![]() Nothing is worse than sharing an Apple ID with family members, so you can all use the same apps-and having your kid/spouse/partner/Uncle Chester go nuts and spend a bunch of money on games and apps. Just make sure you've got space to take all the video. Or pay $4.99 for Frameographer (Opens in a new window), which adds the ability to do stop-motion video. If you want some more control, stick with the free app HyperLapse, from Instagram, which gives you more speed control, from 1x to 12x, and now supports the front camera for time-lapsed selfies-a selfielapse. All output is made with the goal of a 15- to 40-second video clip suitable for sharing. So a 10-minute video might come out displaying 2 frames from every second, totaling 15x in speed an 80-minute video might show only 1 frame every 4 seconds, or 120x. You don't control the speed much-iOS tries to pick the perfect duration for you. The new video option is accessed by opening the Camera app and swiping right to the end. You know, the kind of videos that show a building being constructed or a long highway trip from the dash-cam in just seconds. That's the ability to take a really long video and compress it down to just a few seconds. The opposite of Slo-Mo, which debuted with the iPhone 5 and iOS 7, is Time-Lapse (which is now possible on iPhone 5 on up with iOS 8). Choose wisely, depending on the space on your iPhone. Once it's on, access the uploaded photos on your iOS device by going into the Photos app and tapping the Photos tab (at the bottom).īecause any image you upload via iPhone Photo Library gets downloaded to your other iOS devices, you get extra options in settings to Optimize iPhone Storage (use smaller, lower-quality images) or Download and Keep Originals (higher quality images that take up more space). In fact, if you turn on iCloud Photo Library, your Photo Stream "disappears"-it's still there, it just isn't made visible in the Photos app. Apple iCloud Photo Library syncs everything, and also allows you to sync with MacOS. This isn't the same as Photo Stream (Opens in a new window), which syncs photos (no video) across all your iOS devices for 30 days or 1,000 photos. Go to the Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn on iCloud Photo Library. You can keep all your iPhone photos in iCloud (if you've paid to have enough space on the service). This story was originally published on Sept. Now go forth and be a master over every iOS 8 feature. (Apple haters can chime in now with the jokes.) But this roundup is for Apple fans. Even Android's customizability has a cost, in complexity and even stability. That's by design, as Apple is trying to create "the mobile operating systems for the masses," as PCMag put it. Of course, iOS is not as customizable as Android. ![]() Apple opened up iOS more to the makers of wearables (via HealthKit) and even to third-party app makers who now have some unprecedented (for Apple) access to the hardware. Power users of the iPhone-those of us who exploit that pocket computer as a lifeline to the office and home-will benefit highly by mastering this OS. We'll likely get a sneak peek at iOS 9 at June's WWDC, but if history is any indication, the full version won't arrive until the fall, so we have a couple more months to make the most out of iOS 8. Still, as PCMag found in our review, "Apple's latest update brings desirable functionality, improved navigation, and subtle design changes to an already solid mobile operating system."īy now we're up to the full 8.3 release, but the mobile operating system overall has a ton of upgrades from iOS 7 and tricks under the hood-things the average user may never notice or care about. ![]() Problems like slow Wi-Fi and battery drains cropped up almost immediately after launch, and the first update borked cellular connections and Touch ID on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
