Apple iOS 8.1 Review: Bug Fixes and Improvements of New Apple iPhone 6 OS

Apple recently released a new version of its operating system —the iOS 8.1. For those who are wondering about Apple's iOS 8.1, here's a hands-on review.

Apple claims that its iOS 8.1 can give users a complete experience—one that is smoothly useful, natural and comprehensive.

Among the major areas where improvements or innovations were made are message sending, sharing, and photo search. All of these are frequently used features, and as such the changes are much welcome.

For message sending, it's now possible to send both audio and video messages, something that only used to be done through third-party apps. Now, this feature is native to the iOS 8.1.

Sharing has also been made easier and streamlined, particularly in the matter of sharing downloaded purchases. Another user whom you allow can share in the items that you bought or downloaded from the App Store, iBooks, and iTunes. They don't need to log on to your Apple account anymore, which was what many used to do, and which actually seemed like a security risk of sorts even if it was done with your knowledge and permission.

Photo or picture search has also become easier to do, with more improved features such as better filtering. This means that if you happen to have a pretty good number of images stored, you won't have such a hard time anymore in trying to find what you are specifically looking for. You can use the improved filtering to easily locate what you want, even the pictures that you took a long, long time ago.
