What Is Your Least Favorite New iOS 8 Feature?

[Ledsteplin]

My least two favorite features:

2. The need to have message preview turned on to use quick reply. I keep my message preview disabled for a reason. Defeats the purpose of leaving the message preview disabled. Maybe if they would build an option to leave it disabled but when you use quick reply, then you can see it.

How can you "quick reply" if you don't see the message preview?

That's a great sign! I won't get the 6 until February, so iOS 8 will be like a new phone for my 5.

How does iOS 8 run on older iPhones ?

iOS 8 has not been released to the general public yet. Probably September 17th or so. Some already have it in beta. That's like for developers. The phones that will get iOS 8 are the 4s, 5, 5c, 5s and the new iPhone 6 when it is released in September. The iPhone 4 and below will not get iOS 8.

I have not had the pleasure of experiencing the iOS 8 betas. I've heard all about what everyone likes. But what new feature do you like the least?

My "least favorite feature" is not a feature, but rather, a limitation of a feature. From what I've read thus far, you can only use Handoff/Continuity with your Mac if your Mac is one of the newer ones that supports Bluetooth LE. This is very likely to save battery on your iPhone (I have no idea how much less battery power Bluetooth LE uses as compared to old-style Bluetooth), but it would be nice to have a toggle somewhere in the settings for enabling Handoff/Continuity with regular Bluetooth. It should be up to me whether I want to put the extra strain on the phone's battery of extending these features to machines that use the old Bluetooth implementation, not up to Apple.

Then again, I see what they're doing: "Buy a new Macintosh, Rafagon."

Yep! Actually, I'd like to see nothing at all at the bottom. What purpose does any type if visible dock serve?

How old is your Mac?
