Apple is already preparing an iOS 8.0.1 update that brings fixes for Phone, Keyboard, Safari, Sharing and VPN, reports MacRumors.

Back in early September, it was reported that Apple had been preparing to seed testing partners with the firmware update, ahead of the public release of iOS 8. It seems as though the update was seeded and now we have some details on what it fixes.

Reported Fixes:
- Phone: Addresses bugs with call forwarding and freezing when accessing visual voicemail
- Keyboard: Fixes an issue with keypad not appearing to enter iCloud Keychain verification codes
- Safari: Fixes a problem with videos occasionally not playing
- Sharing: Fixes AirDrop support for Passbook passes
- VPN: Addresses an issue with installing VPN profiles

It's likely that the update will also address other problems that users of iOS 8 have faced. A release date is not yet known; however, you can follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

iOS 8 messages search engine doesn't work properly. Rather doesn't work at all. Not for the contact in messages neither for the content of the message

Any Jailbreak news?

I hope they fix the volume issue on the iphone 6 plus, where you can barely hear the person you are talking to without using headphone. Nearly impossible to talk with just the phone to your ear.

Earpods are perfect.

Im having an issue where i miss calls and they show on the notification but then they disappear and nowhere to be found again . Anyone having this issue?

gamerscul9870 - September 23, 2014 at 7:08pm

Not once.

Captain Japan - September 23, 2014 at 5:52pm

Bring back the pre-iOS 8 camera roll!!

Waiting for 3G button aperance next to LTE.

David12 - September 23, 2014 at 4:42pm

The most important issue not fixed? App Store connection failed / download & update apps on iOS 8. It's impossible to update or download any app after the iOS 8 update. Are you hearing me, Apple?

Hey David, is English your first language? Try restoring your phone for something may have bugged out on your latest update. It happens (not often) but it does for its still software.

David12 - September 23, 2014 at 11:51pm

Nope, English is not my native language indeed, I'm Frenchie... lol (nobody is perfect). Well, already restored the network prefs, already restored the complete iPhone with iTunes & USB cable... Applied all tips & tricks I can find on the net... Many users are impacted by this bug. I called Apple Care today, the agent said Apple is aware about it, so maybe the 8.0.1 will fix it or the App Store will be updated. The agent said: wait 3-4 days.

What? - September 23, 2014 at 4:26pm

Just days after release, now with problems already? This is quite disappointing.

Techno - September 23, 2014 at 5:31pm

With millions of users and they find the bugs, they fix it right away. It's called responsible business and customer care. What does Android do? Well you can always erase your phone as usual so that it is not a brick (and lose all your data) or wait a few weeks for a refurbished phone from your carrier. I know this first hand!

StewartG - September 23, 2014 at 4:20pm

Good because as much as I like it, it keeps freezing and I have to press the home button. Also the keyboard sometimes doesn't work properly in landscape mode. It's also a bit slower and I'm on 5S.

Sadra - September 23, 2014 at 4:17pm

My iPhone 4S got slow like a turtle after upgradig to iOS 8. Some silly bugs are still since beta releases! I am far from regretful doing this upgrade... And I am pretty sure that Apple won't fix 4S for motivating the consumers buying the iPhone 6.

Techno - September 23, 2014 at 5:34pm

You are absolutely wrong, restore via iTunes and your phone will work like a charm.

jos1 - September 23, 2014 at 4:16pm

Apple please stop copying android OS to ios8 it has not been smooth for everyone

Ren - September 23, 2014 at 4:16pm

It still not gonna make me upgrade to large plasticky iphone 3gs with large screen. Resurrect Steve Please!!!!

Techno - September 23, 2014 at 5:39pm

With millions of smart Apple consumers, you are the exception. Not trying to insult you but simply telling you the truth..seriously,..Wowww

Gern Blansten - September 23, 2014 at 4:12pm

Not surprising. I am hoping that the dot release will be the catalyst for the Jailbreak community to get moving. No point burning an exploit when they already know the next release is not far behind the first.

Eli Rivers - September 23, 2014 at 4:04pm

cool!

Darryn - September 23, 2014 at 4:03pm

I also hope they fix the bug where you can tell how far a video has buffered in the scrubbing bar. So sick of videos freezing because I can't tell how far they've buffered...

StewartG - September 23, 2014 at 4:22pm

Yes, this too. Videos freezing even when on fast wi Fi.

gamerscul9870 - September 23, 2014 at 4:01pm

Either this will fix iClarified app or it's the app doing it.

matt - September 23, 2014 at 4:04pm

the app is in review currently, according to iclarified.
