Apple\u2019s software has undergone a major revamp guaranteed to make your life easier \u2013 if you know where to look. Here are 9 game-changing tips to get the most\u00a0out of\u00a0iOS 9 features.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Low Power Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Low<\/a><\/p>\n

So you\u2019re stuck on the tarmac with no power outlet in sight, and it\u2019s hour three. Thankfully, the new Low Power Mode will extend your battery life in those desperate hours of boredom. To activate, choose Settings \u2013 Battery \u2013 Low Power mode.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Apple Maps Adds Transit<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"transit_in_maps_ios9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Apple Maps caught a lot of flack in its initial release. But with Siri integration, I\u2019m using it a lot more than its competitor Google Maps. And I\u2019m pleasantly surprised that Apple Maps is giving me easier, faster and more accurate results \u2013 whether I\u2019m driving, walking or taking public transit.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Boarding Passes<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"passes_ios9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While individual airline apps have had mobile boarding passes for a while now, Apple Wallet just recently allowed you to integrate all of your travel documents in one place. There\u2019s nothing worse than fumbling for a paper pass \u2013 or leaving it behind – when you\u2019re sprinting across the airport between tight connections.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Advanced Spotlight<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Advanced<\/a><\/p>\n

Jennifer Hudson famously sang that she didn\u2019t like living in the spotlight, but everyone, Hudson included, will want to beam in Apple\u2019s Spotlight. The new-and-improved search function makes finding everything a whole lot easier. Swipe left on the home screen and the improved Spotlight will populate with your recently used apps. Search for a contact and you\u2019ll have easy access without having to scroll through several menus.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Silent Siri<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"silence_siri_ios9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I never liked that annoying beep right before Siri kicks in. Keep her quiet with a quick side-button press by activating this new feature. First, go to Settings \u2013 General \u2013 Siri \u2013 Voice Feedback. Then, check \u201cControl with Ring Switch\u201d to stop her from interrupting the flow of your Apple Music.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0Back to Previous App<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"back_to_previous_app_ios9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Previously, if an app navigated you to a different app, you needed to double click the home button and swipe right to return to your first app. iOS 9 changed that with a simple link that appears in the upper left hand corner when you navigate away. For example, if you click a link in an email and jump to Safari, you can reach to the top left and tap \u201cBack to Mail\u201d to easily get back to your inbox.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0Music on Demand<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"music<\/a><\/p>\n

As soon as you connect your headphones to a locked iPhone, an icon will appear in the bottom left of the screen that connects directly to the most recently used music app.<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0Grouped Photos<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Photos\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No more tediously clicking on every photo you want to send, delete or upload. Simply tap, hold and swipe to select groups of photos at once instead of one-by-one.<\/p>\n

9. \u00a0Better News<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"news_suggestions_ios9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another great feature of Apple\u2019s improved Spotlight is the collection of news updates. Swipe left on the home screen (just like you would to search for an app or contact) and scroll down to find serious news articles from outlets you frequently visit in a refreshing and clean format. I\u2019ve already started using it every day.<\/p>\n

Though there\u2019s plenty more to see and do in iOS 9, these innovations should get you started strong with Apple\u2019s best operating system yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are more than 9 great things to learn about iOS 9, but here are some of the most important for your everyday life.","protected":false},"author":16781,"featured_media":6294,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11,19,22],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6670","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-apple-news","8":"category-product-reviews","9":"category-applications","10":"cs-entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe 9 Best iOS 9 Features -
