Here's an overview of what's changed in the latest version
of iOS.
By and large, iOS 9's interface has remained largely the
same from iOS 8's reinvention. You've got a few new blurs and animations, but
that's about it. There are a few UI tweaks here and there:
iOS 9 now uses Apple's new system font, San Francisco
Siri has a new interface and waveform
The multitasking screen has been replaced with a compressed
cards-like interface, removing Favorites from the top bar
The Music app has a new, more compressed More button (looks
like •••) that makes it easier to access albums and specific features.
The keyboard now changes from uppercase to lower-case when
changing shift
There's a redesigned Notes app (more on that later)
Siri and Search
Perhaps the bit I most looked forward to about iOS 9, Siri
has become prettier, smarter, and now runs the underlying search engine in iOS.
Apple's voice-activated assistant has a new, watchOS-inspired look, and can now
search for a variety of new items:
Date- and face-contextual photos: "Show me photos of
Georgia Dow from last Sunday"
Contextual awareness: "Remind me about this when I get home
"
Car-based reminders: "Remind me to buy dog food when I
get in the car"
Apple Music-based commands: "Play the top song from
1990"
More HomeKit phrases: "Leave home"
For even more fun, try asking Siri what you should say to
Tim Cook when preparing to interview him.
Knowing what music you like to listen to when in the car,
connected to Bluetooth running headphones, or on your speakers at home—and
queuing it up for you
Guessing unknown phone numbers based on whether iOS has seen
them in Messages or emails
Providing estimated driving directions to your usual places
at this time of day when you get in a CarPlay- or Bluetooth-equipped vehicle
Providing estimated driving directions and "Leave
Now" warnings for events on your calendar with addresses
Suggesting contacts you normally pair in a group email or
calendar event
Offering app and contact suggestions based on time of day on
the Search screen
All of this "proactive" functionality is done
on-device, so there's no server-side storage of your personal information.
Deep links, universal links, and back links
More magic under-the-hood will now allow your favorite apps
and services to register for deep links and universal links: Universal Links
let iOS 9 turn normal Web URLs into direct links into your app. So if you're
searching Twitter, for example, and click on a link to a tweet, you'll now see
that tweet directly in the Twitter app. (You sadly can't force a deep link to
use a third-party client; primary clients only.) Deep Links work within iOS 9
itself, and let you use the Search screen to actively search within your
favorite apps.
In addition, whenever you tap on a link or button to switch
from one app to the other, you'll get a new bit of text in the upper left
corner of your screen: This allows you to quickly jump back to the app you were
just in, without having to access the multitasking bar. It's called a back
link, and it exists seamlessly all over iOS 9.
The new Search screen
Spotlight is no more: It's been renamed "Search",
and you can now use it with natural language the same way you would Siri. Type in
"who's greg" and get a Contacts listing of your pal from high school.
Ask it basic math problems, or who won the Cubs game last night, or what the
weather is in San Francisco. The Search screen can handle it all.
When you first visit the new Search screen, it's populated
with Siri Suggestions: Contact and app suggestions based on the current time of
day. (This replaces the multitasking screen's Favorite section.) You'll also
see Yelp-sourced "Nearby" suggestions that include time-based food suggestions,
shopping, and gas. And if you're in a country that supports the News app,
you'll see some of the top stories currently circulating. You can dismiss all
this by pulling down on the screen, which will activate the Search bar, or by
simply tapping the search bar itself.
You can get into the Search screen one of two ways: By
swiping down from the middle of any Home screen, or by swiping right from the
foremost Home screen. Swiping down from the middle will only get you app
suggestions and a search bar, saving the rest of iOS 9's proactive information
for a proper right-swipe visit from the Home screen. It's a little
shortcut—ha ha.
