iOS 11.4 is officially here with new features and improvements for Apple's most popular devices. iOS 11.4 is a smaller update than iOS 11.3, however it still packs plenty of worthwhile features. Continue reading to learn about five of the biggest changes in iOS 11.4.

5 Messages in iCloud

Messages in iCloud allows you to store your iMessages in a centralized place (iCloud), which ultimately means conversations will be synced beautifully across all of your devices.

Messages you delete on your iPhone, will also be deleted on your Mac, etc. Users who prefer to keep their digital life tidy will love this feature.

To set it up, head over to Settings > Tap your Apple ID > iCloud  > Toggle on Messages > Go to the Home screen > Open Messages and follow the onscreen prompts.

4 New Wallpaper

Apple's Product(RED) iPhone 8 and 8 Plus feature a unique wallpaper that's now available to use on all iOS devices.

You can head over to Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper > Stills and find it in the fourth row.

Or simply save the image above to your camera roll, and set it as your wallpaper from within the Photos app.

3 AirPlay 2, HomePod Stereo

AirPlay 2 allows for multi-room audio playback. Now users are able to play music in individual rooms, or in different rooms simultaneously.

Users can now ask Siri to play music in whichever room they'd like, as long as those speakers support AirPlay 2.

iOS 11.4 also adds HomePod stereo support, meaning HomePods can be paired together for multi-channel audio playback.

2 ClassKit Support

ClassKit makes it easy for teachers to manage students, and students to manage their assignments within the Schoolwork application for iPad.

According to Apple, ClassKit can "help teachers discover assignable activities... take students directly to the right activity with a single tap, and securely and privately share progress data with teachers to help them personalize instruction."
