    Apple releases iOS 9.1, watchOS 2.0.1

    Apple releases iOS 9.1, watchOS 2.0.1

    Apple has officially released iOS 9.1 to the public. After going through a very rapid developer beta cycle following the major release of iOS 9.0, this latest update is primarily a maintenance release with fixes for Apple’s new Live Photos feature on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus — which now uses the accelerometer to avoid capturing frames when you raise or lower your iPhone — as well as more than 150 new emoji characters available in the iOS keyboard. Additional fixes highlighted in the release notes include improved stability for CarPlay, Music, Photos, Safari, and Search, improved performance in the Multitasking UI, and fixes related to Calendar, Game Center, Mail, recent contacts, carrier activation errors, and App Store app updates. The new version also adds new APIs for developers to allow displaying and sharing Live Photos in third-party apps. As usual, iOS 9.1 is available either as an over-the-air update or by updating via iTunes on a Mac or PC.

    Apple has also released watchOS 2.0.1, a more minor maintenance update for its Apple Watch operating system that adds the new emoji characters from iOS 9.1 and fixes a number of issues with software updates, battery performance, syncing calendar events, location services, sending messages via Digital Touch, and using Live Photos as watch faces.
