you can leave group messages now!!!

GAME CHANGER!

 

[kaskade]

OMG YESSS YESSS.

 

[Squalor]

Is this the feature we are not getting outside english speaking countries, maybe?

No, they showed about ten different languages.

Finally, group messages are awesome.

 

[Victory Red]

Apple is going fucking HAM right now.

 

[kharma45]

What are you talking about. According to the Verge live blog it's only on SwiftKey and the Google keyboard.

Tom Warren pls help.

 

[sabertoothzombie]

If I wasn't already using Switfkey then I would be impressed

 

[BearPawB]

leave thread is huge

 

[The Real Abed]

That shot of the phone with the guy calling. They brought back the larger photo previews for callers?

And you can leave a multi person thread! Yay!

 

[VoxPop]

YES!

 

[Baby Milo]

Wait, they call Dre DR.Dre ??? Is Dre a real Dr.? You can't just start calling yourself a Dr. Lol.

bruh when did you crawl out from under that rock?

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Do not disturb on a per thread level! Yes! This has been the bane of my existence for the last 8 months. My fantasy football peeps do not.stop. talking.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

iOS8 is pretty underwhelming so far. Quicktype, but no Swype?

 

[gutterboy44]

"Leave Thread"

Greatest...feature...ever. I fucking hate group SMS that go on for ages and you have no interest but get texts for every damn reply.

 

[CrankyJay]

oh god yes finally, i can leave fucking group messages....so annoying. i love this.

 

[victreeb3l]

Cool updates but nothing super exciting about iOS 8 so far. Mac stuff was awesome.

 

[Buckethead]

Quick Type is awesome.

Always envied that on my friend's Android phone.

 

[Vyer]

I like those iMessage additions, particularly the ability to parse out inside a group text.

 

[krypt0nian]

iOS 8 is killing it

Contextual EVERYWHERE

 

[MThanded]

I wonder how some carriers are going to think about these new easy hotspot features.

You will still need a hotspot plan so they dont care.

 

[Toki767]

So iMessage is Hangouts now?

 

[The Real Abed]

Ugh. I hate Swype. I couldn't care less about it. But it'd be nice if it could at least be installed as a user choice.

 

[Blackhead]

Lol, snapchat had the finger 'hold to video' for how many weeks and already sherlocked

 

[Brinbe]

that do not disturb is huge

 

[Angelus Errare]

This will be the last update for 4S btw. It was a good run though.

 

[ReAxion]

let's just ape android. but it looks nice

turnabout fair play

 

[Whitechocolatekrispies]

So for Apple it's borrowing when Apple takes an idea ... but stealing when Android takes someone else's idea?

Apple, have a little humility ...

 

[brotkasten]

Tap to Talk. WhatsApp must be happy about this.

 

[Dalek]

This guy's electric.

 

[dorkimoe]

going to be interesting how leaving a thread works though....because you cant stop people from texting you..so if you leave a thread do they have to add you back to the thread or will you just get the next text

 

[Goldenhen]

Thank god Scott Forstall left Apple.

 

[BikoBiko]

After Mac awesomeness this iOS presentation is definitely a snoozer. Looks more like a iOS 7.5 upgrade.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Hopefully Siri has totally been revamped. I'm waiting for that.

 

[fuenf]

So iMessage is WhatsAPP now?

fixed

 

[kudoboi]

I wonder how well the voice to text thing would work. It is almost useless on Android which is why i disable it

edit: wait its just for recording voices?

 

[ScepticMatt]

I like that Apple is removing some useless animations

 

[Junior Mint]

Yosemite made me want a new Mac.
iOS 8 makes me want to go back to Android. Hope there's something bigger than what they've shown coming...

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Xbox live audio messages. AWESOME.

 

[kennah]

Oh finally a way to browse all photos you have got from someone.

 

[Toki767]

fixed

Ah, didn't see the tap to talk part until after I typed that lol

 

[LyleLanley]

I wonder how well the voice to text thing would work. It is almost useless on Android which is why i disable it

Voice to text has been in iOS since iOS 6 I think.

 

[WonkyPanda]

going to be interesting how leaving a thread works though....because you cant stop people from texting you..so if you leave a thread do they have to add you back to the thread or will you just get the next text

I'd assume they need to re-add you into the thread. Worst case, just DND inside of the thread and they'll never know.

 

[DedValve]

wait I went to the bathroom, swype confirmed for ios? About fucking time. I can jump ship next iphone!

 

[Vyer]

oh, audio message integration is nice

 

[MThanded]

duck lips

 

[Squalor]

Oh, that easy-access voice message is nice.

 

[Treythalomew]

Voice messaging is nice too. Apple sherlocking the shit outta some top apps.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

These iOS changes are booooo-rrring

 

[The Real Abed]

Selfie is such a stupid word. But damn that's funny.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

goddamn selfie culture

 

[Windu]

Lets bash Android.. Then show a presentation with features Android already has! YAY

lol yeah

about 90% of these features are something that WP/Android has already had.
