iOS 8, All The Little Things! [Features Discovered in iOS 8]

• Notes - Now syncs with iCloud and Gmail ! I think before you had to have a @me.com account. Finally I can edit notes on the computer and have it synced to the phone.

This is not a new feature. I've been able to sync notes over Gmail's servers for a long time.

Still requires an iCloud-based email if you want to use iCloud.

Damn. But I know before you needed @me.com account to sync, at least now the @icloud.com account works. Multiple accounts in Notes is not new also? I'm pretty sure that's new.

I've had iCloud, Google, and Exchange accounts in Notes in iOS 7 if not even before.

• In clocks app, status bar on top is now visible, showing current time, battery info, etc.

Just checked an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 still on it and I can see the status bad while in the Clock app there as well.

Photo Metadata

Apologies if this has been answered already but I didn't see it while quickly browsing the many posts on this thread.

In iPhoto I was able to see the Metadata for a given image. Shutter Speed, Exposure etc. Since iPhoto is gone, is there a native way to view this info in the photos app?

I am happy that Apple seems to be opening up a little and allowing apps to talk to each other. I saw that Safari got some extensions, but will developers (specifically 1Password) be able to implement the extensions themselves, or will Apple decide who gets to get their hooks into Safari?

I'm just hoping Apple doesn't take this "allow third part app extensions" too far by comprising security too.

I'm not sure but I do know ExifWizard(Free) works great for this.

Hi all..

In iOS i found in Settings >> Music section, with 8.4.1, the "iCloud Library" option sometimes refuses to stay on and off.

eg.. When i turn icloud library on and go back, then go back in the option is now off and when turning off, and going back, its turned back on.

This is annoying and takes a few goes before it sticks. Anyone notice this ? Any fix? I'm signed into same ID use for AM.
