This new update has brought few notable news. The ones that have caught our attention the most are shared below:
Messaging in iCloud:
We can activate messages in icloud
It was a novelty that was expected for iOS 11.3, but since it was not implemented at the time, it has been released in the version of iOS 11.4 .
Finally the synchronization of iMessages messages and conversations has reached all users. It took a while but we already have it here.
From now on we can have our messages synchronized on all devices associated with the same Apple account.
AirPlay 2 and stereo sound for HomePod:
Airplay 2
Now we have the AirPlay 2 protocol and we can stream content between different devices simultaneously.
One of the great beneficiaries of the arrival of AirPlay 2 is the HomePod. Multiroom support is here for this device, so if you have two HomePod you can play the audio on them. This will create a stereo environment throughout the house.
Schoolwork and ClassKit for education:
The tools for education that were introduced in March along with the new iPad, are now available to all users. Now teachers and students have a tool to coordinate and manage classes.
ClassKit is the API for the development of educational apps, for the benefit of students and teachers.
Other minor improvements
- Improved security of iOS devices cancelling the connection and data transmission via USB, after a week of inactivity.
- A new wallpaper is available. This is the wallpaper that premiered with iPhone 8 (PRODUCT)RED. (There's no trace of it on the iPhone X.)
- Many small and internal changes that improve system security and stability.
If you want to update to this new version of iOS, you must have a device compatible with iOS 11 and go to the following path Settings /General/Software Update . There it will appear to you. If it doesn't appear, wait a few hours. It is being released gradually and it may not have reached you yet.
Greetings.
