5 tricks of iOS 9 completely unreleased on Apple

In the weeks before the official presentation of iOS 9, all the rumors made us think that Apple's next mobile operating system would not have any outstanding news, but we were wrong. As I have said countless times, iOS 9 has a lot of small details that will improve the experience of using our iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. As an example, and although it may seem silly, the "go back to ..." button, something that once you try you will no longer be able to stop using.

There are also many other new features that are not as visible as the "back to ..." button and can go unnoticed causing us to miss great functions such as being able to edit photos in Mail or the Virtual Trackpad, a function that has disappeared in the third iOS 9 beta (first public) but will return in future versions. Here we detail 5 tips available in iOS 9 that you cannot miss.

Save websites to PDF

It is something that has been available in OS X for a long time and that we can use in iOS 9. It is very easy to use. For this we will only have to tap on the share button (

) and select "Save PDF to iBooks". As the name suggests, it will transfer the PDF to iBooks. I recommend that, if possible, you put the page in mode Reader so that you delete all the images and unwanted text.

Edit photos from iOS Mail

Markup is one of the new features that I like the most in iOS 9 although, to be honest, I would like it to be available for the native photo editor as well. With Markup we can edit the photos that are sent to us by mail, which can be used to indicate something on the ground to whoever sent them (of course by returning the mail) or edit the photos that we are going to send.

To use it we just have to press for a second the photo that we want to edit and choose «Markup». We can add a signature, draw shapes, magnifying glass effect or add text. It is not Photoshop, but it is very good.

Select multiple photos without lifting your finger

A novelty of those that if we do not mess around much or they tell us, we will never be able to know. From iOS 9, we will be able to select several photos from the reel without having to lift the finger. It is not something that will save our lives, but it is more comfortable. For this we have to first touch on «Select» (top right), then hold for a second on a photo and slide your finger. Please note that photos cannot be selected in either direction. If we slide vertically, it will select all the photos between the two points.

Select text with the virtual Trackpad

Although it has been deactivated in the last beta, it will return in the future. By pressing with two fingers on the iOS 9 keyboard, as you can see in the GIF, we can select text with a virtual Trackpad. Although at first we thought that we had to have both fingers supported, the two fingers only have to be supported until the keys disappear. Once the letters are blank, we can lift one finger and control the cursor with the other. I hope that Apple decides to give more prominence to this Trackpad.

Use a 6-digit security code

In case 4 numbers seem unsafe to you, Apple now allows us to use a 6-digit code, something that is halfway between the PIN and the alphanumeric code. To activate it we just have to go to Settings / Touch ID and code / Change code. When we enter the code for the first time, at the bottom we can see the text "Code options", which is where we have to touch so that all the options appear, the 6 digits included.
