FIVE MAJOR iOS 7 Bugs

 
             The Apple's New Mobile Operating System iOS 7 was released on September 18. This was the one of most awaited biggest change to iOS since it was introduced after a period of six years. It adds a Lot more of new features that are streamlined with abstract look.
  The problem is that Nobody can be perfect, Right ?
        After a couple of weeks of its existence, the iOS 7 has gained a handful of complaints and issues from its users. I am hereby bringing to you 5 major bugs that is being repeatedly heard about the iOS 7 and also the ways to fix them or at least a least possible way to bypass them.

1) iMESSAGE FAILING
    
              The Messages Sent in iOS7 initially tends to appear working fine which after a period of time shows a RED Exclamation mark which denotes that the message is not actually sent. 
          After Reporting these Issues Apple says “ We are aware of an issue which is causing texts sent through our iMessage app is not being a go through for some of our users”. It has further advised the customers to contact AppleCare so as to resolve their issues and also has apologized for the inconveniences until the Update is released.

FIX  
  •      Wait for the Update to be released.
  •      Some users say that the issue gets resolved temporarily after Restarting the Device by     turning OFF and ON.

 2) ANIMATION FLAWS & FLU

  
             Many users say that they are already literally sick of the new iOS 7. The iPad and iPhone users, may be a few of them are saying they're getting motion sickness while looking at iOS 7's animations. On the new OS the images zoom in and out whenever users switch between apps.
             TIME Explains about this as,” Human Brain gets unsettled and deviated whenever the eyes are trying to focus images that don't match up evenly. Take the example of reading a book in a Moving car.


FIX 
  • Go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility .
  • Click “Reduce Motion" so as to make the zooming go away.
  

3) BATTERY JUICE DRAIN
 
                  This Issue of higher battery juice drain is being mostly reported by users of older phones like the iPhone 4S,4. They report that iOS 7 drains battery at a very high rate than the iOS 6 did. Looking at the reasons behind these can be the ability of the iOS 7 to run its apps in the background while doing another task.

FIX 
  
  • Go to Settings → General -> Background App Refresh
 After getting into this you can choose the apps that you'll allow to run in the background and those others which you don't.

 Other than these you can 
  • Reduce Screen Brightness
  • Switching OFF the GPS & Bluetooth if they are not being used.

4) APPS LOG YOU OUT
  
          This may not be considered as a Major problem. But for many users this emerges as a problem as the apps timeout at frequent intervals and also logs them out. This makes many users to get frustrated entering the login credits again and again. Few apps that are being mentioned over the time are Snapchat and Mailbox.

FIX 
 The Developers have worked on these issues with the apps and have come up with updates and fixes for their applications. 
  • Go to Settings → General → Background App Refresh → Turn off any Apps that are Causing Problems.
  • The Apps may take care of themselves Over the time.
  • Updates from Apple should be in accordance with the Apps that are associated with these Issues.

5) LOCK SCREEN BYPASS
  
                     This is the first and the Major problem that has been addressed in iOS 7 just in few days after the new operating system has spread out and made its roots in the Market.The One particular instance which the iPhones and iPads faced were running the Camera app and having the Control Center activated on Lock screens. On this state It would only take a few steps for someone to unlock this phone.

FIX 
   
  • The iOS 7.0.2 Update released on September 26, 2013
  • Ensure that the Control Center is not active when the Camera App is functioning.
