The iOS 11 came along with the introduction of the new iPhone X and iPhone 8, bearing great expectations from iUsers of a new fancy experience. However, a new security iOS bug has just been discovered. Such a turn-off, right? Let’s find out what the issue is, and how severely it attacks your iPhone.

iOS 11 bug: affecting your photo gallery – and more

iOS 11 was announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference on June 5, 2017. Its beta version was released on September 19, 2017. Many advanced features have been introduced and we can name some for you here: the customizable Control Center, 3D touch integration, more updates for Siri, drag and drop for any content from app to app (this helps with your multitasking), new keyboard features and searchable handwriting as well as scanned images.  Camera now supports automatic QR Code scan; you do not need a third party app to scan the code anymore. In addition, Facetime is also upgraded. If both users are in iOS 11, they can record a shot of Live Photo as well.

However, the launch, numerous issues have been reported. Users experienced lagged transition in some main views. Excessive battery usage is also one the commonly reported problems. The merging of Notification and Controlling Board into one Control Center also made it harder for users to work with. Though the icons are not hard to figure out, the distance between them is just too small. The user experience is much better on iPad: Apple brought the dock to iPad, which made it closer to MacOS ever. It seems that Apple is being pretty ambitious in promoting iPad to be the new Macbook.

One of the worst bugs to be reported is that your photos can be easily accessed even if the phone is locked with a passcode and fingerprint ID. This bug was discovered by a Youtube channel named iDeviceHelp. You can turn on Siri, ask for the phone number in use. Then repeat several steps as instructed and voila, you can access to the Pictures and more.

iOS 11 bug: significantly disappointing

iUsers are expecting a patch for this. While waiting for Apple’s solution, it is pretty uncomfortable to know that people can easily get access to your private pictures in the phone. Have a look at the video below to have a clear understanding over the issue
