iOS-9.1-release-notes.jpg
Apple has been working on the iOS 9.1 update for quite some time. After four very stable beta releases, Apple has finally decided to release the final build on Wednesday.

iOS 9.1 is now available to the public and includes numerous bug fixes alongside a few new features. All iOS 9.1 users will now be able to use over 150 new emoji, including the sought after middle finger.

iPhone 6S and 6S Plus users receive a bit of an improvement to the Live Photos feature. When taking a Live Photo, the iPhone will no longer record before or after when the phone is being raised.

Here's the full change log for iOS 9.1:
  • Live Photos now intelligently senses when you raise or lower your iPhone, so that Live Photos will automatically not record these movements
  • Over 150 new emoji characters with full support for Unicode 7.0 and 8.0 emojis
  • Improved stability including CarPlay, Music, Photos, Safari, and Search
  • Improved performance while in Multitasking UI
  • Fixes an issue that could cause Calendar to become unresponsive in Month view
  • Fixes an issue that prevented Game Center from launching for some users
  • Resolves an issue that zoomed the content of some apps
  • Resolves an issue that could cause an incorrect unread mail count for POP mail accounts
  • Fixes an issue that prevented users from removing recent contacts from new mail or messages
  • Fixes an issue that caused some messages to not appear in Mail search results
  • Resolves an issue that left a gray bar in the body of an Audio Message
  • Fixes an issue that caused activation errors on some carriers
  • Fixes an issue that prevented some apps from updating from the App Store
iOS 9.1 is available to download now via iTunes or Over The Air update. To update just open up the Settings app on your iOS device, tap General, and then Software Update.
