Although iOS 11.2 update has not yet been officially released, it is still in beta, but there are some new features and bug fixes for iOS 11.1 added to this version. Many users think that some of the features in this list should be available from the first release of iOS 11 and a feature still lacking in iOS 11.2 is Messages in iCloud. We can hope this feature will be available in iOS 11.3 update.

1. Use Apple Pay Cash

On iOS 11.2, Apple users were finally able to use Apple Pay Cash for P2P payments.

4. Notice of explanation about Wifi, Bluetooth turned on in Control Center

Control Center in iOS 11 has been redesigned, but turning off Bluetooth and Wifi from the Control Center doesn't really disable them, other services can still be used. Now, with iOS 11.2, Apple added the explanation message about Bluethooth and Wifi when the user first turned it off. The announcement about this service will disconnect until tomorrow.

5. Bluetooth and Wifi color disabled new

Another confusing issue of the Bluetooth and Wifi buttons in the Control Center is that they are gray when "disconnected". This gray color is like the gray color that other buttons use to indicate that they are completely disabled. Now, to indicate that the user does not completely turn off Bluetooth and Wifi, the buttons will be white when turned off from Control Center and gray when turned off completely from the Settings application.

6. The 2017 iPhone has a fast wireless charging feature

Why would you want to use wireless charging if it's slower than charging with a cable? Yes, that question seems to have disappeared as soon as iOS 11.2 supports wireless charging at 7.5 watts instead of 5 watts. It's not as fast as the fast charging features of Samsung devices, but it's a significant improvement over Apple's first wireless charging feature. Of course, you will need a Qi with at least 7.5 watts output to take advantage of this.

7. Some emoji can be edited

Although there is no new emoji in iOS 11.2, there are a few features that change. As shown below, cameras, ants, glass cups, spoons and knives with emoji have changed a bit.

8. AirPlay 2

Like Apple Pay Cash, many people think that AirPlay 2 will be available in the first iOS 11 version, but until iOS 11.2 version is available. To take advantage of AirPlay 2, users need speakers or support devices such as speakers connected to Apple TV and HomePod not yet released by Apple. Once set up, you can add it in the AirPlay window from the Music app or the Control Center window.

With AirPlay 2, you can send audio to a number of different devices and control them individually from the same interface on the iPhone and can control audio with many iOS devices.

9. iPhone X phone has Control Center indicator

If you have an iPhone X, you might notice the small Control Center indicator when setting up the device for the first time. This indicator will disappear forever after stroking the Control Center, but in iOS 11.2, there is now a bar that prompts to swipe down the Control Center. For those who forget, it will probably be helpful. For others, there seems to be no way to disable it in addition to access to the Control Center.
