Please tell me they are fixing bluetooth, LTE and GPS issues in this update as well!
Remove all the crap from Messages…Steve would have a fit.
Amen!
Can we please get a written article? I’m tired of having to watch videos all the time to get the information. Cell data is not cheap.
Plus you can read an article in like :45 seconds.
Where can I find that wallpaper? Love it!
Dear Mr Cook
I am a long time Game Center user, specifically with one game called Air Wings developed by Brian Greenstone of Pangea Software Company. This game is a live online interactive up to four player flying game that has developed a rabid loyal fan base with it’s own player forum. The game allows for two, three or four players to fly against each other and battle until a winner prevails. It has voice chat so you can talk during the game against your competitor.
Over time, probably since IOS 6… Many bugs have developed in successive IOS updates that are reported by the developer of the game and go unaddressed and un repaired on Apples end. Specifically with the IOS 10 update, the voice chat has a bug that when toggled on or off during the game, it causes the game to freeze, crash or slows the data rate to one frame per second. This has been reported by the developer with no response or fix as of today.
Also, with the IOS 10 update, your staff also without notice changed the invite feature of Game center. In the past the invites would be processed through Game center and usually worked quite well. Suddenly you now have to send invites through iMessage, which requires you to have any opponents email address in your devices contacts list. So, on a worldwide interactive game like Air Wings, effectively you have taken away player invites because no one has email addresses in their contacts list on their device of random invited players. Who’s brilliant idea was this Mr Cook?
Game center needs a makeover desperately. Any data sent between a developers game and Game Center is sent in packets. The problem is the data packets are not verified. That’s just old school technology, causing pieces of data to be lost, which in turn causes bugs and glitches in any game, which is why we are where we are presently.
What I am really looking for is this, your company is providing Game center for its customers and it appears that whoever is in charge of this department really has dropped the ball in serving YOUR customers and developers. If your providing a service, I would expect it to be the best it can be, because it’s an APPLE product of which I am a big user and fan of since the beginning. Your one of the most successful companies of our time, and I hope by pointing out some neglected area of YOUR company, you will address these issue’s and correct them.
I hope to hear back from you on these issue’s..
Thank You
BK
Please fix iMessage as a whole BEFORE adding all these new “features” to it. Why is it that most of my iMessages send as text messages, and simple messages sometimes taking 1 minute to send? Your app is broken, I’ve gone to turning off iMessages as a whole so I can get fast texts back. And the “new” emojis are not in any way of convincing me to use iMessage again.
