Release notes

Overview

Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.

iOS 8 expanded everyday communication and media workflows with richer Messages, deeper Photos editing, new Camera modes, predictive and third-party keyboards, Family Sharing, iCloud Drive, and the Health app.[1][2]

The release also linked iPhone, iPad, and Mac through Continuity, opened new extension and authentication capabilities to developers, and shipped a broad security repair set covering protected data, Safari, Wi-Fi privacy, and lower-level system components.[3][4][5][6]
