iOS 8 |OT| Huge for developers. Massive for everyone else.

Whoops, I've renamed a group iMessage convo on my Mac. OS X Yosemite Public Beta 3. Hope its not all messed up for everybody else.
That is one of the new features that lets you do things like start an email on your ipad and finish it on your phone.
It's Handoff. You used this app on another device, your phone detected that and you can swipe up to pick up where you left off.
And yes, it can be disabled in Settings > General > Handoff and Suggested apps
That's handoff. You can turn it off in Settings - General - Handoff.

Yeah, you can swipe up to launch that app. It's based on your location, it works similar to Handoff, so it'll show up when you're near certain places. You can turn it off in Settings - General - Handoff & Suggested Apps.
Swype seems to be working fine on my 5 in safari.
I was getting sane, restarted machine and worked, also could try flushing dns.
This happens when I try to update on iTunes. I don't have enough space on my phone to do it OTA. What do I do??

Wait. Apple servers be hammered right now.
There's nothing you can do to bypass the server check/authorization.

Getting this too
Is that icon for a store? Because some store apps, like Starbucks, will appear there when you're in or near one of their locations.

I can, which phone do you have ?
I had the same issue.
If the server is responding, you can use iTunes. It wasn't last time I checked, though...
did you enable the keyboard? I'm able to fine
NOPE.
Any direct/external download links?
edit: found this awesome post on twitter <3

Use iTunes if you don't have space on your device.

TLDR: Slower than iOS 7 but nowhere nearly as bad as iOS 7 was on the iPhone 4.

It's a little slower on mine, but I can live with it.

This is annoying. I understand the idea that the iCloud is suppose to be something in the cloud, but they dont need to take it literally to the point that the cloud content is invisible to manage in a central app.
The only thing I can complain about is that I show up there. Come on, you're smarter than that, Apple.
Yeah it wasn't in the keyboard list but I swapped back to the messages app again and there it was

Yeah, it's insane. The biggest app I have is 300 mb, but I have over 8gb of music.
There's no way I'm deleting like 80% of my library for this shit.
As a user with only one Apple device (my work iPhone 5) that doesn't use any Apple services this doesn't seem to be that much of an upgrade. There is no doubt it is still iOS and relatively boring IMO. Can't justify moving away from my Lumia 920 and WP 8.1 for iPhone 6\Plus.
Maybe iOS 9 will be "new".

It may not be as good as having a dedicated app on your phone or iPad but you can manage it from your Mac or PC or icloud.com. Also, I'm sure there are iOS file managers that either have already been updated to include iCloud support or will soon.
Look for an iPad keyboard with some form of swipeselection instead
By the way, what are the steps to switch between the different third party keyboards while typing?
It's eerily accurate. I don't know if the ios version does this but on Android it can even predict the emojis you use when saying certain things to certain people. You can even give it access to your Evernote, gmail, Facebook and Twitter accounts and it'll scan everything you've written so it can more accurately learn your habits. I can understand if some people with privacy concerns might want to skip that feature though.
Also, as someone who frequently switches back and forth between languages Swiftkey is awesome since it detects language on the fly and doesn't force me to keep changing keyboard language for autocorrect like the standard ios or Android keyboards.

Imagine if there were some kind of separate screen for all your installed apps, letting you keep only your most used ones on the home screen. Imagine that.
(I really don't understand why this hasn't happened yet. They've "borrowed" so many other things from Android already, so why not this? Maybe they just don't want to admit to yet another thing Android does smarter than iOS.)

Is Swiftkey available yet?

So happy to finally have a better keyboard.

Am I wrong, but I thought there was a way to automatically save photos and videos to the phone from Messages. Like, someone texts me a video or photo and it automatically gets saved in my Photos app so that when I connect my phone to my Mac, it gets uploaded to iPhoto automatically.
Yep, I've already replaced the default iOS keyboard with it.

Tap and hold on the little globe in the lower left and select the one you want to use.
As nice as that would be I don't think I'll give them access to everything. I doubt they'll do anything dodgy but I'll stick with the vanilla keyboard.
Nah I don't like that system of dumping everything without any sort of organisation.
Yup! I've switched to the light theme though. Dark seems to off in most apps.
