iOS 8.1.1 released

[Darran]

Darran, if you're in the middle of typing a text and then "send photo" in the middle of it, the text will be discarded. You have to tap "add comment" even if you were in the middle of typing text. Otherwise, it will be discarded if you decide to send just the photo.

Thanks yes I know my point is that it shouldn't just discard the unsaved text if you have text entered. It should either send the photo and leave he editable text or warn you before proceeding which will remind you to tap add comment to leave the text. It's not a big issue it's just annoying as I keep forgetting to hit add comment as in my mind I've already added a comment I just want to add the picture and send

Not always true. See my post above.

You can do it either way. Tap to send photo, then hit send for text. Or add text with the photo. Then send.

Right.

My messages app is starting to freeze up again. First time since updating 8.1.1.

So I updated about 12 hours ago and haven't noticed much of a difference. Biggest issue I had was the keyboard sometimes not popping up but so far haven't had that happen since updating. Maybe the animations are slightly faster. Not surprised I haven't noticed much of a difference as I wasn't having the issues others reported. Need a couple more days before I can get a good idea of any possible change in battery life.

I've never had an issue with the messages app. Hope you get it resolved.

I'm not gonna worry about it. I upgrade in January. This old 5 may need a factory restore.

Led, I just thought of this because on a very rare occasion my daughter would have an issue with freezes and closing out of text/imessage.....the cause of it is because she has tooooo many text/iMessages saved causing her memory to be low as well as storage. She'll then go through delete old unwanted crap and the issue is gone.

I know you have an "old" trusty 5, but just something I thought of that may help you out.....although I have to say you've probably trouble shot this already....

I've tested this on a few different iPhones now and I honestly believe you're not doing exactly as I am.

Take a picture with the camera app

Then open a new message and start typing

Tap the camera icon on the left of the message box

**DO NOT TAP PHOTO LIBRARY OR TAKE PHOTO**

The photo you took earlier should be displayed as a thumbnail

Tap this thumbnail and a tick will appear in the lower right of the thumbnail to show its selected.

Tap send photo and the photo will send but any previously uncommitted text is discarded.

**DO NOT GO INTO PHOTOS AND CAMERA ROLL**

Sorry for the boring posts...

Darran you should seriously consider sending feedback to Apple on this. If you think it's counterintuitive other users may feel the same way.
I sent feedback on reachability and moving apps. Double tapping the home button lowers the screen to make things easier to reach one handed.
On the home screen apps won't "jiggle" while in reachability to be moved and reachability doesn't work while apps are jiggling.
So I sent feedback to Apple as a feature enhancement. When iOS 7 came out I sent feedback on the accept decline buttons when a call comes in. They were rectangular just looked unattractive to me and it was changed. Not by just my feedback but there must have been possibly thousands or millions of users that felt the same way.

I keep my messsges deleted. I do keep several threads open. Most are empty. And not many. Maybe 15 threads. All but 3 are empty. I do use SwiftKey. It's only happened once since updating. I'm not sure what sets it off.

That's exactly how I do it. Just did the same thing before typing this to test it.

Used to do this but hasn't done it in quite some time thankfully!

I really don't know what causes it. It may be using SwiftKey.

I do exactly that, but my text message does not vanish until I tap "Send".

Mine doesn't vanish either but it doesn't go with the picture either. I have to SEND separately for the message. Is this how yours is?

Wow I'm not sure how mine is acting so different haha. It's really annoying. I'd expect it to work like yours is so that's good that it's not everyone affected.

I'VE FOUND THE BUG!!

The reason it's retaining your text is because you're trying this in a message that already has content! Try this in a new message where the thread is blank.

I just tried this with a friend and it kept the text because I'd already text to that person within that chat. Try it on a blank chat, do it to yourself as it's unlikely you've been messaging yourself!
