Dan Pražák Just a week after the release of the sharp version of iOS 13, Apple comes with its improved primary version in the form of iOS 13.1. The new system is available for regular users and mainly brings bug fixes and some interesting improvements. For example, Apple interestingly improved the AirDrop function on the new iPhone 11, added the automation of shortcuts in the application of the same name, and now also allows sharing the arrival time in its maps.
You can download the new iOS 13.1 in Settings -> In general -> Software update. For the iPhone 11 Pro, the installation package is 506,5 MB in size. The update can be installed on devices compatible with iOS 13, i.e. iPhone 6s and all newer (including iPhone SE) and iPod touch 7th generation.
