You can set an alert to receive a "Thread Notification" when an e-mail you designate, receives a reply. These alerts can be enabled for new e-mails, replies or forwards.
When you upgraded to iOS 8, you may have noticed you receive multiple alerts for text messages. This can be changed in Settings, so that you only receive the alert for a text message once. This process shown on iPhone 6 with iOS 8, but works on iPad with iOS 8 as well.
In iOS 8 access to the “Control Center” from the lock screen, is enabled by default. This would allow anyone to disable features (i.e. Airplane Mode), without entering a passcode to unlock the device.
You can now rearrange or remove “Share Options”. For example, when you want to share a link to a webpage in Safari, you tap the “Share” icon, and tap how you want to share the link. If you use a certain option more often than others, you can rearrange the icons. We are only showing share options for Safari, but they also exist in other apps such as Photos.
If you receive an e-mail from someone not in your Contacts, you can quickly add them with the tap of a button that automatically appears at the top of the message. This information is derived from their e-mail signature. If you already have a Contact, but when a new phone number or e-mail is detected, you can add this new information to an existing contact.
