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

[Worthy.Of.Ed]

My apologies is this has already been said, but I refuse to read 161 pages!

My favorite new, but minor, features:

1) in iMessage, when you get a text with a day or time in it ("6:00", "tomorrow night", etc) you can click it, and it will take you directly do that time on your calendar!

2) Passbook delete animation is no longer a lame imitation shredder. It just disappears to a thin red line, then gone. Neato.

I have no idea if it's been mentioned already but I LOVE that we can now stream purchased content not on our phones. SO cool!

Something I realized that when you play a song that little "play" icon on the status bar is not there. They took it out

So...um...looks like my TARDIS landed where it wasn't suppose to...I was meaning for it to be the year 2013...but 20,000 is good xD

Quick questions:

1) Is there a way to delete emails faster? Back before i updated, i would just swipe and there would be a delete button available. Now when i swipe, nothing happens and i have to click edit, select the message and then click trash near the bottom which is pretty annoying

2) Is there a way to get the weather back in the notification center? Back before the update, i can swipe down and it would have the weekly weather with high/low on the top but that doesnt show up anymore with the new ios 7 so does anyone know how to remedy this?

You have to swipe from right to left to delete a message in Mail.

Maybe this isn't strictly an iOS 7 thing but I never knew that my Apple weather app places were synced. I was very surprised to all my old cities already on the new iPhone after signing into iCloud.

Thanks, i always did it left to right before

Also, is there a way to limit emails? I used to have like the 50 or 100 most recent from each email but now it has all the emails and i dont see an option to limit it in the settings

I really dislike the look, it's an Easter egg on drugs. First time I will not upgrade and look at a Note or 4 from Samsung, at least I can get a better screen if I'm forced into a crap looking OS.

The weather app needs your location, but only displays the today forecast in notification center. If you haven't opened it yet, once you do just allow it to use your current location. If you have opened it then make sure you allowed it to use location services in settings

I see. Shame it only shows today's high and low. Liked the older way of showing the week's forecast

Resources

Has anyone compared how much resources iOS 7 consumes versus 6.1.4 on the iPhone 5?

 

[pullman]

I like that one can compose one's own vibration alerts. I didn't realise this could also be done in 6 but like it anyway.

 

[darngooddesign]

I like the subtle parallax effect when swiping to to back. It's like the change in cities in the Yahoo Weathrr app. Try doing it slowly.

Is anyone else having trouble with app updates? I had a "7" badge on my App Store icon, but when I opened the App Store and went to updates, they all disappeared. Same thing happened yesterday. I randomly found one of the apps that needed updating (ebay), and it had a button that said "update", so I pressed it and it updated manually. But nothing shows up in the Updates section.

Lot of people are having issues. Servers are overloaded and the store is struggling, it'll probably be some time before things are back to normal or at least better working order.

tl;dr - Apps that need updating disappear from the update list in the App Store app.

I figured out a workaround solution to getting the apps to show up.
1) Make sure the App Store is fully exited in the multitask switcher.
2) Open the App Store and go to the Updates pane.
3) Push the sleep button on the phone.
4) Push the sleep button again to wake it up, and then unlock your device.
5) Now the apps should be on the list.

If they still don't appear, try it again from #1, and make sure the App Store app is fully closed.

I would like in iOS 7.1 (maybe iOS 8) the ability to turn on and off auto brightness from the control center. It's a small thing that would make control center even better.

Being able to swap toggles would be ace.

Hello, i just installed ios 7 (clean install, as a new phone) and when go to the app store, i can't see my purchase history. In the settings i am signed in the app store with my apple id. Any one having the same problem.

Had this issue initially, all seems fine now. Give it awhile perhaps.

 

[AlexanderSir]

Thanks, so will have to wait then...

Here is a feature which I am pretty sure know one has posted about in this thread (I've pretty much been following this thread all through the Betas).

It's not really a feature as such but just something I have noticed. It's do to with one of the animations.

If you have a folder and it has more than one page, when you go into any page other than the first page and then you press the Home button to exit back to the Home screen, once the animation of the folder closing has finished and it has zoomed back out and you are looking at the home screen - there is a further animation of the second page of the folder scrolling by itself in order to return the folder back to showing the apps on its first page.

Just something I noticed which I thought was pretty neat!!

Having keyboards like this on an app. It doesn't feel like I run iOS 7...it feels that I still run iOS 6

Same here, it claims kinship to the Tardis.
