It’s very much like other cloud computing services such as Dropbox and Google Drive, but it is built into the very fabric of your device's operating system, which means it is incredibly easy to use. To get started using the service, open the Settings app, select the iCloud section and scroll down the list of enabled services. Tap on iCloud Drive and then choose the option to ‘Upgrade to iCloud Drive’ (Fig 1). Transferring files To upload files to iCloud, simply drag them into the Look Me Up By Email & GarageBand iCloud Drive on your Mac ut (running OS X Yosernite) or PC (running Windows 7 or later) or create a new document using an iCloud-enabled app on your iOS 8 device (such as the Pages, Numbers or Keynote apps) which will be auto-uploaded to your Keynote Numbers Pages iCloud Drive iCloud account and retrievable on the other systems mentioned above. Using iCloud means that you'll always have access to the latest version of all your documents from any device. So if you start creating a document on your Mac at work, you can make the final edits at home later on your iPhone — and all of the changes you make will be automatically saved and reflected on all of your devices. To enable apps, launch your Settings app, tap on iCloud, then iCloud Drive and move the app sliders to on (Fig 2). en bone| Transferring files With iCloud Drive, all of your Le files are made accessible outside the confines of the D 17} app that created them. So when you tap to opena file es i om and choose your iCloud Drive as your source, instead of just seeing the files associated with the app in question, you will see a document picker with folders representing all of the apps on your device (in theory anyway, the provision is that the developers of the respective apps must make these folders public, which should be done via updates - so check the App Store to see if the app whose files you wish to access has an update pending). Tap on one of the folders and you see the files contained in that app. Tap on one of those files and you will be able to import the file into the app, within reason. Once you have access to an external file, that file will remain accessible to the current app and to you. As well as opening files, iCloud Drive can also be used to import them instead.

It allows you to view your calendar events for the day and a brief snapshot of any scheduled events tomorrow. ‘Additionally you can view any third-party app alerts such as a connect message in Twitter, or you can view any missed calls or text messages. By default you have several visual clues when. notifications come in to your device. Usually you will get an audible ping followed by a snapshot of the alert at the top of your screen. Alternatively a further reminder will take the shape of a red circle in the upper corner of your app icon. This will usually indicate a new notification. You can then view a larger overview of the notifications by swiping down from the top of the screen (this can be initiated from any app and the Lock Notification Centre screen). The Notification Centre has been streamlined slightly since the release of iOS 8 and now the notifications are split into two tabs instead of three. The first is Today, which showcases current calendar events, while the Notifications tab lists any third-party app notifications, alongside a brief description of the notification (you can tap the notification to launch the respective app). Remove notifications When dealing with newly installed third- party apps the app will always ask you if it can send push notifications to your device before you head fully into the app’s interface. If you decline, this will of course stop you from getting any more alerts, but for the notifications that are still present, the Notification Centre makes life even easier to remove them. On your iPhone simply swipe down the Notification Centre and tap on the 'X’ in the right-hand comer of each notification. A cool new feature of (OS 8 also lets you respond to notifications imediately. When a notification from Mail or Messages takes the form of a banner at the top of the screen, pull down on the handle and you will be able to respond without leaving the app you are in. Change Notification Centre settings To adjust how notifications are handled, head to Home>Settings> Notification Centre. From here you can control the Lock screen settings, how calendar events will be displayed and how notifications will be sorted.

Using Do Not Disturb Ever forgotten to put your mobile on silent during the night, or forgotten to turn the sound back on in the morning and missed an important call? That's why Apple introduced a feature called Do Not Disturb into iOS 6 that has been honed to perfection in iOS 8. Almost buried in Settings>Notifications, Do Not Disturb lets you silence calls, alerts and notifications (though not any alarms you've set in the Clock app) while your iPhone is locked. Better than that, you can schedule Do Not Disturb to operate only between certain times — during the night, for instance. That's all very well, but what if there are some people whose calls you always want to take?
