1. Clock Icon
Go ahead and look at
your clock app icon. Take a closer look. It's an actual clock with a working
second hand. A nice little touch from Apple.
2. Text Timestamps
If
you slide text messages to the left, you can see the timestamp for all of them
— not just the most recent.
3. The Level
By opening up the
Compass app and swiping your finger across it, a new digital "level"
feature is revealed. You'll never have a crooked painting on the wall again.
4. Night Mode for Maps
If
you're driving late at night, the glow of your iPhone screen can be nearly
blinding as you try to use the Apple Maps app. Now, the platform displays a
darker interface at certain times. This is less distracting and easier on the
eyes when navigating at night.
5.
Closing Multiple Apps
You
can close multiple apps at once! Here's how: double click the home button to
reveal open webpages and platforms. You can then swipe up to three apps at the
same time by using three fingers and dragging them upwards.
6.
Siri Controls Settings
You can use Siri to set
alarms and reminders on previous iOS versions, but now you can lean on her to
navigate settings too. For example, by saying "Open Settings," Siri
will open the Settings folder. By asking Siri to "Turn Off Wi-Fi,"
she'll gladly oblige without you having to lift a finger. You can also tell her
to make calls and play voicemail messages too.
7.
Block Calls
If
you're getting harassing calls, you can now put a stop to it. Visit Settings
> Phone > Blocked to add numbers you want to restrict.
8.
Apps Near Me
The Apple App Store
has a new "Near Me" feature, which shows apps that are popular near
your current location. So if you live in New York City, it will highlight handy
apps such as NYC Subway KICKMap and Way2ride taxi, which lets you pay for cab
rides via the app.
