We can all agree that we are not feeling the “Favorites” Feature in The IOS8 Update Right??? Well here is how you get rid of it .
Go in your settings, hit the ‘Mail, Contacts, Calendars’, scroll down to ‘Show In App Swticher’, then click off for ‘Phone Favorites’, and ‘Recent’s’ (I think Recents is really the target). Ok Boom that’s it.
