Apple Seeds Second Beta of iOS 11.4.1 to Public Beta Testers

Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming iOS 11.4.1 update to its public beta testing group, one week after releasing the first public beta and one day after seeding the beta to developers.

Beta testers who are members of Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 11.4.1 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on an iOS device.

Those who want to join the beta testing program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, and tvOS betas. iOS betas are not always stable and should not be installed on a primary device.

There were no notable features discovered in iOS 11.4.1 in the first two developer betas, suggesting it focuses on bug fixes and other minor improvements.

iOS 11.4.1 will be one of the final updates to the iOS 11 operating system now that Apple is shifting its focus to iOS 12.

HA have you used iOS 11? If so then that should answer your question :) It needs all the help it can get! Each fix is a welcomed one.

There are still soooooo many bugs with ios 11. It has 3ish months left of life before ios12 comes out so they should definitely keep fixing bugs.
