A little more than a week after releasing iOS 10 to the public, Apple has just seeded a new beta version of the software. Registered developers can now download iOS 10.1 over-the-air or through Apple’s Developer Center.

Also arriving today is the first beta version of Apple’s watchOS 3.1 and tvOS 10.0.1.

So far, the major addition in iOS 10.1 seems to be the Portrait mode for iPhone 7 Plus users. Demonstrated at the special media event earlier this month, the feature will automatically blur out the background while keeping the subject in focus. The look is also known as the bokeh effect.

We’ll keep you updated if we find any other major new features in any of the new software.
