Apple's iOS 8 has brought with it some truly impressive new features as well as some that should probably have been there since day one. Unfortunately, it also brings with it an extra icon or two that belong to apps that most people don't want on their home screen and, as we all know, if Apple wants us to use an app, there's no deleting it. Ever.
Here are the top 10 best Notification Center widgets for iOS 8 which you should download and install on iPhone right away.
Posting an update to any social network - or sending out a plain old IM - without an emoji is considered a minor sin these days. And while iOS does feature a brilliant built-in emoji keyboard to get things done, but Apple’s implementation does lack a few things which this new third-party iOS 8 keyboard swiftly fulfills.
Last year with iOS 7, Apple took an even more minimalist approach than usual to its mobile OS, removing all sign of skeuomorphism and instead opting for clean lines and flat shapes. This ethos for keeping things simple is reflected throughout the company’s product range, and with iOS 8 having recently been released, the desire for subtlety has remained. If you’re also a fan of simplicity, you’ll be pleased to learn of a little-known feature bundled into iOS 8 that allows you to enjoy a blank home screen, giving it a desktop OS like look, and below, we’ve compiled a simple step-by-step guide on how you can achieve it.
Japanese gaming giant Nintendo has just released its first ever title for those running on Apple's iOS, some seven years after the platform was born. Pokémon TCG Online is essentially a digital adaptation of the trading card game, and whether you remain a massive Pokémon fan or simply recall a time that you once were, then you owe it to yourself to check it out.
As mobile users, most of us follow the standard precautions in the ongoing fight against malicious software, but as the defenses become more adept to dealing with such intrusions, attackers also dream up more advanced, cunning ways of sneaking into our devices and extracting data. A new type of spyware, which appears to have originated from Hong Kong, is said to affect iOS users who've opted to jailbreak their devices, and according to experts on the matter, may also be connected to a similar piece of unwanted software lurking on Google's Android.
Apple released the first beta of iOS 8.1 to developers just yesterday, and as we expected, it comes with a lot of minor changes that make up for a handful update over what is available publicly in the form of iOS 8.0.2. Here, we’ll run through all the changes in a neatly organized bulleted list.
You can say what you will about Popcorn Time - and let's face it, most of what could be uttered about so-called "Netflix for Torrents" has already been said - but one cannot argue that those behind it aren't frequent with their updates. With versions of the app already spanning most of the major platforms including Windows, Mac and Android, it was confirmed late in August that an iOS edition was in the making. At the time, it was noted that Popcorn Time for iPhone and iPad would become available in a matter of days, but while today's official roll-out is slightly later than we'd hoped, it does appear to be a nicely refined experience worthy of the wait.
When Apple first introduced folders in iOS way back with the iOS 4 release, it was largely laughed at by Android fans for being flimsy and barely functional. They had good reason to do that, too; Android has had a much functional, not to mention useful, folder organization system since time immemorial, whereas iOS' initial attempts were lousy and half-baked at best. In fact, there were so many lacking bits and pieces, and glitches, that one of them ended up serving a purpose that wasn't originally intended; the ability to nest folders within folders. It appears that the same glitch has carried over all the way to iOS 8 as well, and using the same technique (which we'll describe going forward for the uninitiated), you can nest folders within folders even in iOS 8 and iOS 8.0.2.
Apple's iOS 8 seemed to be experiencing a smooth initial transition, with millions of users downloading on the very first day of its launch and bugs apparently as minor as they were few. But after the mess that Apple made with iOS 8.0.1, things seem to have gone downhill somewhat, and it now appears that iOS 8's 'Reset All Settings' feature is also removing iCloud Drive documents apparently safe in Apple's secure online storage hub.
