You are not alone. Like most of Apple\u2019s previous updates on its operating systems, whether it\u2019s for the desktop or mobile OS, the latest iOS 8 hasn\u2019t really had a major overhaul in terms of its user interface.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are <strong>still plenty of new features and functions<\/strong> that come in quite handy. We\u2019ve had a go for ourselves and have been playing with this new iOS upgrade for awhile now. The result? We\u2019ve handpicked <strong>20 new features and tip<\/strong>s that we think you should know about the new iOS 8.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/iphone-tips\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 38 iPhone Tips & Tricks You Should Know\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">38 iPhone Tips & Tricks You Should Know<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/iphone-tips.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-50253 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/iphone-tips.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">38 iPhone Tips & Tricks You Should Know<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tYour iPhone is nothing less than a magical device that can do hundreds of functions and substitute many...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>1. Sharing Photos And Videos Is Easier<\/h2>\n<p>The new OS makes sending photos and videos via the Messages app a lot more convenient. Just click once on the camera icon (located at the bottom left) and you are able to <strong>share multiple recent photos<\/strong>. You can even add a comment to the photos you send. Alternatively, if you click and hold the same camera icon, you can <strong>immediately take a photo or video and share it<\/strong> with your friend right away.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/send-photo-video-instantly.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"282\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>2. Send Audio Through Messages<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re a regular user of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/whatsapp-tips-tricks\/\" rel=\"noopener\">WhatsApp<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/line-tips-tricks\/\" rel=\"noopener\">LINE<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/more-wechat-tips-and-trick\/\" rel=\"noopener\">WeChat<\/a> or other messaging services, <strong>sending audio messages<\/strong> is nothing new. However, it\u2019s good to know that <strong>Messages now has this function<\/strong> as well. Just tap and hold to record your audio message. Tap again to replay the audio message, or click the cross icon to cancel, or the Arrow Up icon to send.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/sending-audio-messages.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"137\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>3. Listen To Your Audio Messages Discreetly<\/h2>\n<p>Listening to your incoming audio messages and replying to them <strong>can be done in a private and discreet manner<\/strong> too. All you have to do is raise your phone as if you were answering a normal phone call. This feature can be turned off and on under Settings &gt; Messages &gt; Raise to Listen.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/raise-to-listen-audio-messages.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"181\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>4. Changes To My Photo Stream<\/h2>\n<p>In the latest iOS8, Apple has made some changes to My Photo Stream. The <strong>My Photo Stream folder has been removed<\/strong> from your Photos app. From now on, <strong>all your new photos will be automatically synced across all your iCloud devices<\/strong> when connected to Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n<p>In short, this means the next photo snapped on your iPhone will be available on your iPad as well as any other connected devices. The best part is there\u2019s <strong>no longer a limit of 1000 photos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/my-photo-stream.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"129\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>5. Mark Your Emails By Swiping<\/h2>\n<p>When going through emails in your inbox, you can <strong>quickly mark an email<\/strong> as \u2018Unread\u2019 by swiping to the left. You can also flag it, or access more options by swipping to the right.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to <strong>customize the swiping options further<\/strong>, go to Settings &gt; Mail, Contacts, Calendars &gt; Swipe Options.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/mail-swipping-options.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"496\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>6. Instantly Reply To an IMessage<\/h2>\n<p>You no longer have to leave your home screen or a current running application. <strong>Reply instantly to an incoming message<\/strong> by pulling down on the iMessage notification and replying as you normally would.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/quickly-reply-a-message.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"126\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>7. Access Recent Contacts With The Home Button<\/h2>\n<p>Now when you double click your home button, you aren\u2019t just able to access the latest opened applications, you can also <strong>see a list of all the people that you recently contacted<\/strong>. Click on their profile picture to call, message or Facetime them.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/recent-contacts.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"169\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>8. Capture Time-Lapse Videos<\/h2>\n<p>Besides capturing square, slo-mo, panoramic photos and videos, the latest iOS 8 allows you to <strong>take time-lapse video<\/strong>, a feature very similar to Instagram\u2019s latest application \u2013 Hyperlapse. At the moment though, the time lapse feature is a little basic, as there\u2019s no control over the frame rate.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/ios-8-time-lapse-video.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"139\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>9. Set A Timer For Your Photos<\/h2>\n<p>Another small feature that\u2019s been added is one for photo taking. <strong>You can now set a timer of 3 or 10 seconds<\/strong> for your snapshots. This would probably be something ideal for those who love to take <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/selfies-and-stories-behind\/\" rel=\"noopener\">selfies<\/a> and for group photos.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/photo-with-timer.