iOS 8 Messages - Changes and New Features

The New Details Screen

Previously, when you were looking at a message thread/conversation for a particular contact, you would have seen a Contact option at the top right, allowing you to call, Facetime, or view more information about that contact.

Well, iOS 8 brings a big improvement to this option - now called Details.

Touch on Details to see the person's name and the other options at the top - the same set of options/symbols that were previously available when you chose the Contact option in iOS 7 (call, Facetime, view more information about contact.).

But now, you also have options to share your location and to stop 'noises' made when there is a message from this contact.


And you can easily view any 'attachments' (ie photos or documents) previously sent or received as part of the 'conversation' with that person.

Swipe upwards to see all of these previous attachments, with the most recent attachments shown first. Touch on any of these attachments to open it in full screen.
