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

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
a feature that I wanted iBooks to have for a long time:
Books can now be categorized into series.

So good.
 
This thread is going to be a huge mess if the OP is not going to be keeping a list in the first post. Why even start it if you're not gonna do it??
 
Is the play all videos button back in videos? or something else to play videos back to back? My girlfriend really missed that from ios6.
 
so is there not a master list being compiled by someone? this is a useless thread without one.
 
I think the only way to find out the new languages with Siri dictation is to enable keyboards of those languages in the Settings. Can someone try Turkish for me, thanks ;)!

For the people who don't restart their phones very often...

"Touch ID requires your passcode ager 48 hours"

Just got that message. I was already annoyed about having to type it in every time I restart! I wish the passcode could be made optional when using Touch ID.
 
Full screen picture

I know it's not the most exciting feature, but can a developer check if the full screen calling pictures are really back? They were shown during the demos and they are present on apple.com, but one person already said that he's still stuck with the circled photo.
Maybe you gotta add the picture again, straight from camera roll, or sync it with the Facebook app. So please could a developer check if they're really back?

It's not there, I tried everything.
 
Here is greyscale mode. If you take a screenshot, it does not show it as greyscale when you revert back to colour.

Can someone look at the settings for Music under EQ? In iOS 7, exactly one setting, "Night Mode" is global, in other words it effects the EQ of the sound from *all* audio output, regardless of which app is producing it, whether the app is Spotify, or the built in music player, or anything at all. Do any of the other settings do this too now or are there any other new EQ features? I can't install the beta to find out.
 
Did they improve the music app on iOS? Hopefully they were able to being back some of the functions under iOS 6.
 
In the weather app, you now scroll down to see more information as opposed to tapping on the temperature as in iOS 7. I prefer how you do it in iOS 7. However, more days are available to see now.
