Apple today released the public build of iOS 9.1, the first major update to Apple’s latest mobile operating system since it launched in early September.
The update is currently available to iOS 9 users via an over-the-air update and is the third update to iOS 9 released so far (the two previous updates were versions 9.0.1 and 9.0.2).
iOS 9.1 introduces a range of new emoji, including a taco, burrito, cheese wedge, champagne bottle and the all important middle finger.
The operating system update also includes an update to Live Photos that enables the iPhone to sense when it’s raised or lowered, preventing the smartphone from recording unnecessary movements, a problem some users have cited with the new feature.
In terms of other new additions, the update adds a messages option in contacts that allows users to disable photos in contacts lists. Aside from these updates, iOS 9.1 also adds device compatibility with Apple’s upcoming fourth-generation Apple TV and the iPad Pro, as well as a number of minor bug fixes.
To download the update to your iOS device, navigate to Settings, General, and then Software Update. iOS 9.1 comes in around 310MB.
