The apps don't 'run' in the background, they are put in to a sleep state. Apps that have background refresh on are the issue.

I don't have Background App Refresh on, and I'd manually killed all the apps from the switcher.

With iOS 11 how is your battery life compared to 10.3.3?

Mine seems terrible. Though, my last charge was using USB so that could be why. My iPhone 7 Plus used to lass easily two days!

Mines a bit worse.

Used to get home and have 72% or so charge, now it's in the 50's.

Now on the iOS 11 GM and the bluetooth connectivity in my car has returned

Happy days!

Why did apple remove the 3D swipe between apps?

Bluecube · 14 Sep 2017 at 19:44

I’ve no idea why they’ve removed it but I really like the new app picker. You can see the open apps much more clearly at a glance.

Sorry is this double clicking home button?? Doesn’t it look the same as before?

On the phones yes but not on iPads. Seems to me that most of the changes in IOS 11 are only visible on iPads. Or at least the most radicle changes.

Yes I agree iPad changes are great. Still doesn’t explain why removed the 3D swipe. Must be something to do with iPhone X

Really happy with the changes of iOS11. Feels very polished.

Working great on my ip7+ & iPad Pro.

That's the thing, they should've given an option, or toggle to use it.

Does anyone have issues saving media from WhatsApp? I have save incoming media turned off because I get sent videos and meme's all day long, but sometimes I want to save stuff I'm sent. Since iOS 11, I try and save it but it never appears in Photos. If I then close WhatsApp and Photos, open WhatsApp again and then save, it finally saves but I have 2 copies of the image. I can recreate it every time.

Think you'll be stuck waiting for WhatsApp to do an iOS11 compatibility upgrade, they don't usually show up in the App Store until the official iOS release day, sometimes even weeks after depending on the developer.

I thought that may be the case, thanks.

I just saved a picture out of WhatsApp and it appeared in my Photos straight away. That’s on the iOS 11 GM

That's because WhatsApp turns that on as default, turn it off quick as it's a pain in the arse flicking through holiday snaps and coming across the double anal fisting video your mate posted in the group chat 8 weeks ago.

ChrisD. · 18 Sep 2017 at 09:41

I know it's on by default, that's why I turned it off. What my issue is, is that I have difficulty saving WhatsApp media to Photos. It seems to have sorted itself out though.

This seems a lot faster on my 10” Pro than 10. Really liking it so far....

UberTiger · 18 Sep 2017 at 15:49

Anyone tried this on an original 6 Plus yet?

If so, any slowdown at all?

squerble · 19 Sep 2017 at 09:05

Plenty of app updates streaming through today! The only app I've seen with any sort of design change so far is "Parcel", which is a package tracking app. Matches iOS 11 quite well now.
