  1. I have a 5s, I installed 8.0.1 and it reset the Health app step count. On my iPad 3rd gen, multitasking gestures stopped working until I switched it off and switch it back on. When I installed 8.0.2 it reset the Health app step count again and multitasking again stopped working with the iPad.

    The multitasking thing is not a big deal. But if each update erases my step counts I’ll be put out. So will apps that use that data.
