My iphone 5 has been stuck on update requested since 2am!
Anyone else had this?
No - although mine may have taken several hours as I set it up last night and went to sleep while it was on update request. In the time-honoured "have you turned it orff and on again" I did quit settings fully a couple of times to check it really thought it was waiting or had just hung. Have you tried?Anyone else had this?

The family sharing thing is a bit annoying.
Obviously I and my girlfriend have separate apple ID's which we use to make purchases with apps etc, when setting up family sharing it says all app purchases will now be taken from her account. I'd rather we both were able to buy them separately still but be able to share them

This - my first reaction, too.
Otherwise: I've just discovered that Safari no longer seems to play ball with drop down boxes (signing into bank and investments provider...). Anyone else noticed this?
The thing I was looking forward to most in this release was the 3rd party keyboards.
I hate the Apple one for 2 reasons, 1 it always shows upper case letters even when in lower case, and 2 there is no long press available for punctuation or numbers (yes I know you can hold the shift key and swipe to the punctuation but that's not the same thing).
Having installed both SwiftKey and Swype they show lower case which is great but still no punctuation or numbers showing on the keyboard which you can long press. Is there an ios8 keyboard out there that does this yet?

I installed swiftkey on my iPad 4 and there appears to be no gesture typing? I couldn't see where to switch that on.
Besides, since the update its like everythings running about 10 frames per second. Slow and jittery.
To be honest, I don't see why swiftkey is so popular. Even on my HTC One M8 its dog slow. The google gesture keyboard is much better.

You have to download swiftkey and enable it in settings.Besides, since the update its like everythings running about 10 frames per second. Slow and jittery.
