However, it will apparently AirPlay 2 included iOS 11.4, because the function appeared in the first beta green iOS 11.4, which is currently only available to developers.

Messages on iCloud
In January, we informed you that the option to save Messages on iCloud will bring iOS 11.3, because the feature was part of beta version. Apple however, the function at the last minute from iOS 11.3 removed it, but it reappeared in the first beta green iOS 11.4.
The system allows you to save Messages on iCloud and sync them across all the Apple devices you own. This will allow you to back up your old messages and, most importantly, sync them seamlessly across all your devices. So, for example, if you buy a new iPhone, you won't need to restore it from a backup for messages, as they will be uploaded to it after you log in to iCloudIt also works the same way, so if you delete a message on one device, it will be deleted from all other devices.
HomePod gets stereo support
After the Californian giant introduced HomePod promised that a future software update would bring stereo support. Several updates have been released, but none of them have brought stereo pairing, which could be in the future. iOS 11.4 konechange it.
With the new feature, you will be able to create two HomePods truly a great music experience. All you need is two Apple smart speakers, which when paired will achieve true stereo sound.

ClassKit and Schoolwork
The latest news is more interesting for the USA and the countries where it is Apple more widespread in education than in our country. This is a ClassKit developer mode, which is used primarily in schools. Thanks to it, application developers can program their programs so that students send solutions to a certain task from their iPhones or iPads via iCloud directly to the teacher. The teacher will then check and grade the solution.

This is what 11.3 gave me with the phone icon, I'm starting to fear the others #SE
My favorite bugs (6s):
Also funny, I've had the black icon for 3 days now and it doesn't seem like it wants to turn black
A reboot helps
If you haven't done a clean install in years, then there's nothing to be surprised about. I recommend using a computer and a backup on icloud not in the computer and downloading 11.3 to the computer and then downloading it there via itunes.
Patrik Kindernay, that's a lot of nonsense, for the years I've had apple never updated via itunes and never any bug.from 4S to 8 and ipad too
