Actually the Health app is useful even if you never launch it. Just fill out your health info page. It will be accessible by first responders from the lock screen. Also from your contact info card.

I don't use the app for any of the other features. So I still put it out of the way in the unused folder.

The wallpapers with motion.
Yeah, I never thought much of that. But that started with iOS 7. What about the new messaging features? Do you use the audio or the video message? I played with those some, but find I don't use them.

I think we should b able to totally lock apps and use Touch ID to unlock them .. Without an app .. Opposing to how u hide apps and how u allegedly hide photo's now we should b able to hide the photo's in the same manner using the Touch ID ...

I agree with the exception of newsstand . I use that a lot

3 years ago I launched Newsstand, saw nothing was free, closed it, stuck it in folder, and there it remains. I can find enough free material to read. What's your favorite Newsstand purchase?

I have game informer subscription so I get it digital and have it there. Used to get it print and saved them which took up space but now have them saved on my account. Also use it for the New York Times , sports illustrated and Costco magazine which is good and it's free

I'm an old fat guy, and I have no desire to change!

No need to change. Just enter your current medical info in the Health app and if you pass out at Burger King, first responders will have access to your medical info via the lock screen.
