Other Than The "Tips" App, What's Your Least Useful iOS 8 Feature?

[Ledsteplin]

Many seem to think the new Tips app to be a waste of space. It is rather lame. But what feature would come next as your least useful? Mine is the "hide" option for photos. This would be a great and useful feature, if it worked in Albums as well as in Photos. Not familiar with it? Press on a photo and you get the options to copy/hide.


The problem is if you were trying to hide a photo from snoopy friends, it would only hide them in the Photos section. That's where the "Years, Collections, and Moments" are located. It does not hide them in the Albums, including the Camera Roll.


So I find this feature completely useless. What's your useless feature?

Yeah, I have all those in my "not used" folder. But I was looking for new iOS 8 useless features and apps. Any new feature you find useless? Like the audio text in messages?

Stocks, compass, Game Center, passbook, and Tips. I could also do without the icon for contacts, since it's redundant. It's in the phone app.

Somehow everyone got off track on apps, rather than iOS 8 features. Oh, well! Apps then.
I've not had any use for these. Not yet.

Tips
Game Center

I really wish apple would make a option to hide or disable unused apps, for now I just bury them on the last page of my utilities folder.

I also thought i could hide them by going to restrictions, all it is just doing is taking up space.

I don't use the Health app, but I did fill out my medical info. This could be vital and accessible to first responders. Even if your phone is locked. This information is also available in your contact profile info.

Actually, they don't take much space. They're just mostly useless.

Tips is most useless

I hate that I can't customize the control center let me switch do not disturb with GPS grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I don't use the stocks or compass often but I see the use

I don't like the game center the way it is I much more enjoy google play games app with level and XP points pointless yes but a nice feature also the layout and everything is much better

I don't like that the podcasts app can't be removed either.

I actually make a useless folder and put it by itself on a separate home screen. Wish iOS would let you delete the apps you didn't want or use.

Stocks. I've never used it even once.

^^^this^^^

I would consider the apple watch a few versions in the future -- would be cool to have GPS on a watch while on the motorcycle. I can't have a watch that will last only 18 hrs (w/ normal use) or less. So for now this app will be the least useful.
