Quick audio recordings in messages....

[Small White Car]

But that's the thing, I've NEVER had any problem with it since being in a pocket doesn't have the "skin" sense. Never butt dialed anyone, never had anything activate in my pocket before until now

Really? Whenever I do this I'm always accidentally calling people from my favorites list.

It cured me of the habit pretty quickly.

I don't know how you've gotten so lucky for so long, but welcome to the world the rest of us inhabit. We all either lock our phones or suffer embarrassing situations. Welcome to the club.

Odd. Locking the phone before putting it in my pocket is a muscle memory reflex on par with putting on a seatbelt. What would be the reason for anyone not to do it?

It seems like someone mentioned there's an option to enabled/disable raise to speak in Messages in iOS 8 beta 2. So hopefully that's there and that it would help with something like this.

Gee, I wonder why Apple released this new feature that everyone thought was just user error.

Well, having the option for this is fairly normal, but not locking the phone when putting it somewhere where something still can get accidentally activated is still on the user.

It's only on the user if they have the "raise to speak" toggle enabled and do that. I'll continue to let my phone lock itself after 1 minute if I don't lock it manually myself.

Plenty of other in intended things can happen aside from that. Just because they haven't been happening to you doesn't mean that it's still the right/appropriate thing to do. It's fairly simple and straightforward logic. Certainly people can choose to ignore it, but that doesn't change it.

Sorry for asking a tangential question, but what happens if you send an audio or video recording to someone on iOS 7 or earlier?

They do get it but open from another app. They can't play it on the thread.

 

[CrAkD]

Thank god for the option so tired of sending these things

 

[jclardy]

its not a user error, I have never locked my phone before putting it in my pocket....whats the purpose of locking it? The lock as designed as a security feature....

this has happened to me alot in the last few days....there needs to be a fix

No, the screen lock is implemented to prevent accidental input. Maybe it is before your time, but old phones had a keypad lock where you had to enter two keys before you could use the phone to prevent butt dialing.

They should have the option...but how do you put your phone in your pocket without accidentally texting random characters? Screen side out? As your leg can trigger the touchscreen...

Also if you get any notifications while in the "not locked" period you will essentially miss them unless you seek them out in notification center if you pull out your phone after it is auto-locked.

Just seems strange to me as I lock the phone and put it in my pocket with a single motion, but to each his own I guess.

Y'all must have skinny ass jeans on if your leg is able to press the keys through 2 layers of fabric. Yeesh.

On an unlocked screen things can get activated sometimes even without direct skin contact.

I personally think that if you are so lazy that you can't reach your finger up and hit the lock button, which takes a fraction of a second, you've got some serious problems. It's not like you're getting out of hitting the home button and sliding to unlock because it's still being set to autolock after 1 minute.

While I do lock my phone in my pocket one thing I have encountered is that I tend to put my phone on my desk by holding the top and bottom of the phone, and my finger tends to be near the proximity sensor which then sets off the voice recording. So things like this may also be a reason for adding the option.

Put my phone in my pocket unlocked on the home screen, pulled it up and spotlight was activated. Seriously, why not lock your phone? Makes no sense.

You must be doing something wrong then. I've never had that happen to me.

I just love how Apple themselves realized this wasn't just user error and was an actual bug so they added a toggle to disable raise to speak...yet all y'all are still too stubborn to accept that fact that it isn't just user error.

It's not a matter of being lazy. It's the fact that it shouldn't activate in your pocket like that and they fixed it.

Again, just because you haven't ran into something by chance doesn't make the use of it appropriate or right. Because the next time you will run into something odd by chance you'll look for other explanations when the simplest one of locking the phone has always been right there.

Apple realized they need to control it like they so with Siri raise to speak, not necessarily becuse of some users not using the phone properly. There is a difference.

I was being facetious.

Cool brah, keep telling yourself that.

I literally put the phone into my pocket and pulled it back out again. Not sure how I could be doing that wrong.
