iOS 17.1 won’t introduce the Journal app
This update also comes with bug fixes, addressing issues like search problems in Messages and persistent images on the new iPhone 15 models.
The Cupertino-based tech giant Apple is set to release iOS 17.1, iPadOS 17.1, macOS Sonoma 14.1, tvOS 17.1, watchOS 10.1, and HomePod Software 17.1 updates to the public today. These updates are expected to become available at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (10:30 pm IST).
According to MacRumors, the company recently provided release candidates (RCs) for their upcoming software updates, which typically undergo a week of testing to catch any critical issues. This time, the roll out date is confirmed due to a specific feature in iOS 17.1 for iPhone 12 models in France.
