1. New iOS 8 features
At WWDC, Apple has revealed many new iOS 8 features, but it didn’t opened up all secrete
features those it is testing with this beta release. So let’s check some of them in brief with the help
of social media like Twitter, where many iOS 8 app developers who are testing the beta version,
leaked some secretes.
Greater Customization Abilities
Among those iOS 8 app developers, Hamza Sood is pioneer to use Twitter. According to his tweets,
we can assume that Apple is going to give more power of customization of iOS 8 in the hands of
iOS 8 app developers. Based on his images on Twitter, we can say that there are internal setting for
customizing Control Center.
In this image, we can see obvious room for customization through setting buttons for Airplane
Mode, Wi-Fi, Personal Hotspot, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb (Privacy settings), and Portrait
Orientation Lock.
Along with these,some shortcut buttons like: Flash Light, SBCCTimerShortcut,
SBCCCalcualtorShortcut, SBCCCameraShortcut, and Record Screen toggle buttons reveals more
room for shortcut setting than ever before.

2. Moreover, Sood also revealed some hidden code that indirectly prove the testing of system wide
LinkedIn integration, offline dictation, a fingerprint scanner and many more features. However,
introduction of third-party widgets like Keyboards clearly indicates the intentions of Apple to open
up iOS platform more for iOS 8 app developers. Thus, it wants to have its supremacy against the
Android like opensource intact.
Intact Security Features
No doubt, Apple is opening up its iOS platform gradually to the iOS 8 app developers, but never on
the cost of the security of its users anyway and anyhow. For instance, it has introduced third-party
widgets like keyboards, UI display controls like colors, text colors, text fonts, text size, and many
more. However, it has placed an intermediary system, which is constantly monitoring actions and
activities and offer enough tools to control authentication of those widgets.
Additional Apps
Apart from these customizing abilities, Apple has introduced some easy to use and useful new apps
such as standalone version of iTunes Radio along with a Buy Button that is visible on the Control
Center when listening to iTunes Radio allowing you to buy audios straight forward from the app. It
has offered TextEdit and Preview features for third-party apps in order to access Siri.
Good News for Weather Lovers
Apple has removed Yahoo! From its meteorological data needs, instead it has allowed the Weather
Channel (TWC) directly. Thus, iOS 8 app developers have more room to include nine-day weather
forecasts in their bespoken apps and can include the weather summary at the bottom of the app.
This one is quite encouraging news for weather lovers to plan their trips and business plans, in
advance.
Some Miscellaneous Features
Inclusion of photo inserting abilities in the Notes app makes life easy for iOS 8 app developers.
Same the way capacities to hide images from the Photo app may open some interesting ensues for
iOS 8 app developers. No doubt, Map features are in improved conditions it also allows indoor
mapping through M7 processors and iPhone motion sensors for CoreLocation API. This feature
offers many new applications for big Academy venues, Airports, and event managements with some
new tools.
