iOS 9 Wishlist

[MoodyM]

P-in-P for video apps - certain apps do it in-app (YouTube, AirVideo) but it should be system-wide when watching a video, i.e. be able to shrink the video playing to a small thumbnail at the corner, and carry on using the phone for other things.

It's the one glaring omission from iPhones and (especially) iPads for me - if you're watching a video you can't do ANYTHING else without stopping watching.

-Delayed lock with Touch ID enabled
-iCloud Keychain dedicated app
-custom notification sounds for any app

I'll add more as I think of them

You should try this.

Thanks, I did but despite a Google search finding it on android I found it wasn't compatible with the device that my mother in law had... Stupid as it's simply an app to receive/send files....

 

[audirs5]

ability to have something like Fl.ux on my phone... That would be game changer and MUCH needed.

 

[atlatnesiti]

Ability to run OS X Apps and use the same UI, or should it be other way around...

-Notification Center sync. I want to see all my notifications on all my devices (Mac included) and be able to dismiss them across the board from any device. At this point it's just silly that we can't see iPhone notifications in the Mac's Notification Center or dismiss iOS notifications from another device, and I'm so sick of still seeing missed iPhone calls from two days ago on my Mac's NC as well! Not helpful at all.
-Group FaceTime
-Dictionary/thesaurus app in iOS a la os x
- Ability for apps like Dropbox to actually download content locally if we want it. If not, at least give us a decent iCloud Drive native app.
-Dropbox extension for Mail so that I can attach actual documents (not links)
-Up Next in Music
-Visual voicemail in the cloud / Phone app for the iPad (and os x) (separate from FaceTime). Now that we can answer calls on other devices, we need a way to listen to voicemails when a call is missed and a dialer on the iPad (and Mac).

Delay mode for sending a text. Very useful if you know people who live in another time zone.

Buy a good dictionary and thesaurus app, or use the web.
As for this voicemails on Macs etc, why can't you just use the phone that you presumably have in your pocket at all times? I have no idea why people need absolutely everything mirrored onto every device they own.

I like some of the suggestions already made. I have some additional ones that I haven't seen suggested yet:

• Option to "Close all" open apps. (Note: I actually don't close apps all that often, but when I do, it's a pain to have to close 30 or 40 open apps two or three at a time.)
• Improvements to Stock Apps - Since I highly doubt that Apple will allow us to delete or change the default apps, I think Apple should spend some time making improvements to their Stock apps. Some of them like Reminders, Weather, and Notes are pretty piss poor, and pale in comparison to others available in the App store. Why not bring them up to par?
• Improvements to Siri (i.e. quicker response time, better accuracy, access offline, do more, etc.)
• Ability to Sort apps on the home screen (Alphabetically, by Genre, by # of times used)
• Dynamic Icons? - Not really sure how this would work, but each app's icon has the ability to provide more info (movie times on Fandango, current temp on weather apps, photostream on photo app, etc.) I guess this is the same thing as widgets?

1. Cross Fade Music

2. Customizable Control Center

3. Ability to delete application caches

4. Ability to delete iTunes Match cache without having to sign out of iTunes Match.

5. Redesigned Music Application

6. Ability to delete stock apps (How many years have we all wished for this?)

7. iPad split screen

8. Less space requirement to install

9. Widgets on Lock Screen

10. Post to Twitter/Facebook from Notification Center again.

You can cross out less space requirement.
IOS 8.2 beta 5 resolved that problem

- Add currency and a converter to the Stocks app
- Allow me to pick and choose which stocks are visible in control centre rather than importing all the companies in the Stocks app
- Simplify Control Centre by merging Notfications and Today. The current layout isn't working.
- Allow us to remove the Tips app and put the Compass and Podcasts app on the App Store.

Not really interested in any other features.

iOS 9 iPhone 7 Wish List

1. I want to be able to choose a folder when I download apps.

2. I’d love it if I had the option to sync my iPhone in iOS 9 and iPad desktops and layouts.
3. I would love to click or swipe one time and all open apps close. Swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe is ridiculous.

4. Maybe you can allow nested folders in the dock? I mean, why not? iOS 6 and 7 gave us nested folders, so why not in the dock in iOS 9?

5. Please let me remove the apps you include if I so desire. We all move them to an empty page or put them in a folder entitled “crap.” Stop the madness. I don’t want iOS 8 apps I don’t want.

6. It would be fantastic to be able to access the phone app when on a call as I can when not in a call. I’d like to be able to see who called me while I was on the phone and edit my favorites when the person I’m talking to is complaining about their bad service at Sizzler the night before.

7. I asked for “unread mail,” you delivered. Now, can I please have the option to create an appointment or meeting with a contact from the contacts screen? Or from an email. When someone emails me “hey, can we setup a call tomorrow at 9am?” I’d like to simply touch the screen and create the appointment with the email sender.

8. I sure would like to rename a few of my icons. This would be so liberating.

9. Deleting calendar entries are rough, too many clicks. Please allow me to touch, hold and voila, an option menu appears. Move, edit, delete, click!

You made this better in iOS 8. Thank you.

10. Let’s stop being so black and white here. Sometimes my appointments are tentative. Give me this option and I’ll try to be more definitive in 2015.

You gave us “travel time” in iOS 8. Cool feature. But we often add an appointment so we don’t forget as we wait for confirmation from our guest.

11. Multiple logins for iDevices. My son is constantly downloading games when I forget to turn restrictions back on after borrowing “his” iPad.

12. I would love to see a native “Photos” app on my Mac that automatically syncs my photos from my iPhone/iPad. I no longer wish to rely on iPhoto for this purpose nor do I wish to use Image Editor to download my photos.

You don't need to close apps like that. That's not how ios works. Your wasting your time doing it. It's there for when apps play up. Think of it as Ctl alt delete for iOS or force close on Mac if you've never used windows

I agree mostly with kslingo, Narcaz and Sandu especially:

- Customizable Control Center e.g. quickly send e-mail to wife/girlfriend or check WIFI options
- Ability to delete application caches
- Ability to delete stock apps
- Ability to install stock iPhone apps also on iPad (e.g. Weather, Calculator)
- iPad/iPhone 6 Plus split screen (multitasking)
- Post to Twitter/Facebook/WhatsApp/Telegram from Notification Center again (although there are this and this 3rd party widgets available)
- Ability to add any file to an email
- Better iPad UI (more icons possible per page and in a folder)
- Multiple logins for iDevices

I want a dashboard when i swipe to the left of my main home screen like you get on Mac OS to put widgets like stickys.

A nice simple one rearrange home screens from the actual phone rather than have to plug it in to iTunes!

doesn't he mean move/swap the whole screen from say screen 2 to 3 position?

Cause like you say rearranging the home screens has been doable for years. Just hold an icon down until it starts jiggling. Then move them around. press home button to stop them jiggling.

From iTunes you can move multiple icons at once so i assume this is what he means.

Would love to see something like this in iOS 9

I feel like the notification center has not seen many updates over the years. I know they added the today tab for widgets, etc.; it would be nice if they worked on the notification tab for this version of iOS. Could definitely see myself getting a lot more done there with this much functionality.

I hope it's true.

How about a way to edit files on the music player app? For instance, lets say you typed in a wrong letter or word in a song and didn't realize it until it played in the ipod app? You should be able to edit a song/artist/album title if needed.

Yes ! The entire screens! Sorry, rushed posting at work while on the phone
