iOS 17.1 With AirDrop, StandBy Upgrades Rolling Out Now: Check Out Compatible iPhone Models & How To Download

Apple iOS 17.1 Update: The latest OS is compatible with a handful of iPhone models, dating back to the iPhone XR/XS series.

Apple has started rolling out iOS 17.1, a follow-up to the recent release of iOS 17. This latest update is primarily aimed at resolving specific issues, with a notable focus on addressing regulatory concerns in France regarding the iPhone 12. It is generally advised to update your Apple devices regularly to ensure smooth functioning and more importantly, safeguarding against data leaks and attacks. 

iOS 17.1: What's New

Flashlight Indicator Expanded: In this update, Dynamic Island now displays a flashlight indicator while the flashlight is in use on all iPhone models equipped with this feature, as reported by Macrumors. These models encompass the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Improved AirDrop Functionality: The latest update introduces an exciting addition to AirDrop — the "Out of Range" feature. This new functionality enables users to send and receive files even when their devices are not in close proximity, utilizing either Wi-Fi or cellular data connections.

Music App Enhancement: With iOS 17.1, users now have the option to star-mark any song, album, playlist, or artist, allowing them to save their selections directly to their library.
