You can revert back. I did it on all my devices.

Here you go. I rolled my Air, Mini and iPhone 5 back to 7.1.2 and all are back normal.

Follow directions carefully and note that this is only available for a while. Apple will stop signing the file eventually. Hopefully this will get you back to work until ios 8 is fixed.

Helpful guide 🙂

I am pretty sure that most of us are waiting for a stable update for iOS8.

You do realize, don't you, that Ant-Trust laws have nothing to do with consumer privacy, right?

I have a 6s. When I review my banner notifications by swiping down the top of my screen, I am unable to delete. I have turned off the notification and rebooted my iPhone but still will not delete.
