Apple announced its iOS 8 update, which has some exciting new features for Apple users. In case you missed it, here are a few highlights from the conference:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Re-vamped keyboard.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After years of complaints from consumers, Apple has finally upgraded its keyboard. The keyboard will include a new word prediction feature called QuickType, which will customize the iOS users&#8217; word suggestions based on their use of language. It will also be able to suggest words based on who the user is messaging and what app they\u2019re using. In addition to QuickType, iOS 8 will support third-party keyboards, similar to what Android offers to its users.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Family Sharing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apple introduced Family Sharing, a feature which allows up to six members of the same family to access content purchased from a single credit card. Additionally, this feature allows family members to share contacts, calendars and even locate each other\u2019s devices in case they are lost or stolen. Parents will also be able to set credit card limits on their kids\u2019 iTunes accounts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HealthKit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the most exciting announcements is the introduction of the HealthKit app. This app will allow iOS users to have an electronic copy of their health records; a feature some doctors think can be revolutionary.\u00a0 Jae Won Joh, an Emergency Room doctor in training, <a href=\"http:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/14\/06\/10\/apples-wwdc-unveiling-of-healthkit-in-ios-8-grabs-the-attention-of-doctors-\" class=\"external external_icon\" rel=\"nofollow\">said<\/a> that HealthKit has \u201ctremendous potential\u201d. \u00a0Instead of going through tedious and time consuming processes to obtain patient information, the patient can provide their information to their doctor through HealthKit. Joh expressed that HealthKit will also be a huge help in the case of an emergency where the patient is unconscious and can\u2019t give doctors crucial health information. The app will be TouchID protected, to ensure privacy. Apple is currently working with the FDA to make sure all necessary precautions and regulations are adhered to.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of the new features?<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F794&#038;t=What%20You%20Missed%20at%20Apple%E2%80%99s%202014%20WWDC&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F794&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F09%2Fapple-logo.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=What%20You%20Missed%20at%20Apple%E2%80%99s%202014%20WWDC\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F794&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F794&#038;title=What%20You%20Missed%20at%20Apple%E2%80%99s%202014%20WWDC\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple\u2019s 2014 World Wide Developer\u2019s Conference (WWDC) was held last week in San Francisco.
