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

[commad]

Hope I am not repeating this info (I can only read so many pages of this thread in one day)...

I have heard some with concerns that having the auto-updates enabled would be bad because you wouldn't know what was updated and you wouldn't know what new features there were with the App. I also had this concern somewhat.

However, if you look in your notification center every once in a while under the "all" tab (assuming you have App Store notifications turned on), it tells you what Apps were updated and when. If you click on any of the updates, it redirects you to the App Store and you can view the details of the update, so you know what changed.

Oh, I didn't realise you could disable it without disabling Siri in its entirety.

I believe voice dial is the voice control before Siri was purchased/announced. It offers limited capabilities (calling, skipping songs) but in more languages... (And I don't think it requires an active Internet connection)

Hey!!! The voice recording app is missing!!!

It may come in later. Not sure.

Like you, I very much care about this app. As a musician I use it CONSTANTLY to record ideas. I know there are other apps that perform the same function, and even to a more customizable extent, but I've always been very comfortable with the first party app (I also have thousands of memos saved to the app already). That being said, I did some snooping around and found this:

Since it's listed under the areas of which Spotlight can search, I'm assuming they will add the Voice Memo app back in a future beta.

The release note state it is missing from BETA 1 but will return.

I have noticed when I receive a push notification from Facebook Messenger.app and I read the message on my laptop, it dismisses the notification on the iPhone (from the lockscreen). That is a welcomed feature. I hate when I have to unlock the iPhone just to remove the notifications for messages I have already read.

No doubt they wanted zero presence of that radio mic in iOS 7.

Thank you. I've been looking for these.

I'm assuming the "rolling drum" for timers and that red "cancelled" ink stamp on emails and messages are certainly gone as well. If anybody's really bored and willing to post those, I'd be much obliged

Can't get enough of these screenshots.

Are you talking about Siri?

 

[max5peru]

cannot restore backup

I have an iphone 5 (GSM only), unlocked. I could install the iOS 7 on my device but I couldnt restore my data.
iTunes restore the data but the iPhone didnt respond when it tried to reboot.
I had to return to iOS 6 again.

Do the new blocking features allow you to read the messages that have been blocked?
Does the sender receive any notice or perceive they've been blocked?
Do the messages hold in a cue and become visible once they've been unblocked?
Will the new API's allow the creators of iblacklist to now offer their app in the official app store?

Yes, until you delete them.
For calling, it goes straight to voicemail. Unknown for text messages.
No.
No.

As others have mentioned the notification banner is a little too big.

There's a setting to turn off Control Center access from the lock-screen if you're concerned about this.

You have the option of disallowing control center on the lock screen.

Already done it! Was just surprised this was possible

New design for multiple options. It's pretty nice looking

Also, using private mode has a nice black translucent design. Useful both for porn and if you don't like it being all white and flashy.

Cool. I go private on iOS 6 because I like the black look so I'll probably do the same in iOS 7 just because of the look...

Is Wi-Fi needed for Airdrop? Or can it be cellular?

The image on this page (well animation) shows airdrop without Wifi on, but when is Wifi is turned on AirPlay also pops up.

Thanks.

Is there a dark theme available? I am not a fan of all this white, especially in the Mail and Messages apps...

 

[iker42]

WE CAN REDUCE TEXT SIZE SYSTEM WIDE!!!!

Other than that, no quick reply means I'm jailbreaking when it occurs.

 

[BFG86]

for cmda when you don't have 3G it now says 1x instead of the circle

I could not find anything to do this. I hate it as well, but its slowly growing on me..


Also, phone calls, facetime and many other things are not androidesq. I like it

Thanks iker...

How does the white text on the blue bubbles look in real life in the Messages app? I feel like that would be hard to read and wish there were an option to change it..........

From the page you linked:

AirDrop does the rest using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

I actually like the new banners. Seems easier to read the notification, and for people with the fat fingers, like myself, its easier to touch it to open and slide it up to dismiss it.

The wifi radio itself needs to be on, but you do not need to be connected to a network.

Good grief, you now have to hold and select an individual message in your text conversation in order to delete it or parts of the conversation.

Dang-it apple, how is that intuitive!

I like to clear out my conversations periodically.

The timer now shows up on the lock screen.

I haven't seen anyone post about this yet, but now you can put folders in the dock!

You were always able to since its introduction.

You can already do that in previous firmware versions.
