iOS 7: All The Little Things! (Featuring iOS 7.1)

[glitch82]

despite having owned every model of iphone and countless tens of thousands of unlock swipes, with the first arrowless betas, i frequently found that i was mistakenly swiping from right-to-left as though the homepage was on the right side of the lockscreen and i was swiping to move over there.

Then every time i gave my phone to my son, he'd try to unlock it by swiping up (even though he has an iphone as well and should know better) since the control center icon used to be an up arrow.

So, personally, i'm glad the arrow and dashes are there

+1

Does anyone know if it's possible to delete a song in the music app that's been downloaded from iTunes Match? In iOS 6, you used to be able to swipe to remove it but don't seem to have that option anymore in iOS 7. FWIW I'm on beta 6.

I remember being able to do this in iOS 5 but I can't do it on iOS 6 right now so I doubt it's been brought back in 7.

Swipe to the left on the song and the "delete" button comes up.

So are we gonna have a 7th beta?

I can say with complete certainty that we either will have a 7th beta or we will not. The oracle has spoken.

It feels less likely at this point we're going to but I just hope that they get my few remaining bugs worked out before GM!

I asked because I didn't had Internet for two weeks and I was kind of lost about the ios 7 beta updates.

Almost certainly not, as GM is in 9 days. They'll be finalising the code for this, then if there's any show stopping bugs in GM, we'll get another GM

It alredy does this

...sorry but actually it does not currently do this.

If you enter the date of birth (including the year) on a contact in the 'Birthday' field within the Contacts app, on the Calendar, it only shows a little present icon and says Martin's Birthday (for example) - it does not show the person's age unless you sync your device with a mac - which I do not have.........!!!

iOS 7 DOES currently do this...and I don't even own a MAC.

Just checked on the iPad I am typing on and birthday ages are actually shown. What a great feature.


EDIT: Just did a test..happy birthday to John Smith today!

If you read the 'guide' Dino F posted (Adding Birthdays to iPhone) to the end, you would've known:

"If you enter the contact’s birth year and sync with the Mac version of Calendar, the person’s age will show up in Calendar (example, “Anne’s 36th Birthday”). The person’s age does not show up in the iPhone/iPad Calendar app, however."​

[EDIT] Although it doesn't seem to work on my MBP...

....hmm - that's weird because according to Jigs's post above - you need to sync with the Mac version of Calendar for it to say 'Martins 45th Birthday'.

You're saying in iOS7 - you DON'T need a MAC to get this to work (I currently still have iOS 6 and it doesn't seem to work on that!)

 

[shandyman]

Correct. It works for me automatically and I have no mac

Doesn't work for me either in iOS6 on iPad Mini…so that's great news

oh I'm sorry I missed that and since I sync with a Mac it have it. I thought it was just a normal feature.

...that's awesome!!! I always remember people's birthdays but I am useless at remembering their ages - cheers for confirming

I've been trying the birthdays thing and for some reason the calendar wont update quickly, seems to take ages, also the date selector is not the same as the date against the birthday field when editing it. I've just had the date selector set to 21st June but it was showing 20th June in the birthday field and when you moved the selector it always stayed one day behind in the field.

Yeah... that's what I thought

Remember that ugly pinkish wallpaper in Beta 1 that got removed in Beta 2?

Well its back apparently in the recently leaked pics of the 5C, the color-matched wallpaper looks alot like a re-colored version of the Beta 1 wallpaper.

God, I'm not a fan of that wallpaper at all.. #

But depending the color of the 5C it kind of looks nicer. I like the blue one in particular. But yeah I hated the original wallpaper version.

Does anyone else know anything about it?

Must be an iPad thing because it doesn't work on iPhone :-(
