Leaked Image Suggests 'Voice Memo' Will Return in Future iOS 7 Beta Release

[MacRumors]

A leaked image from a WWDC developer session is making the rounds, showing that the Voice Memo app that isn't currently included in the iOS 7 Beta 1 will make an appearance in a future release.

Also, a tipster tells us the release notes for the first iOS 7 Beta mention the Voice Memo app:

Voice Memos - Known Issues

The VoiceMemos app is not available in this seed.

The Voice Memo app doesn't seem to appear in any of the iOS 7 marketing materials on Apple's website, but developers should see it in a future iOS 7 beta release and we expect it to be included in the final iOS 7 release this fall.

oh my GOD that icon.

 

[Klae17]

I gotta say, any icon is better than what they used to be under Forstall.

 

[AppleInLVX]

Well, that's a relief. I use that app all the time.

 

[TWSS37]

Is that a seismograph app icon?

 

[Jamesesesesess]

Lemme pray that they're busy working on an entirely new set of icons. Messy.

 

[WhackyNinja]

I knew Apple wouldnt kill off the Voice Memos app

 

[eawmp1]

Is that a seismograph app icon?

A polygraph tracing. The iPhone will know if you lie.

Yeah... because a squiggly line is more indicative of "voice recording" than a microphone.

 

[ZacNicholson]

I think someone said this a few days ago in the iOS 7 forums

 

[Oggers1972]

Looks like the clock face on the clock app isn't live updating on this image (unlike some others)

That is funny.

This is not news. In the BETA one release notes it specifically says it was left out of BETA 1 seed.

"Voice Memos
Known Issues

The VoiceMemos app is not available in this seed."

 

[bushido]

lol didnt even notice that its been missing and ugh those icons still not used to them. look like some ugly winterboard theme still

also no more live clock and that "leaked" live weather still absent? shame

 

[Peace]

Is that a seismograph app icon?

It's an audio wave .

 

[TWSS37]

It's an audio wave .

Got it, but thanks.

 

[iLilana]

marketing vs design

they need to combine

 

[TWSS37]

A polygraph tracing. The iPhone will know if you lie.

Hardly 'revolutionary' - the NSA has had this feature for about 10 years now!

 

[ggamecrazy]

If Apple doesn't provide it, I am sure there will be hundreds of apps that will fill that void.

Come on man, ain't nobody got time to read release notes.

 

[phatspider]

If you go into Settings -> General -> Usage and then click Show All Apps you'll see the following :

com.Apple.VoiceMemos 0kb

And an even more ugly icon!

 

[henrystar]

It's an audio wave .

During the delay, Morse Code will be available.

 

[MartyF81]

Come on man, ain't nobody got time to read release notes.

Right, or even read previous messages in this thread explaining it. Or even "Research" before posting an article. lol amazing.

 

[Tom8]

I think the absence of a stock app shows just how much of a work in progress iOS 7 is.

 

[iAmUndefined]

Insane

I gotta say, any icon is better than what they used to be under Forstall.

You're insane.
