Hey what is up guys, Giò here, and today we're taking a look at what's new in iOS 8
So iOS 8 has just been released
and you can see that visually there's not that much of a difference
but let's look deeper in the system and see what's new
Let's start with the camera and photo apps
Photography has always been one of Apple major selling points
and of course on iOS 8 there a few new tricks
First of all, you'll soon notice a timer is now available
useful if you use a tripod or if you wanna take a selfie..
..but yeah, mostly the selfies.
They also introduced a timelapse mode, for long speeded up videos
like this one
or this one
We also have a new photo editor
which can be useful to add Instagram-like filters
or to adjust the light and colors of your pictures
If "Hey Siri" sounds familiar, that's right, this might be annoyingly close to Google Now
But whatever, Siri works better than ever
Also, we have noticed it can now recognize and bring you directly to iTunes to buy them
Spotlight has been upgraded too
and it is now able to look for suggestions on the Internet and on the App Store
but you'll have to look for this in the Spotlight Settings
Android has had it for a while
but finally Apple has introduced a predictive keyboard too
However Apple's keyboard is also context aware
which means it will learn overtime how you speak to who
Also, with iOS 8 we finally have the possibility to install third-party keyboards
something we really missed.
Well done, Apple.
The notification bar has now become much more interactive
It is divided into two categories: Today and Notifications
On the "Today" side you can access all of your informations
like weather, calendar, tasks, etc.
You will now find here the implementation of widgets
which you can simply adjust by tapping on "Edit" at the bottom
As you can see, our only third-party app compatible with the new widgets is Evernote
but we are sure many others are to come
On the "Notifications" side
on the other hand
you will have, obviously, all of your notifications
which are now much more interactive,
and you can delete them individually or by groups
Also, you now have access to quick answers to messages
and we are sure many third-party apps
such as Facebook or Twitter
will soon take advantage of this service
Speaking of messages
we have some pretty implementations in here too
As you can see the layout has partially changed
you can now send a picture or a video by tapping on the icon on the left
or record a quick voice message by tapping on the right
You now also have the option to automatically delete messages
after a set period of time
to avoid getting too much garbage overtime
Besides, you have the possibility to
make audio and video messages expire after 2 minutes
and they be automatically removed from your conversation history
something like Snapchat
Scrolling through the settings
you will find the new menu "Battery Usage"
which will finally allow you to find out what kills your battery life
Speaking of battery life
that also looks fine
So thumbs up for that
In conclusion, speaking of general usage
the system has slowed down a bit
compared to iOS 7.1.2
but that's okay, because we are sure everything will improve with new updates
That's been it, thank you for watching
