iOS 11.0.1 was seeded to the general public the morning of September 26, exactly one week after iOS 11.0.0 was officially released.

iOS 11.0.1 is most importantly a security update, but also provides bug fixes to enhance the user experience of the operating system. While Apple did not disclose the specific security threats that iOS 11.0.1 patches, we do know of at least one particular problem iOS 11.0.1 addresses: an issue with the Mail app sending e-mails using Exchange/Outlook servers.

According to ArsTechnica, “the Exchange e-mail server bug that prevented sending e-mails for many users relying on e-mail accounts hosted on Outlook.com, Office 365, or certain Exchange Server 2016 configurations,” has been fixed. Before the update, “users received an error message saying, ‘Cannot Send Mail. The message was rejected by the server.'”

If you’ve experienced issues with your Mail app, sending or receiving e-mail, it’s important to update to the latest version of iOS.

Beyond the most recent update, iOS 11 adds a revamped Control Center with customizable shortcuts and a new Lock screen that’s been merged with the Notification Center. The next-gen software also adds several upgrades to Siri, including a completely new voice that is much more natural-sounding. Additionally, iOS 11 will introduce a real-time translation feature and other hefty upgrades to the digital assistant. It also marks the general release of ARKit, meaning that iOS 11 is now the largest augmented reality platform in the world. Other additions include a slew of updates to native apps, a Do Not Disturb While Driving mode, and built-in screen recording.
