Yesterday Apple announced iOS 8 for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. With iOS 8, Apple has updated its notification center, now allowing users to reply directly from a notification, even from the lockscreen. Third-party apps can now offer widgets for the notification center as well. Additionally, double tapping not only gets you to the multi-tasking function, but also shows the people you contact the most for more quick-access functionality.
Mail with iOS 8 has been enhanced as well, with new actions added for flagging and marking to read later. You can also swipe an email draft down on the iPad so that you can search through other messages. With the new Spotlight, iOS 8 pulls from a wider variety of sources, letting you search for apps, text messages, songs, and news.With iOS 8, there is now an easy way to share photos, calendars, and reminders with friends and family with Family Sharing. Using GPS, parents can even locate their kids devices. Purchases can be also shared with through Family Sharing—don't worry, parents, kids have to get your permission before purchasing apps.
