No operating
system launch is without a few bugs, but it seems like iOS 7 has had more than
it's fair share of blunders. From iMessages not working to lock screen
exploits, here are some of the biggest bugs, and how you can fix them.
iMessage Doesn't Deliver
Messages
If there's one
thing you want from your phone it's the ability to send and receive messages.
Unfortunately, for a number of users, iMessages isn't delivering messages in iOS 7. That means texts are essentially going nowhere. That's a
pretty big bug, and while Apple says it's working on a fix in the next software
update, you can fix the problem now. Head into Settings > General > Reset
> Reset Network Settings. This should get those messages delivered. If it
doesn't work, TUAW recommends a quick reboot.
iOS 7 has had a few lock screen vulnerabilities that
give anyone access to your data even if they don't know your passcode.
Thankfully, all you need to do to fix the original bugs is update to iOS 7.0.2.
However, the most recent bug (in the video above) allows people to access your
phone on the newest firmware. While that's not exactly the worst thing in the
world, you can keep it from happening by disabling Siri on the lock screen.
Head into Settings > General > Passcode Lock. Then under "Allow
access when locked" disable Siri.
