Yeah I had to do the same thing, also noticed Apple moved it from the right side to the left side, assuming your talking about iPad here.
I reverted back to iOS 7, will wait till Apple releases an update to iOS 8 before I upgrade back to iOS 8, I had too many problems with it. Then again, I really like the way my devices are performing under iOS 7 (5S & iPad 2), I might just leave them this way, old saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
