Apple Seeds First Beta of iOS 12.1.1 to Public Beta Testers With FaceTime Improvements

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming iOS 12 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-12/).1.1 update to its public beta testing group, one day (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/10/31/apple-seeds-first-beta-of-ios-12-1-1/) after seeding the same beta to developers and two days after the release of the iOS 12.1 update (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/10/30/apple-releases-ios-12-1/).





Beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program (https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/) will receive the <!---->iOS 12<!---->.1.1 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on an iOS device.

Those who want to join the beta testing program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, and tvOS betas.





The <!---->iOS 12<!---->.1.1 update introduces some significant improvements to the FaceTime interface, and it re-adds the feature that's designed to let you take a Live Photo while on a FaceTime call.





In <!---->iOS 12<!---->.1.1, FaceTime features a reworked bottom bar that includes quick access buttons for muting a call and flipping the camera. Sliding up on the bottom bar brings up additional options with conversation participants.





Previously, FaceTime users were required to tap on three dots to access a secondary menu with these features.





The update also includes a new option in the Apple News (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-news/) app that lets you hide the side bar if desired.
