To despise iOS7?

[MalcolmTuckersMistress]

What kind of twattery is this??!

I like it too , treated myself to a new cover so feels like a new phone.

How do you close the apps please? On the old system it was a dble click on the button and holding a finger on the showing apps whilst they danced and you could close them from there. But not now. Anyone?

Double click on the button and you get all your open apps across the screen - not just the icons, but the actual screen in miniature. You can scroll thought them and tap on one to go back to it, or flick it up to close it.

It's apparently a swipe across and? upwards. If you google "how to close apps in iOS 7" you'll find some good articles. There was a good one in the Telegraph with tips.

I've downloaded it to my iphone. I'm ok with it. Lots of good stuff but Siri sounds crap.

Love :)

Siri does sound muffled, nothing to do with using it more!

I've just downloaded it on to my iPad. When I try and scroll the page up from the bottom, that quick screen pops up, can I get rid of that?

Tsk tsk. You shouldnt judge it quite so quickly, give it a few days at least...

The issues with rapid battery depletion that some people have had may just be due to all the apps updating?? >

(Unless you don't mind sneaky Apple invading your privacy)
There are plenty of other sites giving info on this too but I thought the advice in the link given above is nice and straightforward.

So far, I quite like IOS7 but I won't ever admit it as I still haven't forgiven Apple for dumping google maps. I know I can use Streetview on other apps but it's just not the same

Google maps has been back on the App Store for ages ;)

Yes google maps.
However, go onto the map app that comes as standard. Select two random locations. Click 3D and then Hybrid.. Gives you a street view with traffic if you select the traffic option.

It's not the same though... I want the original full screen intergrated one

Thank you TootsFroots very informative I have updated my settings :)

Well I've upgraded my iPad and my iPhone 4 now. Not everything is available on my phone eg the dynamic wallpapers and it's really slowed everything up but I like it in general.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the new calendar views. I'm sure I used to have mine in weekly and now I can't but I may be imaging it. I didn't use list or day view on my phone and now it seems I'll have to?

And for the person who asked upthread why people have Apple and not android phones, the main reason for my DH and I is because we have got hundreds (if not thousands) of albums stored in iTunes and we use all our Apple products for music. It would be a nightmare I think to convert everything to another format/re-rip all our CDs.

Oh, and we like Apple :)

Tsk tsk. You shouldnt judge it quite so quickly, give it a few days at least

I don't need a few days to understand that it's fugly :)

And Toots for that link. I thought I'd gone through and found most of those sneaky setting but missed that one.

CuppaTea - the quick access screen only pops up if you start your scrolling right at the bottom of the page. If you don't touch the very bottom of the screen, it won't appear.

Thanks TootsFroots - have updated. Aren't they sneaky?

Mirai, it used to do that with the previous iOS but more randomly, not every time. Even more annoying ime because you weren't expecting it.

Mirai, that's pretty much my problem too only I think you have explained it better. Everything vanishes and I am logged out of here for example. This never happened with the version of safari that is still on the other iPad

I have tried searching online and can't find the problem reported anywhere or a fix :(
