Apple has come under fire from critics ever since iOS 8 was released because the new software required a substantial amount of storage to be available on the device before it can be installed. Most users are running on fumes as far as free storage goes these days so one can imagine what a pain it would be to either move or delete data to make space for the update. Apple has finally released an update to fix that. iOS 8.1.3 also brings additional bug fixes and improvements and stability as well as performance.
iOS 8.1.3 also brings a fix for a bug that caused Spotlight to not display app results in search. Another issue that has been fixed with this update prevented users from entering Apple ID password for Messages and FaceTime.
New configuration options for education standardized testing have been added and an issue that prevented multitasking gestures from working on the iPad has been taken care of as well.
Clearly this update is meant to address most customer complaints that surfaced following iOS 8’s release late last year. Even in subsequent updates Apple didn’t tackle all of those pain points, particularly the one that concerns storage, iOS 8.1.3 finally puts it to rest once and for all.
