iOS 11.4 was released, it brings stereo pairs and multi-room audio with AirPlay 2

The New iOS 11.4 Update Fixes several additional Bugs


              In addition to introducing support for Messages in iCloud, AirPlay 2, and stereo pairing for the HomePod, the new iOS 11.4 update, released this morning, introduces fixes for several high-profile bugs that have been plaguing iOS 11 users for months now. 

            Removed the "Black Dot Bug"

            The update addresses the "Black Dot" unicode bug that could crash apps on iOS devices with a specific character sequence involving certain emojis. Following the release of iOS 11.4, this particular sequence of characters will no longer cause apps like Messages to crash. 


           Apple says the update also successfully fixes an issue that caused iMessages to appear out of order on some devices, a frustrating bug that's been around for quite some time and has been the subject of many complaints.
        

            Home screen appear in the wrong location

           Often hovering out of place above other apps. This is another bug that received widespread attention given the high number of users who saw the problem occur. 


 A new multi-room audio system in iOS 11.4.

           HomePod now supports stereo pairs and multi-room audio with a free update to iOS 11.4.

           HomePod, the breakthrough wireless speaker from Apple, now delivers an even more immersive listening experience throughout the home with support for HomePod stereo pairs.

        iOS 11.4 makes it easy to control music playing in every room, on HomePod, Apple TV or any iOS device.
HomePod combines Apple-engineered audio technology and advanced software to set a new audio quality standard for a small speaker, delivering high-fidelity sound and a wide soundstage. Featuring a large, Apple-designed woofer for deep, clean bass, a custom array of seven beamforming tweeters that provide pure high frequency acoustics with incredible directional control and powerful technologies built right in, HomePod is able to preserve the richness and intent of the original recordings.

Messages in iCloud

     The iOS 11.4 update also introduces Messages in iCloud, a feature that has been in the works for several months and was first promised as an iOS 11 feature in June of 2017. Messages in iCloud is designed to store your iMessages in iCloud rather than on each individual device, allowing for improved syncing capabilities. 
         Older messages and attachments are also stored in iCloud rather than on device, saving valuable storage space across all of your Macs, iPhones, and iPads. 
  •     Store your messages, photos, and other attachments in iCloud and free up space on your devices.
  •     All your messages appear when you sign into a new device with the same iMessage account.   
  •     When you delete messages and conversations they are instantly removed from all your devices.     
  •      To turn on Messages in iCloud, enable Messages in iCloud settings (Settings > [your name] > iCloud) .

Other Additional bug fixes

There are several additional bug fixes included in iOS 11.4, as outlined below in Apple's release notes:
  • - Addresses an issue that could prevent logging in or accessing files on Google Drive, Google Docs and Gmail in Safari
  • - Fixes an issue that could prevent data syncing in Health
  • - Fixes an issue that could prevent users from changing what apps can access Health data .
  • - Fixes an issue where CarPlay audio could become distorted.
  • - Fixes an issue where selecting music from your iPhone could fail when playing music over Bluetooth or when connected to USB on some vehicles.     
  • - Enables teachers to assign their students reading activities in iBooks using the Schoolwork app.
Thank you 
for the reference from Apple and the macrumors.

Now Developer can change the home screen app icon with out an update Taking advantage of the iOS 10.3 SDK, developers can now use a new Instance method to specify the primary app icon as well as one or more alternate icons. iOS developer Steve Stroughton-Smith explained that apps must ask your permission before changing their icon By adding multiple app icons to an app, developers are able to change their app’s Home screen icon during promotional periods like holiday sales. Theoretically speaking, games can change their icon based on your progress while weather apps may show a different icon based on the current weather conditions. Bottom line: when iOS 10.3 releases, some iPhone, iPad and iPod touch apps may include multiple icon artwork and change their Home screen icon programmatically if certain conditions are met.
