Apple released iOS 11.1 with hundreds of new emoji for iPhone and iPad

Bring on the new emoji!

Apple's just released iOS 11.1, and it's packed with more than 70 new emoji, including new gender-neutral characters, animals, mythical creatures, Halloween emoji (just in time!), and the sure-to-be-a-new-favorite "swearing" face.

The update also brings a number of fixes, including the return of using 3D Touch on the left edge of your screen to open up the app switcher. Apple previously said it intentionally removed this feature from iOS because it was causing issues with the system.

And, of course, there are the usual security patches to keep your device as secure as possible.

If you've got iOS 11 installed on a supported iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, definitely go and update, if only just for the new emoji.

To update, go the Settings app > General > Software Update.
