On the 16th IOS 9 was released, and with it came some great new features. Here are some of the new features that make IOS 9 a substantial update.
- Always On Hey SIRI
If you tend to use SIRI as means of finding information, play specific songs, or sending replies to texts, you will be happy to know that you can now just say “Hey SIRI” without being plugged in to access the AI assistant. I see this being useful to people that travel a lot, because they can use their phone without having to touch it, which might stop distracted driving.
- Multi-Tasking for IPads
I like to do multiple things at a time, I type up papers while watching YouTube, and now on my IPad I can look at posts on Instagram and watch YouTube. If you’re like me then multitasking is now made easy on the IPad with IOS 9.
- Better Notes
This is my favorite thing included with IOS 9, now I can draw stick people on my notes just to do it. Along with the inclusion of drawing on notes you can add photos, links, and have checklists. With this I’m going to be using notes a lot more just to draw what I think.
- AD Block
In Safari, you can now have all advertisements disabled. Being a Chrome user I think most people will consider switching to Safari to not be interrupted by advertisements. This is by far the best thing in the IOS 9 update and I encourage the use of Safari for AD Block
- Hide Photos
Now I know mentioning this makes it seems like it’s helping some people hide inappropriate or unsavory photos, but there are actually many helpful things this function can do. From hiding surprises from your friends to photos of sensitive information, the hide photo option gives users a useful and easy way to keep things secure.
There is a lot more included in the update, but those I mentioned were my top 5 favorite things.What was your favorite feature? What was the worst? Comment your thoughts below!!- Dustin Jones
