I mainly do too, but I get the notifications primarily on my Apple Watch. So this morning, for example, my wife and I both did not get a daily Reminder that we each have set for every morning. It just totally skipped it.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 14 Wishlist

I really want screenshot buttons to be volume + power on phones with home button. There’s no need to have two seperate ways to screenshot and the way new iPhones with notch do it is just way more convenient and ergonomic.
Definitely agree. Anything that can be done the same should be the same across all models.
Fix the damn facetime crash bug on iphone 7 plus, that you apple made with the 13.4.1 update. This is getting ridiculous all ready and it has been 2 months. Basically i can use my frontal camera only in the regular camera app, 3 party apps that use camera keep on crashing. Really annoying to carry my old iphone just to facetime or to use snapchat.
This is some good stuff!

I would like to see a better Adblock that blocks all adds even on apps and games
There is one...it’s called “pay for the app so you don’t have ads”. It actually works real well.

Yes but you can’t pay for all apps like Facebook and the Daily mail news app
Well...you are “paying” for those then...just in another way.
You need to go into Facebook settings then. I stopped nearly all of mine, but it was more for Instagram as you have to do that through a Facebook settings as well. It did take a while to turn everything off and de-select some settings from every company I have ever followed/liked.
Plus the swing of pricing on apps is insane. I've seen anywhere from $0.99 to $14.99 to stop ads, and some are even worse with unreasonable subs.
So...don’t use the apps then.
App developers (for the most part) don’t create apps for kicks; they’re trying to make a living. If people won’t pay them directly, then they need to monetize their efforts somehow. It wasn’t all that long ago that you would have to pay $50, $100 or even $200 for a quality PC application. Now, we get all of that for free or a nominal charge.
I think I am willing to put up with a few ads as a trade off.
After all of the aggravating issues that I personally had and still have across multiple devices with the 2020 OS versions I just want iOS 14 to be one thing: Less buggy. Basically another release like iOS 12 (less features, focus on stability and performance).
Hiya.

Been around for many years.
My wish is for massive improvements to QuickPath (i.e. Swype for iOS). The word recognition algorithm is, quite frankly, terrible.
I get “in” vs “on” every...single...time... “Tot” vs “you” (how often do people type “tot”, really?).
This seems true with Apple’s typing prediction algorithms in general in iOS 13.
Ken Kocienda had predictive typing down to a science in iPhoneOS 1, so I’m not sure why the backslide on this?

Maybe he’s referring to a built in one...and I think the “only answer for names in contacts” feature introduced in iOS13 handles that pretty well.
I am really happy with iOS at the moment, apart from mail which was broken a while back and they seem unable to fix. I wish it would download emails in the background so that when I opened the email app they were already there to be read, and it really annoys me when they appear in the wrong date/time order.
Swipe up gestures for back button and multitasking like on Samsungs One UI. Its the one thing I truely miss from my S8, being able to easiy swipe up to go back.
Interestingly this seems to be a Samsung only solution, as on vanilla Android 10 the back gesture comes in from the side which is a nice concept but would cause me to constantly archive/delete/etc whatever was on my screen depending on the situation.
-------------------
Contact Silos so that I can only share certain contacts with certain apps. I basically would like to give apps like Whatsapp as little info as possbile, they can have access to a select few contacts not the whole thing (yes I know its probably too late anyway)
-------------------
Dual Apps to help splitting up work and personal stuff, or managing multiple accounts and numbers with things like WhatsApp.
-------------------
A long shot would be a Samsung Dex equivilent. It seems to have had a luke-warm reception on Samsungs and it probably would be the same on iOS, but I love the idea of just plugging my phone into a dock or a 'laptop' and using it as a desktop machine. Now that ipads have mouse and keyboard support, and apps can scale to different size devices, maybe its not such a crazy idea.

I'd much rather just have apps have a flat fee like they used to instead of all this IAP/sub stuff. And I won't use them if forced apps are out of control, and the no ads is over $5 depending on how good the game is.
On improvements to accessibility specifically in iOS 14 there are a lot of features and improvements needed to ensure iOS 14 is as accessible as possible to people with severe physical disabilities.
1) Better Voice Control and dictation - support for UK English, and a beefed-up Siri speech-to-text engine,
2) Smarter Siri - the ability to use a Siri voice command to end/hang up a phone call e.g. "Hey Siri end call"
3) Ability to answer calls with a voice command “Hey Siri Answer”
4) Auto Answer - ability to toggle the Auto-Answer feature on and off with a Siri voice command, (you can most accessibility features but not this one strangely) and use it in Shortcuts e.g. you put your Airpods in your ears and automatically the Auto-Answer feature is enabled and vice versa
5) Accessibility menu - the ability to make the hierarchy of the accessibility menu completely customisable to the user’s own disability.
6) Announce Messages with Siri - will become more useful when other messaging services, such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, become integrated. Apple needs to release a API
If some of these features can be implemented in iOS 14 it will go a long way to make the iPhone truly accessible to people who have problems handling the iPhone and touching the screen because of severe physical disability, and need to do more with their voice. I think they would also be popular with a lot of people generally.

The problem is people scream about paying even 99 cents for an app. We’ve created expectations for most users that expensive-to-create powerful applications will cost them absolutely nothing. Except, they don’t cost nothing to create.
