In depth search - Until now it has been very difficult to find a specific setting you required in order to perform your tasks. With the new iOS 9 you wont be getting lost again. The search feature has been designed to be more intelligent and more receptive. The feature even allows you to find things within apps as well.
For example if you wanted to find your old office address, all you have to do is to type what you are looking for into the search bar and you will be presented with results from the entire phone including notes, reminders, apps etc. On top of that even before you type anything on the search bar, you already get suggestions from your faithful assistant, SIRI.
Low Power Mode
Battery life has always been a great concern when it comes to smartphones, but with the iOS 9 you will be gifted with a cool new feature that will extend the battery life in one single swipe, instead of individually disabling each power-consuming apps. Enabling the Low Power Mode feature is all you have to do. Being featured in the settings options, this battery mode will reduce a whole lot of internal settings as well. Thus extending the battery life of your iOS device up to an extra hour.
Move to iOS - Now switching between an Android to an iOS just got simpler with iOS 9 introducing the Move to iOS, an Android app which helps you to migrate all your contacts, photos, videos, history, bookmarks, music and all the apps to the new iOS device. This app will automatically install any free app that you already have been using on your Android and will even filter any paid apps to your iTunes Wish List. We should be saying that, with this app in fact the convenience level has been redefined.
New Photo App - With the iOS 9 when you tap on a photo in a photo album, a photo roll pops up at the bottom. So that you don't have to go back into the gallery to view the rest of the pictures in the gallery. Earlier if you wanted to look at an image in full screen mode you had to tap the image and then hit Done in order to return to the previous app screen. But with the update you can swipe down the display to return to the previous page.
