The Tech Press

They were from the theme I was using but the app to completely customize the messages app is called messages customiser

I'm a bit upset that I just came across this tweak called Grid Messages in Cydia with only a few days till iOS 9 is released to the public. But I'm definitely going to enjoy using this in the meantime! By the way, this is the edit mode to check off which conversations to delete, hence the little checkboxes in the upper right hand corners.

So with the release of iOS 9 beta 5, one of the top new features for AT&T customers is the Wi-Fi Calling capability. But… As always there’s a but, not all areas support the feature just yet. So hopefully by the time Apple releases the GM version of iOS 9, this along with lots of other features will be more usable without the hassle of experiencing bugs. Another thing I noticed with this new beta is the dedicated shuffle button placed in the main screen in the music app. Not only myself but lots of people I know were complaining about having to click more than one button just to shuffle their music. Now with this, that should fix that annoyance many people were bringing up.

Today Sprint launched Wi-Fi calling for their customers. To activate it simply go to Settings - Phone and Wi-Fi Calling. Just switch the toggle on and it'll prompt you for a couple things that will take less than 5 minutes. I haven't tried it yet to see how clear it sounds but if it's anything like when I'm talking to another iPhone user, then I'm all for it! People tend to sound so clear as if they're in your ear speaking to you rather than through a phone. But let me know what you guys think!

If you're interested here are some of the tweaks installed on my device!

So yesterday I got so bored at work and got some inner inspiration to do some stuff to my iPhone 6 Plus and this is creation I came up with. If you guys have any questions please feel free to ask!

Honestly, I don’t really see much of a huge upgrade in this upcoming update hitting our iDevices this fall. Personally, coming from someone who occasionally visits the city every once in a while, one of the very few new features that caught my attention was the mass transit addition to Maps. Being able to see what MTA lines are where & what time they will be arriving is definitely something that will be useful in my case since I don’t take the subways all that often & even for everyday subway users, I'm sure they're going to love this. Another thing I found a bit eye catching was their update to Notes. I like that soon we’ll be able to add links from Safari & photos. Kind of reminds me of my journaling app I use.. Except I’ll still continue to use my journaling app (Day One) simply because I absolutely love it. What I also liked that they added to the Notes app was the fact that you can make checklists now. I’m always using that to make checklists when I’m going away & need to make sure I have everything I need packed. Now of course typical Apple making new apps that usual become useless & end up in that one folder we try to keep hidden called “Crap Apps”, they figured it would be helpful & useful to make what’s going to be called News. I’ll give it a try just not to knock it right away & because I like that we’ll be able to customize the kind of news we want to read about. But I doubt the fancy animations they praised about during the conference will be enough to hold my interest. The one thing that I was so excited about was the SplitView feature they introduced with being able to now multitask between apps & even have picture in picture while watching videos. Unfortunately, Apple had to destroy my excitement making it only available on the iPad Air 2. To say the least, today’s KeyNote was a bit of a disappointment. All three updates, iOS 9, OS X El Capitan, & watchOS will be released to the public this fall.
