There's a new tab in the iTunes wishlist called 'Siri' that seems to populate with those Shazam search results.

I have the keyboards: main English, Swype, and SwiftKey. I like SwiftKey the best but the OS keeps defaulting to the main one. Anyone have similar problems?
Just remove English, unless you have to have to have it...

Recently Added doubles as camera roll (across both iPad and iPhone). It's definitely confusing, but I like some of the additions... namely, an album for Bursts that you can more easily go through and select pictures from, a Favorites album for just looking at your favorite shots and a Recently Deleted album that keeps deleted photos for up to 40 days.
To bad they haven't changed the music app. It sucks having to scroll through an artist's entire song library just to find the album you want. (I know you can search, but viewing all albums at once is just so much easier)
Also downloaded Swiftkey but didn't like it so I deleted it.
Really like the new control center color scheme. Voice messages are kinda stupid. Maybe useful once in a long while perhaps.

Oh that would suck. Like I mentioned before, without family sharing someone can just ask me or share a link with me, then I can buy it. Because my family all have my iTunes account on their iPads, they can then download from 'purchased' without needing me to sign in. So if I had to go to their devices to authorise that would be a step backwards

This update is the worse ever, my ipad 2 and iPod touch 5 are just fucking slow now, Safari crashes a lot, takes ages to run apps, what the fuck were they thinking? Forget opening multiple tabs now in the browser, If I got 4 open i can't even post a reply on GAF, the thing just stops working.
Did they fuck all the older devices just to sell their new overpriced stuff?

Safari is even slow on the iPad Air when you want to type something into the address bar. It is ridiculous. I like the sleek design but the performance is abysmal at times.

The update to 8 just totally destroyed my music collection on my iPad. It saw about a quarter of the songs, and then erased everything else. Then it reclassified the songs it did see to "other" so that I can't erase them off the iPad. 24.18 GB of dead space. Restore didn't help. Stupid.
Nice! Thanks.
At least it'll connect. I'm away, and there only one WiFi spot for miles. IOS 7 devices and Android are fine. iOS8 won't acknowledge it exists. At all.
Just did this too, I turned off the search suggestions and preloading of top hits, and now everything is back to normal.
Woooohooo!!

Can you do this in iTunes:
Backup your phone
Restore to factory settings
Restore to previous backup
?

Have noticed some weird lag on my 5s ever since upgrading. Nothing major just weird little lags when in messaging and other apps that use the keyboard. Oh and what is up with the screen when you change brightness from control center? It always flashes weirdly when I drop or increase the brightness now.

That's on purpose so you see the effect of the brightness change. Previously (on iOS7 and below) there was always a darker view of the background stuff so you never really knew what your new brightness level ends up being like.

How do I set up the health stuff on my iPhone 6 plus? I want to track steps and stuff.
Health Data -> whatever you want -> Add to Dashboard
edit:
That review brings Yosemite PB3's Safari to its knees, damn. Never seen so much CPU usage from scrolling

OH cool, thanks. How will it track all the nutrition stuff like caffeine and even weight? I don't see a way to input numbers in weight, for example.
Welcome to Apple.
You manually add data points to each kind of health data, but Health is mainly made to work with third-party apps and accessories (aside from what the M7 and M8 co-processors can natively track).

It's supposed to work with third party apps and devices so theoretically you'd stand on your Bluetooth enabled scale and it would update health for you. You can also just use the Add Data Point option if you'd like to do it manually.

Glad I'm not the only one whose noticed the drop in speed on Wifi since iOS 8
so if I'm currently using my phone and get a Gmail notification, there's a little thing that pops down at the top of the screen. On iOS7 you could pull this down to see more of the message. But it seems to be locked and no able to pull down in iOS8? is that typical?
also, might as well ask here... anyone else find the GMail app to take sooooo long sometimes to load messages? What is the fastest app to load GMail? Does Mail work better? But Mail doesn't have push for GMail right?

Apps can now "talk" to each other. Ex... You can now save a story in Safari right to the Pocket app for example.
3rd Party Keyboards
Apple intorduced a new programming language for iOS apps called Swift that is supposed to be a big deal.
Apps can now live in the Notification Drawer.
Apps can now interact with Touch ID and iCloud.
HealthKit, PhotoKit, HomeKit and a new Camera API they can tap into.
Whoa there. It's buggy as shit, but on the 5s it's just as fast, if not faster, than iOS 7.1.x. I understand people complaining about iOS 8 performance on A5 devices, but the 5s flies.

It is laggy.
And all the apps that used the camera roll (including google drive) crash instantly.
And WiFi does seem slower.
I really hope there's a patch soon because I don't want to be stuck with this.

The animation can lag from time to time, but on the 5s is pretty rare (unlike my iPad 4th gen, which lags animating in and specially out of apps pretty frequently). It's still not slow, though, just jarring.

Did iOS 8 change the way air play works? Why won't my work's speakers show up anymore?
edit: because the iMac can connect to the wifi-connected speakers without a problem I'm assuming something's up with my phone.

Yes. You can now AirPlay to a device without being on the same WiFi network as it.
