Will people know that you are leaving a group text? For instance, my friends send out big group texts a lot, and, then you get a couple people that talk between themselves. I don't really care for it, so I'd like to leave, but I don't want a message to say "Tyler has left the conversation" cause I think it's kind of rude and passive aggressive.
It is passive aggressive- there is a DND feature that just ignores you where it doesnt notify you- so that's one way.
Me? Id like them to know... eventually I wont be included in as many because "hes a grouch". Oh well. haha
That's fair (it wasn't apparent to me when I read your comment). I don't live in NYC, I live In Winnipeg, Manitoba and I have to admit, it's been great when (being a smaller city) you would expect it not to be. I use the transit system here for commuting to work and I have found the Transit App (which uses Apple's maps) to be extremely reliable (and it's free). Have you given that a shot? it has features (like routes near me & "starring" favourite routes) that Apple maps would likely not add.
Thanks for reminding me about Transit App – they've updated it to be even better. Unfortunately, Transit App is one of those apps I absolutely love, but always end up removing when I realize it's still missing a map overlay of the all the lines. In a city like NYC that has a high density of transit lines in a small area with a complex array of options, intersections, decision points, and disruptions/detours every hour of every day, I think it's critical to see a birds-eye of the entire "spaghetti" system (as Massimo Vignelli called it).
Many apps out there offer a map of a system, or offer great directions and route details (like Transit App), but no app I've found does both well. It makes me wonder if there's a conflict of those two features on a data level? Exit Strategy is the transit app I keep. It shows a map of all NYC's lines in a familiar format, with an extra bonus of showing how the train doors match with the station exits. NYC trains and stations are very long, spanning many city blocks with multiple exits. So it's a huge bonus. But it has no directions feature, or integration with Apple maps, or time scheduling (which is not a huge loss since NYC transit is rarely on-time).
Like you said before, perfection is not the name of the game, but as soon as Apple includes transit lines in Maps I'll finally be able to consolidate my daily navigation into one app.

I'd guess if a person left a group text, their name would have to disappear from the main label for that thread? So people would know you left if they cared to pay attention to the main label.
I'm really surprised they didn't announce transit directions in maps. I wonder if they're saving that for the iPhone 6 announcement... or if it's not going to be in ios8 at all
I like your Mona Lisa emojum. Neither a smile nor a frown.
Question: When someone shares their location with the members of a group conversation, are those permissions replicated to the Find My Friends app? In other words, are the location sharing permissions between Apple IDs and independent of whether their viewed in Messages app Group Conversation A, Messages app Group Conversation B, Find My Friends app, etc?
Answer: you only need to put a question mark at the end of the sentence to denote that it's a question; no need to put 'Question:' at the beginning.
I don't know the answers to your questions, otherwise.

Maybe to avoid the passive aggressiveness, the message will say, "Tyler would dearly love to carry on the conversation, but has decided to gracefully bow out, in order not to dominate the conversation and to let others have a say. He hopes you have a great group text and looks forward to conversing with you again in the not-too-distant future."
It's misleading to precede your post with "Answer:" then not actually follow up with any constructive answers whatsoever. If you're merely posting useless arrogant commentary, you might as well warn us accordingly.

Whatsapp & Wechat have had most of the functionality that iMessage has gained in iOS8 a long time ago.
I don't think it is a fair comparison.
The raison d'etre for Whatsapp and Wechat is messaging. For iOS, Messaging is just one part of a huge system.
As iOS evolves, some parts of the system are updated with more things than others. For iOS 8, Messaging was one that got some neat updates.
Aren't there numerous third-party solutions?
Like even... Google Maps?
Third party directions UX leaves a lot to be desired, especially Google Maps. As with most things Google, the data is good but the interface sucks.

Apple might consider it a bit long, though.
