    Apparently Apple has been copying a lot of features from Android to iOS9 (lowercase keyboard, split screen, Google Now functionality, ...), but there is absolutely no reason to copy the bloatware as well.

    Among my 20 closest friends only 1 has an iPhone, so Find my Friend is absolutely useless




    you need to talk to your closest friends, and do the right thing by them. Friends don't let friends suffer Android.

    and now - not even off topic, but recently (for a festival) and then because my wife has been buying some stuff from craigslist, we have used find my friends. It always works for location, and despite uninstalling, rebooting re-installing etc, not ONCE have I ever got the notification feature to work. I have disable, re-enabled all relevant notifications, I set a geofence, she leaves it, no notification. Has anyone got this feature to work under 8.3?

    Are you kidding? I believe the headline was written to encourage exactly this response.

    Great another app to place in my "Apple Junk" folder on the last page of apps. Find my friends: because you're too stupid to live on your own...

    Hey guys, I want to try out the new iOS 9 Beta, do I need to register my udid into a developer account? I found https://activatemybeta.com/udid-registration.html which says they offer udid registration, is it safe to try out?

    They are useful Apps to almost everyone. They should be there. Even mentioning Bloatware and Apple designed Apps in the same sentence is a joke. It is not the same thing, for the very simple reason that Apple designed Apps are in a class unto themselves.
