AT&T Mobile Locate 2.0

2.0 has been officially release for Mobile Locate. Please keep in mind you must have the Enhanced Support/Insurance bundle aka Mobile Protection Pack.

Here are some screenshots:

Mobile Locate now supports backing up, Please keep in mind if it is backed up at another location (ie. google, live.com, or iCloud) it will not back up in the Mobile Locate app:



If you are not on a WiFi Network the only way to turn off the ability to backup over Cellular is in Settings-Cellular scroll down till you see Mobile Locate and turn it off there. The App will also ask you if you want to continue.


The settings section will allow you to edit the backup settings, location settings and personal settings.  You can go into the my account and change your password. To change your email address you have to log into the site and select profile in the top right hand corner. 



The app does notify the phone it is being located:



 There is an option now on the site to Contact the device this will pop up a message on the phone thru the app. Below are screenshots from the Website:

Visual Changes in iOS 7.1

So far the biggest change visually in the update is for those with an iPhone 5S the touch is now in the main settings.


The look in General is brighter on the control center


But for some reason the background is darker at the top and gets brighter as it goes down 

The keyboard appears much crisper and brighter as well






If you decline a call it will create a reminder to call that person.

If anyone sees any other changes comment below! I will add things as I see them.


UPDATE:

Here's a few more changes that I found:

 You can place each line on hold if you would like in a conference call. To do this you will need to tap the i and you will see all the parties.


If you go into Accessibility you can turn buttons on:


If you do not have Reduce Motion on in the Accessibility settings the wallpaper now allows the option to zoom and adjust:
