Three ideas to implement the new notifications in IOS

Now that Apple has implemented all the features that supposedly needed IOS, copy and paste information, multitasking ... it seems that it is time to give a facelift to all the functions of IOS.



And if you think quickly, what is the worst feature of all iOS implemented? Well no need think so much, in five seconds should get your mind around five different reports and see how all of them are grouped inconsistently.

That is, notifications are just one of the details now more headaches than you can give a computer to use as the iPhone 4 if you have push mail, many messages a day and a few applications which receive messages steadily.

Notifications, it all started on the right foot four years ago

The idea was good, I do not say no. When the iPhone was limited to receiving SMS, receive a beautiful "balloon" blue made to Grace while browsing the Internet, she hardly the future that receive background notifications.

But when you get these messages every 3 seconds but with several sources: SMS, email, Twitter, Facebook ... and the only way to remember or show them later in a simple red icon with a number, it stops looking so nice.

And the idea is that, again, is good and conceptually simple, very simple. But other systems have shown that having a section where you gather all these reports is a real delight for personal organization.

A screen where you group all the emails received, alarms and important calendar day, all the notifications generated by the applications and all text messages. In short, you only need to see any Android team to check enviable unique feature of this system, a notification center really useful and accessible at any time.

Three ways to implement the new notifications

How Apple could implement this new system, or those applications?

Apple does not really ask a complete redesign of what is available now, ie not removed from the current system but which is supplemented by a new display for them.

* Home screen. Fundamentally, even Windows7 phone with a simplistic startup screen gives more information and more detailed than Apple in IOS. It is the first point that should improve. Although the current system is deficient, the section of the home screen does not really bring anything, not radical change is needed just a little more information.

* A pool screen within the system. Now that seems to have acquired a taste for all that excess introduce the system on the display of multitasking, it might be a good option to enter there, as if the search page it were, a new screen where you bring all notifications. The problem with this section would be accessibility: some complex and slow.

* A redesigned. Come on, we concentrate on the most unlikely, Apple is one of those companies that never changes over its software design, development but not revolution. But maybe this time surprises us with something different, something new that brings a slight redesign the system and let pass the arrival of new options. Any bets interesting in this regard?
