The only iOS 7.1 option that seems to be losing is the call screen. Of course the old one looks better with the full-screen photo, but how many people have good enough photos of their contacts to make that consistently look good in everyday use?
- r00fus 13y agoIt's not just the photo. It's the vastly increased hit area for answering. I have photos for all the people I'm close to.
- CamperBob2 13y agoI can't imagine their motivation for reducing the size of buttons like that. Other than the smaller buttons, 7.1 actually looks pretty good.
- gress 13y agoAccidentally answering a call is embarrassing.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoAndroids 'drag from A to B' is a godsend in this regard.
- gress 13y agoHaving to use two hands to answer a call is annoying.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoWhere's this two-hands requirement coming from?
- clauretano 13y agoI know for sure (because I was testing something where a contact had a weird photo) that on 7.0.6 it did the 'small circle contact photo on incoming call' thing. Was full screen photo only activated for high res photos?

- criswell 13y agoI'd much rather my contacts be able to set their own photos for when they call (with the option to override it). It's just not worth the trouble setting photos for each person.
- takeda64 13y agoThat's exactly how it works on Android. It uses Google+ profile pictures, which you can override, you can also enable option to show details about numbers that are not in your contacts (including the picture).
- criswell 13y agoI would rather avoid a social network getting their hands on my contacts, though. You could sync facebook and twitter with your contacts in iOS, but I just don't feel comfortable doing it.

- AllenKids 13y agoThe thing is I have absolutely no interest in join a bloody social network just to use my phone book, as a matter of fact I block every app on my phone from accessing the contacts info. I suspect that I'm not alone in this regard.
- underyx 13y agoI'm an Android user, so I don't know if this is easily doable on iOS, but I sync the Google+ and Facebook profile pictures of my contacts to their entry in my contact list, which covers around 80-90% of anyone who'd call me.
- Viper007Bond 13y agoIt's easy in iOS as well. My contacts sync with Google. If the contact has a G+ profile associated with it, then their data gets pulled in. I also have a script I wrote that gives all of my contacts in Google their Gravatar, if they have one. Works well.
