how much does ios8 take up these days? 3-4gb?

Carlv8415 · Oct 20, 2014

iOS was like 4.6GB and 8.1 was 1.6GB

Not much tbf, 958MB is what it is atm I think, but for me as I don't have a computer I'd ideally do it just from the phone but it asks for 4.7GB of storage space to do it that way.

Was discussed earlier on in the thread, there's good reason but I'll still moan about it because I want to :wink:.

SMS text messages are now working perfectly on my MacBook Pro and iPad Mini.

12.7gb left on my 16gb phone...

Is there anyway round using up your home broadband to update as the update requires wifi but we only have 20gb a month so if me, the gf and the iPad all update, that's almost all our data usage gone ? We don't have a pc or laptop either.

Adam D · Oct 21, 2014

I don't think there is, the easiest way is probably finding a Cloud hotspot or a McDonalds to use the free WiFi.

MattW · Oct 21, 2014

You'll be sat for quite some time in McD's!! The download isn't as big as the amount of space that you need to leave - if that makes sense. It needs that amount of space to "do" the installation, but it won't use that much of your home BB.

Not updated to 8.1 yet, but tbh I have basically no issues on my ipad air, or iphone 5S with iOS 8.0

Gorms · Oct 21, 2014

Backup before you do the 8.1 update. Mine has done a full restore and update for some reason!

Tom · Oct 21, 2014

8.1 fixed my air.

Rob · Oct 22, 2014

I'm still yet to see whether 8.1 has fixed my "sticking" notifications issue.

I still need an ipad mini ffs.

Ben, has it sycnd all of your SMS messages in iMessage on your MBP or only the ones you've recieved since turning on message share?

AK · Oct 22, 2014

Another update, another fight to find the free space for no real reason, lol.

My 5 needed 69mb and my Air needed 90mb.

Just delete a couple of songs and re download when finished.

AK · Oct 22, 2014

iPhone needs somewhere in the region of 6-700mb [emoji31]

Only the ones I've received since turning it on which is a little annoying but at least it forwards every message now. Even the ones I send from my iPad. Has yours done the same?

Click the Wifi icon on the top bar and your iphone should appear.

Done that, just asks me to enter my hotspot password.

Yeh, enter it then? Connects and won't ask you for it again.

But that isn't instant hotspot as its done via iCloud. That's just saving a network password?

MicKPM · Oct 22, 2014

It is only instant if you add it to your networks and then prioritise it. Then your devices will use it over other networks automatically if they are unavailable.

@Ben- Yeah that's how mine is functioning (now) but I thought it would at least pull the contents of my current SMS on the iPhone in to iMessage on my MBP. Thank for confirming I don't have an issue though.

Are you on iOS 8 at all yet?

:confounded: Whatever the password is on personal hotspot on your phone is, enter that. it will then link and you can switch it on/ off from your mac. Easy enough isn't it? Works for me anyway.

Is 8.1 worth getting? What's different to the previous one that came out a couple of weeks ago?

Tom · Oct 23, 2014

Bug fixes. Lots of them too.

cat171 · Oct 23, 2014

Cheers, I'll bam it out tonight.

eugegall · Oct 23, 2014

With 8.1 is there still a massive delay when swiping to answer a call?

I banged it on, it was super quick too, only took about five minutes

I had to go to sleep though so I've not had a bash yet (I probably won't notice anythnig anyway) :expressionless:

Not for me it wasn't and still not fixed after installing 8.1 the other day.

dk · Oct 26, 2014

I'd do a restore then as I had the issue and it's now not an issue after the first update.

Deeg · Oct 26, 2014

I keep having an issue with safari, where the address bar disappears under the time etc status bar at the top of the screen.

If you scroll down quickly it should reappear

AK · Oct 26, 2014

Just tap the top it'll appear again.

I think iOS 8 has haunted my iPhone. Siri keeps activating on its own and just says 'hello?'. Freaks you out a bit when it wakes you up in the middle of the night. Not so much the third time.

Tom · Oct 27, 2014

When plugged in? Disable the hey Siri thing

I've just had my 5S swapped because of Siri / voice control activating itself.

It was driving me absolutely mental.
