Less than two weeks after the release of the first betas, Apple has just released new test versions of iOS 11.1 (compilation 15B5078e), from macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 (17B35a), from watchOS 4.1 (15R5835d) and the tvOS 11.1 (15J5571d) for developers.
Among them, iOS 11 has received two minor updates since iOS 11.0.1 and iOS 11.0.2 since its original release, while macOS High Sierra has received a Supplemental Update.
Obviously, by the numbering of these new versions we can expect even more significant improvements, in addition to some new features here and there, such as the ones we covered in the first betas post. IOS, macOS and watchOS are also coming with hundreds of new emojis.
If more relevant things come up in these second betas, we will update this post telling you everything.
In addition to the developers, members of the Apple Beta Software Program should receive the new builds for iOS 11.1, macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 and tvOS 11.1 very soon. WatchOS is the only system that does not participate in this open testing program from Apple.

As several readers have commented (and celebrated) below, the gesture to activate system multitasking through 3D Touch (by lightly pressing your finger on the left edge of the screen and dragging it to the center) is back for once in this second beta of iOS 11.1.
It had already appeared in the first test version of the update, but it worked intermittently and only on some devices. Now, it seems that the thing came back in general, really.
So Craig Federighi keeps his promise and we are all happy. May he never move again!
Update II, by Bruno Santana 10/09/2017 s 17:10
Another novelty in the second beta of the systems this time, in watchOS 4.1. Who informs Zac Hall, from 9to5Mac:
watchOS 4.1 beta 2 adds a Wi-Fi toggle to Control Center (up to 11 tiles now) can test LTE at home! https://t.co/cjOhLuPfll pic.twitter/7JOh5mfBVe

WatchOS 4.1 beta 2 adds a Wi-Fi Central Control switch (now up to 11 blocks). D to test LTE at home!
The novelty comes at a good time especially after the news that the Apple Watch with LTE was having problems connecting to Wi-Fi networks the clock would connect to any unprotected network that was in range, decreasing its effectiveness; the error, however, has already been corrected. It is now possible to easily turn off Wi-Fi as a whole to enjoy the cellular network.
