I guess it would require HW support. And if Apple added it, they would boast immediately.
I haven't see the feature on any smartphone for long long time. My last phone which had it was old symbian Nokia e51 😉
Got a tip for us?

You already can. Duck Duck Go has had an app for years, also some 3rd party browsers let you set Duck Duck Go as your default search.

As Spotlight now searches across more platforms, are you also now able to use it to do a quick Google search for something or do you still need to open up Safari to do this?
This is one feature which I love to bits!!! My son is often put into these ridiculous threads by 'friends' and then constantly gets messages from other people in that thread - even when he doesn't know the people in the thread (because so many have been added) THANK YOU APPLE...!!!! 🙂
....dayam - is this really true? You can only leave a thread if its an iMessage thread? Can you not leave if its a standard text message thread? 😡
Why......?!🙁

Because SMS is completely different, you can how ever block the contacts if you wish to not receive messages from these people. SMS is not really group messaging, it just sends one message per each person you've added as a receiver. The replies will come to their own conversations as there is no way to tell which ones belong to the "group conversation".

For some reason my phone only has two options under Location Services, Always or Never. Gonna have to look into this more, but just something I noticed.
sorry if mentioned but does anyone know if safari still reloads a page each time you go back to it? - annoying as hell if like me you open several pages to then go in and read later

How does the medical card from the lock screen work? I haven't seen any screenshots of it. Or has it just not been implemented yet?
Can anyone try if it is now possible to use a sim only with ipad to receive calls / activate imessage with number?
Also:
Is it now possible to use two iphones with different numbers to receive all calls through just one? (Would be a nice "dual sim" feature)
Are the calling/sms features only supported through bluetooth or also through wlan (see comment below)?

Could someone please explain what this DuckDuckGo search engine seems to be so highly liked and how it differs from say Google or Bing? Thanks
In other beta news, downloaded and installed on my 5s last night.. Wow! What an outstanding beta. I've come across only a few little bugs, but things are so fluid and responsive. The QuickType keyboard is awesome and so responsive and quick. Watching suggested words come across the screen as I type is great, and makes typing longer words a lot quicker and convenient. As someone mentioned before, feels like iOS 6! Great release, can't wait till we see new feature included in future betas.
Also, anyone successfully get continuity to work correctly on a Mac with a Yosemite preview?

This has always worked on iPhone. You can switch your phone off, the alarm will sound (if set).
Why not just try things out before posting false statements.
I probably should've clarified on that one.
On apple apps, i see the three options. On third party apps, i see only Always or Never. I'm assuming that EITHER this feature must be added by developers, or it will be fixed/added in a future release.
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!

Not sure if this is my iPhone only or for UK, but Spotlight Suggestions doesn't work. I would have thought that it would use the same results as Siri does, because Siri gives me the same information requested, e.g. a movie playing in theatres.
Anyone else from UK checked it out?
----------
On the Lock screen you click on Emergency, and then click on Medical ID. It gives the information you entered, plus it allows you to call the emergency contact that's been added.

Is the Family sharing feature already out? Can´t find it in the App store nor with Spotlight.
And which apps can be already configured into the Health app?

Oh yeah. Just used to a slight delay whilst it read my finger print, but guess it's become faster.
Just did a quick test on my iPhone 5 with IOS7. Phone remained turned off at the moment, when alarm shall ring. Alarm sounded 5 minutes later, just after manually turning on the phone.

I tried on my iPad Mini (first generation Wi-Fi only) and it came up as an authorization error when I activated it. As many MR users have stated before I wouldn't advise downloading the beta unless you are a registered developer.
