I think it did. One time I set a reminder to call someone. In the app, I saw a link that provided quick dialing of the contact's phone number. I have to say, it'd be nice to have that feature back. Not that I miss it.
There is actually a ability to delete message from conversation.
You need to tap at a message, wait 3 seconds and then click "more".
Then you can normal delete messages like in iOS 6.
Silent Mode Indicator
Has anyone else noticed the Silent Mode (vibration) indicator is missing from the bar at the top of the screen? It used to have a picture of a bell with a line through it when Vibe was on but its gone now. Minor but still frustrating.

That has never been a feature of iOS. It was only possible through Jailbreaking.
I'm guessing you used to be jailbroken?
That has not happened to me yet. That is odd.

Nope, you have ot add them.
I use Get Lyrical on the Mac- fantastic.
Oh wow...I was but I dont remember ever adding that feature. Ok then well I feel stupid.
This is horrible! It was always SLIDE TO ANSWER and double-pressing sleep button on the lock screen! Why do people always say it's iOS 7's fault? IN THIS CASE, IT'S YOUR MEMORY'S FAULT!!!
In iOS 6 the decline call option was also available on the lock screen as well (behind a pull up menu).
You can still ask siri to send a tweet or fb post. But yes i used to like the ability to do the same from the notification centre
Theres the door - > so long.
The OS came out last month and people act like end of the world. I like iOS 5 stability and the maps app, then went to iOS 6 and it sucked the look was same with nothing new for iPhone 4 but I lost my maps. However by the end of iOS 6 it was a good OS. This didnt happen in the first month it took over half a year of updates.
Having been initially stung by iOS 6 I got the beta of iOS 7 and the 3rd beta was astonishing and should of been where we left the phone. It had Panoramic wallpapers and my favourite custom labels for contacts information, something thats not in the final iOS on iPhone 4 but is mentioned in Apples new iOS 7 manuals for iPhone and iPad.
Also I don't like the dock frosted colour screwing up wallpapers or wallpapers being stretched and I hate Control Centre greyover the nice Notification black.
Maps is still a joke as my city in the UK is still about 7 years out of date and you zoom in to far you get no image.
Standard voice controls are a joke still too.
And the issue of a file system to store incomin documents for use with Apples peoductivity and creativity apps.
There are many things wrong but they will be fixed and improved upon. Prople keep saying theyve had enough and are looking elsewhere should just shut up or go. Stop looking for attention.

Yes I would like to see the buttons back in a future update in control centre though. Does feel weird having intergration in settings but no post to ability outside of siri. We dont always want to talk outloud what we want to post, theres also tweets in safari that feels out of place due to lack of interaction.
My guess is that these features were buggy and will arrive in a future update to iOS 7.
I remember the big backlash about iOS 6. Not only was Maps a disaster (it's gotten a lot better in the US, though), Exchange access had issues that took nearly 2 months to resolve. My employer and lots of others recommended holding off and published lists of workarounds for those of us with the iPhone 5 or who had already upgraded. It seems every new iOS release has battery drain issues at the start.
People gripe about what we "lost" but don't mention what we've gained. I like the control center. My Nexus One had broadly similar functionality back in January 2010 and it's nice to see it make its way to iOS in a typical elegant Apple fashion.
What's probably more helpful than posting complaints here is providing feedback through formal channels about legitimate functionality you'd like to see return. No, Apple isn't going to "go back" to the Scott Forstall era of skeumorphism, etc. Apparently the look and feel of a UI is one area that Jony Ive and Steve Jobs didn't see eye to eye. But we might see some functionality added, just as we saw most of the bugs in iOS 6 fixed.
Probably mentioned but maybe not here.
Automatic App Update is off. Unless I go into the App Store first, there is no indication of # of apps waiting to be updated.

Great post.
Agreed too many jump on the hate band wagon not rememering what happened before. I hope the lost functionality does come back as it was really useful stuff.
As for the look of iOS 7 I like it. Im tired of felt and stitching. A nice colourful bright interface looks good. I dont think Ive was totally against the old look but he does prefer this clean simplified style as its much more inline with his ethos.
Why do I keep seeing posts about custom labels? What's wrong with the custom labels they have implemented? Am I missing something?
Number highlighting when using keypad in Enter Passcode on my iPad. A function gone by way of Ive's hatchet job, making the user interface less intuitive and more difficult to use. This iOS isn't State-of-the-Art like some want to believe.
