Apple iOS 10.1.1 Is Now Available: What Is Included In The Update?

Apple has released iOS 10.1.1 to the general public today. The iOS 10.1.1 update comes one week after iOS 10.1 was released. The reason why Apple quickly issued this software update is because it fixes a bug that Forbes contributor Gordon Kelly reported exclusively last week. Apple declined to reply to requests to acknowledge the bug until now. You can install iOS 10.1.1 by connecting your device to iTunes or downloading it by going to Settings > General > Software Update. The iOS 10.1.1 update is available for the following devices: iPhone 5 and later, iPad 4th generation and later and iPod touch 6th generation and later.
What Is Included In The Update?
The software update is relatively small at under 70MB, which indicates that it is a minor update with a few bug fixes. There weren’t any betas of iOS 10.1.1 either. And the changelog of the iOS 10.1.1 software update says: “This update fixes bugs including an issue where Health data could not be viewed for some users.” 
There were many complaints about health data not being visible following the iOS 10.1.1 update within the Apple Communities forumso it is a relief that Apple turned around a fix in a short amount of time:
And Forbes contributor Gordon Kelly said that he was contacted by many people directly “with stories of hours spent on the phone to Apple tech support, all without resolution.” Many Twitter users also said that they attempted to reboot and factory reset the devices, but the Health app data did not reappear:
iOS 10.1 was somewhat of a major update. iOS 10.1 included a “Portrait” mode, which helps make the most out of the dual cameras in the iPhone 7 Plus. The Portrait camera mode essentially utilized the wide-angle and telephoto iPhone 7 lenses in a way to create portraits with depth effects. This makes the subjects of the photos look sharp while also creating blurred backgrounds, known as “bokeh” effects. iOS 10.1 also included Transit directions for Apple Maps in Japan. And iOS 10.1 also added a “Reduce Motion” setting for the Bubble and Screen effects in the Messages app.
Did you experience Health app data errors with iOS 10.1? Have you upgraded to iOS 10.1.1? Please leave a comment about your experiences with iOS 10.1 and above!

Lead Your Team Into a Post-Pandemic World

During the Covid-19 crisis, I’ve spoken with many CEOs who have shared that a key priority for them, naturally, has been the safety and well-being of their employees. And there are many examples of inspiring actions taken by CEOs and companies in support of their employees. But as we’ve come to recognize that this crisis will last more than a few short weeks, companies are now defining their approach for the long haul. I’ve seen two crucial ideas take hold with corporate leaders. One: Given the magnitude of the shock and the challenges that this crisis represents, companies must consider the full breadth of their employees’ needs as people. Safety is essential, of course, but it’s also important to address higher-level needs such as the want for truth, stability, authentic connections, self-esteem, growth, and meaning in the context of the crisis. Two: Many CEOs have begun thinking about this crisis in three phases. They may assign different names or specific lengths to t
