iOS 8.1: What you need to know

More than a week has passed since Apple released its update to iOS 8 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Apple seems to have fixed some of the problems that emerged after last month in iOS 8.0. iOS 8.1 problems are a big issues with some iPhone and iPad users ranging from bad Bluetooth to apps to random reboots. It has also been a growing trend of users saying that iOS 8.1 has made battery life drop. The iPhone’s history of bad battery has been known to decrease after months of heavy usage. Even though the new iPhone 6 and 6 plus battery life is supposed to be better than recent iPhones. This may be the biggest trending problem of the new update but there are still other problems that continue to be known by users.

 Landscape issues where the iPhone 6 would get stuck in landscape mode after moving from portrait mode has been cleaned up from iOS 8.0.2 but there still persist some issues that need to be cleaned up with it. Reloading the app sometimes fixes this glitch but I have heard of some users having to even restart the phone to make the problem go away. iMessenger has also had some bug issues. I read that one user had a group thread split into separate threads on its own. Alerts from iMessage have also been malfunctioning saying that a message was not received even though the person received the message due to their response. I would not download the new update until Apple fixes the bugs on iOS 8.1. So what should you iPhone users do in the meantime? Search the web for temporary fixes. Apple will continue to take up your already none expandable space on your phones to continue to fix ongoing problems. Here is a link to help with temporary bug fixes.
