Apple will be releasing the iOS 8.1 update to iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches on Monday October 20 to coincide with the launch of Apple Pay in the US. For other countries without Apple Pay capabilities, the update will enable a number of enhancements and features that will allow iOS 8 devices to use some of the Continuity and Handoff features coming to OS X Yosemite (available for free today) and iOS. iOS 8.1 will bring back the Camera Roll as well as a beta of  a beta of iCloud Photo Library.

iOS 8.1 is available through iTunes or as an over-the-air (OTA) update for all devices that can run iOS 8: the iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, 5S, 6, and 6 Plus; all iPads aside from the first-generation model; the fifth-generation iPod Touch; and the third-generation Apple TV. SMS Handoff will also be enabled via the updated. The following iOS 8 Continuity features are not available in Canada:

  • Spotlight for movies
