No Quick Reply for messages? iOS 7 Developer Build

Re: No Quick Reply for messages?

Curious about this: can you put up a screen shot showing a banner notification?

Here you go.



The notification will just abruptly slide down from the top, last a short while, then slide back up. Very 'in your face', and (ironically) not as subtle as the way the banners would roll in for IOS6.

Wow, that's a surprise! So they're not only a different color (now black) and larger, but no longer roll at all? Quite a change.

Can you still swipe them left (or pull down slightly and release) to dismiss the notification?

Never tried it before, usually just wait for the notifications to disappear on their own). Anyways, I just restored back to 6.1.3. The new features weren't worth the lag, heat and random reboots.

Definitely looks like there's room for a reply or dismiss button!

You can slide them UP to hide them now, much more convenient than the previous sliding them down and then up way - The box does seem a little larger than it needs to be, doesn't it? I assumed it was just needing to be tweaked slightly, but the thought of something being "missing" is an interesting one. There was a lot of talk about IOS7 being behind and staff were pulled from OS Mavericks to help develop it, maybe the quick reply feature simply wasn't ready in time to be showed off?

Improved Siri voice isn't in beta 1 ... Although it was discussed I think future betas may add to the feature set.

Intriguing ideas and it does seem like the banners are bigger just chilling waiting a quick reply button LOL.

Also I think a lot us would really love a quick compose widget!!

Re: No Quick Reply for messages?

Has Apple ever introduced a major UI feature via beta that they didn't show at WWDC and included it in the final release? I'm trying to think of one. I know they have added smaller features, touched up UI elements, and laid the foundation for larger features without including them before.

I found one such feature and it is actually on ios 7. In mail there is an option now to mark all, then mark as read. A mark all as read option to me is pretty substantial but that wasn't mentioned at all.

With full multitasking, you don't need to have this quick reply option. Just go into your messages, reply, and go right back where you were. Nothing has stopped or changed. And since you can now just swipe to get back and forth between apps, it should be very fast and easy. So your desire to have a quick reply for messages is needless.

Well the whole point is so you don't have to use multi tasking you just click reply type then send eliminating the extra move by moving from the message app to the one you were in

Yup, exactly. I hope this feature comes to iOS 7! If it does I can look past the yucky icons

Is there any way to change the color of that black banner? It looks so obtrusive. I wonder why they didn't give any gradient or translucency for that...

And no need to jailbreak lol

Yeah, it does look like a qr could come in a future beta release! Gimme that, and a dark theme, and I would be the happiest jailbreaker running stock you'll ever find

Regardless of how fast it is, it will still feel wrong to me to be pulled out of an app (and then have to launch the multitasking UI to return to it) just to reply to a message--especially when it happens repeatedly in the course of a conversation. It's not about whether or not anything has "stopped or changed," it's about creating a fluid user experience. The current method adds unneccesary steps/clicks/taps to what should (in my view) be a momentary interaction.

I'm hoping it gets added to an update sooner rather than later.

That looks really bad. I hope this isn't their intent....
Far from the elegant look that Apple is used to presenting.

Re: No Quick Reply for messages?

when i used to jailbreak i was like "Apple better implement quick reply or else!"

now... i'm like "Eh, i'll reply when i feel like it"

Yeah that is a wanted feature. I'm not sure if I would call it a UI type feature that quick reply would be but that is something interesting that they neglected to mention when highlighting the new mail app. Good find. Thanks.

I like it better than the current implementation. I think the current notifications are awkward looking. Having something rotate in using the same screen space as whatever app you are using has always seemed clumsy. At least with iOS 7, as was described, it slides down over the app which would be consistent with creating layers throughout the OS. Its not perfect but its better. Of course if they don't add quick reply or some actionable quality, there is no need for the size of the notification.

Re: No Quick Reply for messages?

Or... just be patient, young grasshopper... it?s beta 1... I fully expect it in a future beta...

Ohh that's it, I'll hold you accountable if they dont do that ...
