Today we’ll talk in detail about the iOS 8 mobile platform, reviews of which are very diverse. This operating system was introduced along with the announcement of the iPhone 6 and 6+.
Alerts
Our conversation about the iOS 8 notification center overview will begin. It now has two tabs - "Notifications" and "Today." The first displays the current date and widgets that are set by the user. The second shows notifications pre-sorted according to applications. As for this innovation in iOS 8, user reviews most often confirm that such a simplification has become useful for the system, because now the status bar can be used with increased efficiency.The bottom panel
The iOS 8 update affected primarily the appearance of this element. Among other things, the switch buttons when turned on have become less transparent. Not everyone likes this change, but it did not cause much criticism.
A new kind of tool
The talk about the iOS 8 widget review will continue. It was in this version of the platform that they were first fully implemented. If we compare this element with a similar solution on the Android operating system, it should be noted that in our case widgets are not located within the boundaries of the desktop, but in a special status bar, which was already mentioned above. You can call both concepts convenient in their own way. A number of new applications have appeared that support the function of widgets, among them Yahoo Weather deserves special attention.Multitasking
If you install the iOS 8 update, with a double click on the bottom button, in addition to the list of applications, contacts will also be displayed. We can say that two horizontal menus “Recent” and “Favorites” are implemented. By clicking on a contact, you can call him, make a call using FaceTime or send SMS. This approach is a good alternative for contact shortcuts in the Android OS.
We find
From now on, if you need to find certain information on the Internet, the Spotlight tool will automatically open Safari, where a page of the specified Wikipedia or Google request appears. The developers claim that the innovative system will help to find the desired item in iTunes and the App Store. Whether it will be a local or international function, time will tell. However, music search works fine.iPhone: IOS 8

Other innovations
While viewing a contact, you can now see the attachments that the user exchanged with the recipient, and vice versa. To this end, scroll down the page. From now on, the keyboard supports special predictive input, in other words, based on the style of correspondence, recommends the next word for use. There are also problems with this iOS 8 function, since the described feature is not implemented for the Russian language. Maybe this omission will be corrected. There was a possibility of voice input of the text that it worked, it is necessary to activate Siri. The function works well, it supports commas and periods. In the "Camera" the function "Timer" is added, with which you can select the delayed shooting with one click.. . . . , , . Health – , . , , .
