Apple today released iOS and iPadOS 13.1, the first iOS 13 operating system update launched in mid-September. The new iOS 13.1 update comes a few days after the release of "iOS 13" and coincides with the launch of new iPhones.

The iOS 13.1 update is available on all eligible devices in OTA mode in the Settings application. To access the update, go to Settings> General> Software Update.

Apple started testing iOS 13.1 before launching iOS 13, which was a surprise because the company had never released a one-time update for new software before.

Given the first tests done by Apple, it's not surprising that iOS 13.1 comes soon after iOS 13 becomes available for download. It should be noted that iOS 13.1 is the first version of "iOS 13" available for the 7th generation iPod touch.

iOS 13.1 is an update that brings back many of the features that were removed during the iOS 13 beta test. Shortcuts Automations, for example, are back.

With automations in the ShortCuts application, you can create personal and home automations with the help of the ShortCuts application to perform certain actions when specific conditions occur. This is a powerful tool that adds a lot of utility to the application Shortcuts.

Share ETA, a feature removed during beta testing, allows users to share their estimated time of arrival with a friend or family member, allowing this friend or family to track the trip.

The volume indicator has been changed in iOS 13.1. If some headphones or audio devices are connected (AirPod, Powerbeats Pro, HomePod, and Beats), special indicators have a unique icon for your listening device. There is also a special icon when two headphones are connected to an iPhone or iPad.

The update incorporates the audio sharing feature introduced in "iOS 13" to all Beats headphones with an H1 and W1 chip, expanding it to "AirPods" and "Powerbeats Pro". The audio sharing, as its name indicates, makes it possible to connect several headphones to a single iPhone.

The HomeKit icons have been redesigned in iOS 13.1, with much more detailed and realistic designs. There are new reading goal options for PDF, a change to the Nike brand (this is no longer Nike +) and several other small changes described in our article about treats.
