iOS 9, like all other major iOS updates has been highly anticipated for months. Now, the time is finally here and users are looking to dig into all the new features iOS 9 provides. From split-screen on iPads to embedded email annotations, iOS 9 brings a lot to the table. This is your ultimate guide on everything you need to know to become an iOS 9 expert.
‘Hey Siri’
‘Hey Siri’ on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus can be activated without the phone needing to be plugged in. This is a feature that many Siri users were hoping for. Apple ensured us that this new feature would have minimal effect on battery life when it debuted at the September Apple Event. Since Siri must be able to pick up the phrase, “Hey Siri” at anytime, iOS 9 brings an all-new ‘Hey Siri’ setup process. The process is designed to give Siri a better understanding of your voice and speech patterns, in an effort to improve her overall listening.

Lower Case Keys
If you are a fan of your keyboard actually showing which case you’re using, then you will appreciate iOS 9’s addition of showing lower case.

There are a boatload of small tweaks and additions to the standard system settings for iOS 9. Options like Low Power Mode, Grouping Notifications, and a 6-digit passcode option are only some of the newcomers.
Group Notifications by App
With no way to select how notifications appear, the Notification Center can become an unruly mess in iOS 8. iOS 9 provides a new Notifications menu in Settings with the option to Group notifications by app or by manually creating an order yourself.

The addition of those two digits brings the possible passcode combinations to 1 million, up from 10,000 with only four digits. Yay math… and security! You can also enter in an alphanumeric passcode by tapping on Passcode Options.

Easier App Navigation
iOS always seems to be a few steps behind when it comes to multitasking, only recently embracing split screen for iPads. But there is now an easier way to go between apps. Instead of double-tapping the home button to bring up the app switcher, you can now tap to go back to previously opened apps in the top-left corner of your screen. A small addition, but one that is proving to be extremely useful.
