Apple releases iOS 11.3.1

Apple released iOS 11.3.1 for iPads & iPhones today.  You can find out more about this release at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208743.

This is considered a minor update.  The IT group recommends that students and staff hold off on updating but it will not be an issue if iOS devices are updated.
