The update follows iOS version 11.0.1, which was pushed out last week to fix an issue that prevented some users with Microsoft email accounts from sending messages.

You can expect more incremental updates down the line from Apple to solve small issues as they arise, which is common with a big new release like iOS 11, as it's adopted by more of the iPhone-using public. If you want the best experience using the software, be sure to keep your phone updated.
