First look at iOS 8

I downloaded iOS8 Beta 4 and started to play with it to see what to expect, and here are some screenshots and details of what's new:



Apparently, Apple is trying to standardize "In Case of Emergancy" data for users. The Medical ID App also appears to have the ability to maintain medically related data, like historical blood pressure, weight, and many other data points that you manually enter.


The iMessage screen looks a bit different as well. Emojicons have been enabled by default, and the icon to get to them has changed. They have also added suggested words above the keyboard. If you tap on details, you can send your current location to someone, without going to Find My Friends. They have also added Voice to iMessages.


There appears to be so e work being done to the Camera App as well. A self timer has been added and a new mode for Time Lapse Photography.

Editing Photos will be easier also, they have added a rotation dial and more function for color correction.


Something else I found interesting, Apple appears to have fixed the Facebook based video as viewed through Safari. Yes, this did play through Safari.


Apple has also added a Tips App to help everyone realize the new features available on the new iOS 8
