Apple announced iOS8 & OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) in WWDC 2014 today: Happy that i watched WWDC 2014 Live. Here is the summary of features added into iOS8: QuickType - Auto suggests or predicts the keywords from the types sentence, just like the app “SwiftKey”. Interactive Notifications - You can make actions within the notification centre without opening up the app. For Ex: tap on message to reply w/o going into Messages app. iMessage Groups, Self destructing Audio & Video, Location Sharing. Extensibility - Allows to interact between apps. TouchID API - Developers can use the Touch ID for authentication. HealthKit - Tracks Health HomeKit - Automate you Home devices CloudKit - Store app’s database schema SpriteKit - SceneKit & lots of other additions Siri Features: * “Hey Siri” wakes up the digital assistant, Hence hereafter No need to Long tap the Home button or take the phone near to your ear to talk to Siri. *

Got this buggy screen, when i asked Siri to Post to Facebook and tapped on the Edit buton to compose my message, which eventually brought up the keyboard just after sending an SMS through my cellular Network, which brings up an Alert screen with a single "Dismiss" button at the bottom.  So, the Alert's "Dimiss" button got hidden by keyboard in this use case and i was finally unable to access my device.  Neither tapping on home button worked nor tapping on the power button worked.  Finally, i had to Restart the device for further usage. 

Got this screen while i was trying to download some app and my internet connection was fluctuating. 

iOS7 Messages App Bug. Occurred when i was switching back and forth between Home Screen & App Switcher & the Messages App. I was able to solve this only by removing the app running from the Background.

iOS 7.1 Beta 3 Brings New iPhone Call Screens, New Power Off Slider Apple has just seeded developers with iOS 7.1 beta 3 and it brings some notably changes including new iPhone call screens. The buttons to make call, accept call, decline call, and end call are now rounded. Additionally, the Remind Me and Message buttons presented when receiving a call are now smaller icons.