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"86\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>10. More Photo Editing Options<\/h2>\n<p>There are also <strong>more options when it comes to editing photos<\/strong> shot with your iPhone or iPad. On any photo you want to edit, click Edit to crop, add filters or edit the colors.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/more-photo-editing-options.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"475\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>11. Easily Find Out The Name Of A Song That\u2019s Playing<\/h2>\n<p>Hear a song that you like and am <strong>itching to find out the song title<\/strong>? All you have to do is just click and hold the home button. Then ask Siri, \u201cWhat song is this?\u201d, she\u2019ll give you the answer right away.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/ask-siri-what-song-is-this.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"215\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>12. Battery Usage Data<\/h2>\n<p>For Android users, this is probably nothing impressive. For the iOS users, rejoice as Apple has added in <strong>Battery Usage data<\/strong>. This will be able to give you an idea of the applications that are utilizing battery power the most. This information can be pretty useful <strong>for battery life optimization<\/strong>. Find out your battery usage at Settings &gt; General &gt; Usage &gt; Battery Usage.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/ios8-battery-usage.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"300\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>13. 3 New Native Apps<\/h2>\n<p>There are now <strong>3 new native apps<\/strong> that come installed with the new iOS8. They are the Health app, iBooks and Tips.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/new-apps-added.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"105\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>14. Organize Your Messages<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re someone who likes to keep their Messages app clean and organized, this may be of interest to you. That\u2019s right, the latest iOS8 allows you to purge your text messages. You <strong>can choose to keep them forever, or delete them after 30 days or after a year<\/strong>. You can access this feature via Settings &gt; Messages &gt; Keep Messages.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/purge-messages.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"221\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>15. Instant Notification For Emails<\/h2>\n<p>Have an important email thread that you need to constantly get updates on? Now you can <strong>get instant notifications<\/strong> instead of waiting for that push notification. Just go to the specific email that you want to be up-to-date with, click on the flag icon (on the left), and select \u2018Notify Me\u2019.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/email-notify-me.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"202\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>16. Locate Your Phone As Your Battery Is Dying<\/h2>\n<p>A dying battery is not something you want when your iPhone gets lost, or worst, stolen. By <strong>turning on both the \u2018Find My iPhone\u2019 and \u2018Send Last Location\u2019 feature<\/strong>, your last known location will be sent via icloud.com. Handy right? To turn it on or off, access it at Setings &gt; iCloud &gt; Find My iPhone &gt; Send last Location.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/send-last-know-location.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"330\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>17. Share More Things With Your Family<\/h2>\n<p>With the new update, you <strong>can invite up to 6 family members to share all songs, movies, books and apps<\/strong> purchased within the iTunes store. Once an item is purchased, downloaded and shared, all family members will be able to access them for free. If you rather not, you can also <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT201322\">keep specific items private<\/a>. Click <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/icloud\/family-sharing\/\">here<\/a> to learn more about family sharing.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/family-sharing.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"369\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>18. More Functions With Notes<\/h2>\n<p>Taking down notes in iOS gets better. You can now <strong>add images<\/strong> to your notes. What\u2019s great is that you can even resume editing your notes on your Mac and the <strong>changes will reflect instantly<\/strong> on your iOS\u2019s notes.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/taking-notes-with-images.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"333\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>19. Switch Between Emails With Ease<\/h2>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it annoying when you\u2019re trying to compose an email in the Mail app and can\u2019t refer back to the previous email? Apple has resolved that issue. In the new Mail app, if you are composing a new email, you can easily <strong>switch between your draft and your Inbox<\/strong>. If you are replying an email, you can <strong>switch between your reply and the previous email<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ios8-new-features-tips\/toggle-between-new-mail-and-inbox.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"272\" alt=\"ios8 tips\"><\/figure>\n<h2>20. The Compatibility Check<\/h2>\n<p>Last but not least, you <strong>want to make sure that your device is compatible<\/strong> with this new software update. Here is a list of all the devices that iOS 8 is compatible with:<\/p>\n<p><strong>iPhone<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>iPhone 4S<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 5<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 5C<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 5S<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 6<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 6 Plus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>iPad<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>iPad 2<\/li>\n<li>iPad 3rd Gen<\/li>\n<li>iPad 4th Gen<\/li>\n<li>iPad Air<\/li>\n<li>iPad Mini<\/li>\n<li>iPad Mini with Retina Display<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>iPod<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>iPod Touch 5th Gen<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re an iOS user and have recently upgraded to the latest iOS 8, you may be confused as to what is actually new.
