In "Apple unveils iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite" Apple CEO Tim Cook took the stage at the company's annual Worldwide
Developers Conference in San Francisco on Monday to announce the latest
features for iPhones, iPads and Macs.Apple unveiled iOS 8, an update to the operating system that powers iPhones and iPads.
One of the biggest additions to iOS 8 is a new HealthKit application.
The app will monitor users' heart rates, sleep, activity and breathing
among other health-related information. But other changes are
far more subtle than in years past. After last year's complete makeover,
iOS 8 includes oft-requested fixes, such as interactive notifications,
suggested words when typing and quicker access to contacts.With interactive notifications, iOS 8 will allow users to respond to texts or like something on Facebook
directly from the notification even on the lock screen. A double tap
on the home button reveals several frequent contacts, allowing you to
call, message or email those people with two quick taps. And a new
predictive text feature allows you to type, and iOS 8 will suggest the
next word based on your typing history.
