iOS 8 Who has it?
 
I used to be able to delete individual texts in iOS 7, but see no way to do it with the new upgrade. The procedure works the same but no 'trash can' pops up. Anybody know how to do it?? That is THE most important feature to me!

and the new photo albums SUCK...

nevermind.. I did a reboot and it appeared and the old way works now again. The first of many glitches I'm sure..

I've learned to wait a week.

Downloading now, says four hours. Their servers must be slammed.

I updated today via the prompts. Took 10 minutes. I don't know what's different other than a few minor tips. I can still make phone calls and send email and text and use Waze, so all is good.

I installed it last night. The new text prompt spell checker guessing feature is going to take a while to get used to.

I like audio text and the text helpers while I type this. Apparently there is issues with HealthKit so it wasn't included....I am most happy our Mdm client doesn't require location services to wake up and checkin it can now do a background app refresh. Still looking at how to enable cross application integration.

I haven't installed yet, but I hear that Swype is now an option if you've got IOS8. That's the best reason to upgrade!

I've already disabled that feature. I couldn't stand it. It twice a s long to write a text because you had to look through all the words to see if one was there that you wanted. It's just easier the old way when it spell checked you.


And did I mention that the photo albums SUCK?? I hate that all my pictures aren't available in one place anymore. Takes forever to find something now.

I have it on my iPad and iPhone. I like being able to swipe to tag emails, otherwise have not dug into new feature. BTW, if you install through itunes it is much faster than through iOS directly. Easier to delete stuff through iTunes to make some space for the 1Gb download too. Kept my free U2 album though :D

Underwhelming. Ios7 was a nice bump. iOS 8 only has one feature I like this far. Flagging certain emails so it notifies you when there is a response.

Best iOS 8 features

I'm still on 6.

Installed it on our iPad2 yesterday. Have not really tested it yet.

Staying on 7.1.2 for now. I'll upgrade if a jailbreak comes out for 8 before 7.1.2 (and I don't trust that Chinese one that's floating around now so I don't count it)

Change for change's sake.

The whole IT world buys into that idiotic mentality. Once in a while something actually gets better but it's the exception rather than the rule.

Amen brother! I just bought a new laptop with Windows 8.1.......sigh. Somebody desperately needs to reign in the IT guys and software engineers, because all of these new operating systems just reek of engineers gone wild. There needs to be a common sense filter that I'm just not seeing, be it on Apple or Microsoft.

Downloading as we speak. I was shocked when I tried to do it via wi-fi when it told me I needed 4.6 megs of free space--so I plugged in to my computer and am downloading it through i-tunes instead.

Stay tuned.

Ditto. I heard too many horror stories about 7 and don't have enough space left for 8. I liked 5 the best.
