Apple just released iOS 8.1, an update for devices that support iOS 8. While the most talked-about feature has been Apple Pay, the company’s slick way to pay for things at a range of retailers and restaurants, there were also several features that have an impact on typing on iOS devices. For example, Apple has made improvements to Messages. Now you can use your iPad or Mac to send text messages to an iPhone. Apple has also fixed issues related to group messaging. We may also see more documents coming onto the iPad and iPhone from Macs as Apple rolls out Continuity, its set of features for bringing tighter integration between OS X and iOS.
The company has also addressed an issue that prevented VoiceOver, its text-to-speech feature, from working with third-party keyboards. And for those who like to use Adaptxt in landscape mode, Apple has also addressed issues that may prevent screen rotation at times.
To celebrate the arrival of iOS 8.1 and those new to the OS, we’ll be recapping some of the early media mentions of Adaptxt at the launch of iOS 8.
