Now I am even more confused. "itouch" is not a feature or a device, but it sounds like you are talking about TouchID, which is a feature specific to iPhone 5S. No software can cause it work on the iPad Air, as it lacks the hardware for this to happen. The next iPad model will likely have it though.

Yes, people need to start to understand that there is no "iTouch".

1) are you able to customize control center? 9to5mac posted a roundup video that showed we can now customize share sheets by holding down the icons; wondering if the same for control center.

2) are there any additional settings for imessage read receipts? was hoping that you could pick what contacts are able to see if you've read a message or not vs everyone/no one.

thanks!!

Not sure if it's been said, but images can now be viewed or inserted in the stock notes app :)

Moderator Note:

Sadly the creator of the original thread, nor the previous version, is up to the task of managing the list for iOS 8.

If someone is interested in creating / maintaining an iOS 8 feature list, we can look into making it into a Sticky, as in the case of the iOS7 version. The previous list was a great asset to many people here on MacRumors in the past.

If someone has the time, and feels they are active enough on MacRumors to take on this task, please shoot me a PM. It won't be an official MacRumors Job, however, the work will be greatly appreciated by the forum community!

I'd love to do it, but I would only be able to update it once a day though so don't feel that I'd be the best fit.

iOS 8 allows me to access my Starbucks card directly from the lock screen. It still prompts me to enter my passcode to unlock the phone. I would imagine that all Passbook cards will now be accessible from the lock screen.

You could always access your Starbucks card from the lock screen.. You just needed to set up your favourite Starbucks locations in the app and whenever you were nearby one of those stores it would pop up on the lock screen.

Can someone please check if Siri has any new languages? I'm waiting specifically for Swedish. Thanks!

OK I am confused now but was "Manual Exposure" control part of the Camera app before ?!?

If I tap to focus, I get a small brightness star next to the focus box which I can slide up and down to control exposure :cool:

Cool - works on a 5C too. Thought maybe it would be a 5S only thing (like Auto HDR).

The slide to go back feature in Safari is a lot easier to slide now. It's butter-smooth. :eek:

Overall the new Safari is a lot better on the iPad.
