 Apple unveils iOS 8, the biggest release since the launch of the App Store

[cfsp key=adsense_336x280]Apple today unveiled iOS 8, the biggest release 
since the launch of the App Store, giving users incredible new features and 
developers the tools to create amazing new apps. iOS 8 delivers a simpler, 
faster and more intuitive user experience, including iCloud® Photo Library, 
allowing you to enjoy your photos and videos more easily across your devices; 
new Messages features to easily share voice, video or photos with just a swipe; 
and an entirely new Health app that gives you a clear overview of your health 
and fitness data all in one place. iOS 8 also includes predictive typing for 
Apple’s QuickType™ keyboard; Family Sharing, the easiest way to share 
purchases, photos and calendars within the same household; and iCloud Drive™, 
so you can store files and access them from anywhere.

“iOS 8 offers simpler, faster and more intuitive ways to use your device with 
incredible new features like iCloud Photo Library, a new Messages app, the 
QuickType keyboard and an entirely new Health app,” said Craig Federighi, 
Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “We’re also giving 
developers amazing new tools to make managing your health and your home from 
your devices an integrated, simple and secure experience.”

In iOS 8, the Photos app and iCloud Photo Library give you access to all of 
your photos and videos anytime, anywhere. Your photos are easy to find and are 
organized consistently across your enabled devices. The Photos app can 
automatically straighten horizons and with smart editing tools, you can quickly 
adjust light and color or access individual tools for deeper fine-tuning. With 
iCloud Photo Library, every adjustment and effect is automatically updated 
across your devices.

Conversations in Messages become more immersive with the ability to communicate 
with just a swipe. Tap to Talk allows you to share your voice and the same 
simple gesture also works for sharing videos and photos within Messages. Group 
messaging now gives you the ability to add and remove contacts, leave a 
conversation and the option to not be disturbed. Users can easily browse 
through all of the photos and videos within a conversation and share multiple 
photos and videos at once. You can choose to share your current location from 
within Messages for an hour, a day or longer.

The new Health app gathers the information you choose from your various health 
apps and fitness devices, and provides you with a clear and current overview in 
one place. iOS 8 offers developers the ability for health and fitness apps to 
communicate with each other. With your permission, each app can use specific 
information from other apps to provide a more comprehensive way to manage your 
health and fitness. For example, the Nike+ apps using NikeFuel will be able to 
pull in other key HealthKit metrics such as sleep and nutrition to build a 
custom user profile and improve athletic performance.

New predictive typing for Apple’s QuickType keyboard is smarter and more 
personalized, and intelligently takes context into account, such as who the 
recipient is and in which app you’re typing. QuickType understands the way you 
communicate, suggesting favorite phrases, so you can write entire sentences 
with just a few taps. What the keyboard learns is encrypted on your device and 
never sent to the cloud.

iOS 8 introduces Family Sharing, making it easier than ever to communicate and 
share purchases, photos and calendars within the same household. Family members 
can browse and download each other’s iTunes®, iBooks® or App Store purchases.

It is supposed to predict what you wish to type based on content.
