IOS 7.1 incoming call question

[anon6040766]

It's strange how Apple feels leaving it out is no big deal but I say we need to have that option not just on calls but also on the Contacts list screen and Messaging like in Hangouts and Facebook messenger

IMore needs to get a poll going in the official Blog

It's off topic, but you seem to know quite a bit and my first experience with iOS7 is my iPhone 5s. This is something that annoys me and I hope they change. I hate that the top of a text or iMessage only shows first name. Example, I text Mike Apple and then text Mike Peach, it only says Mike from that point on at the top of the thread so I always have to make sure I'm texting the right Mike. Sure, you can tell by the thread but accidents happen. My boss and best friends name is Stephen, I had to change my best friend to just his last name so I wouldn't text my boss anything crazy by accident. Why can't they put first and last name or first and as much as last name fits? It's literally the only issue I have with the iPhone after using every BlackBerry going back to the 7100 through the most recent Z30.

If you go to settings>mail contacts and calendars>contacts>short name. You can select how names are displayed in messages at the top of the thread.

I liked the full screen contact pic on a incoming call. But didn't like the rectangular labels. I think the remind me and message buttons would get lost in a full screen photo.

Its like they get so many things right, and then the begin to "fine tune" as they like to refer to it. In the end they come out with some great features and simplify many things and screw everything else up that they got right. I feel like i can never win 100% with apple

Maybe Apples got your back. What if you have a really skanky looking girlfriend? You don't want people across the room to see that!!!

I wouldn't say she looks skanky just unusual

Did the 7.1 beta have full screen contact pictures on incoming calls?

No. None of the Betas had the full screen photo. All were the same as 7.1 we have now - the little bubble at the upper right. I agree with those who like and miss the full-screen photo. It was sort of like having FaceTime activated without the grim reality of a live shot. I look a whole lot better in a photo than in a live shot.

That small bubble you see in the bottom right is the Tapatalk app icon that shows up in screen shots. When an actual call comes in and you have the contacts photo it's is just as big and located in the middle as earlier OS's.

100% wrong.
Also, I get NO PHOTO for Contacts with long names.

I like the small bubbles I like to keep things private everybody doesn't need to know who is calling me

Already addressed this if you took a moment to read. I made a mistake. In the original post a comment was made about "the pic in the right corner". I thought they meant the lower right corner which was clearly the Tapatalk symbol. Later someone posted the comparison screenshot of 7.0 with full photo versus 7.1 with bubble face in top right corner and I admitted I was wrong. So why don't you take your condescending a$$ elsewhere unless your willing to read before posting. Multiple times I said I made a mistake and 24 hours you chime in? Lazy a$$, read before you post.

Me too...and my guess is they are doing it to leave space for something coming in iOS8. Maybe map integration like if their location settings are on and they call you'll see where on the map or something. Who knows, but I don't think the space was left empty to remain that way.

Exactly what I was looking for!

Well I don't know her but I assume she could be promiscuous

Since that's a doctored photo of Kristen Stewart I wouldn't say promiscuous is far off!

 

[kataran]

This is the best I could do for her with the apps I have

Seems they decided to minimize the contact photo to a small bubble in the right corner


Sent from my iPhone 5s Gold 64GB

Yeah thats really a downgrade why would some do something like that? i really enjoyed big screen caller id's alot.

 

[Jaguarr40]

Full Screen photo gets my vote before the small bubble pic in 7.1.

 

[JsLee14]

I understand those who would prefer to have the small picture, but why take it out completely? Just make it a choice in accessibility or something to have full screen or not :/
