How many other users found WhatsApp stopped working after installing the iOS8 update?
Why do these Giant Corporations force new features on us when we don’t want them?
It would be more polite to offer us the option of excluding them from the data-bundle consuming multi-megabyte, hours long download! Or even just warning us to make a back-up of say iOS7, before the “update” giant download starts?

In reply to Joe Siegler. I just asked Siri to turn on my flashlight and she did. Btw- I also have an app called "Flashlight" and it opened up. Maybe that's what you need. I never even thought to ask Siri to open the flashlight. It's so much better than fumbling around and trying to swipe up and find it on the screen. Thanks for the idea.

In reply to Joe Siegler. This seems like an odd feature to want. Can you describe the situation where you'd want it?

I disagree. I hated the separate page for Spotlight. I find it MUCH easier to just grab the page and pulldown to get spotlight. No slow animation bringing you all the way back to the start of your home screen. Plus it always mis-triggered in the old format.

In reply to BusterH. She always plays coy, like she doesn't know exactly what I'm talking about...such a classy lady.

I still wish Siri could the flashlight on and off. Can do Wifi and Bluetooth, but not the flashlight?
