Apple Introduces iOS 8 And Texting Will Never Be The Same Apple introduced its latest update to the iPhone operating system, iOS 8, at its annual World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco today. If youre a big texter, some of the changes should make your life a lot easier. iOS 8 will be available for the iPhone 4S and above this fall. Smarter Notifications Now when you get a notification for a text message or a Facebook comment, you can respond from whatever app youre in. So if youre looking at Twitter and you get an iMessage from your mom, you can quickly respond without leaving Twitter. Easier Email There are significant changes to Apples Mail app. You can mark emails as unread or delete them with a single gesture, and you can swipe down a message youre composing in order to see the rest of your inbox. Damn You Autocorrect Is...Over? Texting is what most people do on their iPhones - iMessage is the devices most popular app by far, Tim Cook said on Monday. He introduced QuickType for iMessage, a new feature that could potentially eliminate embarrassing auto-correct errors. As you type, youll get suggestions for what to type next. QuickType learns from you, based on what you type and to whom. It will suggest different words based on how you generally speak to a specific person. No More Annoying Group Texts Group messaging is also going to be vastly improved. With iOS 8 you can name your group texting threads and add or remove people from group texts. You can also leave a group messaging thread or push do not disturb to mute a specific thread. No more annoying group texts! If you want to find your friends, you can share your location through messages and show your friends where you are for an hour, until the end of the day, or until you decide to stop.
