Apple today released iOS 9.
With this update your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch become more intelligent and proactive with powerful search and improved Siri features. New multitasking features for iPad allow you to work with two apps simultaneously, side-by-side or with the new Picture-in-Picture feature.
Built-in apps become more powerful with detailed transit information in Maps, a redesigned Notes app, and an all-new News app. Improvements at the foundation of the operating system enhance performance, improve security and give you up to an hour of extra battery life.
How to update your device wirelessly:
If a message says that an update is available, tap Install Now. You can also follow these steps:
1. Plug your device in to power and connect to the Internet with Wi-Fi.
2. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
3. Tap Download and Install. If a message asks to temporarily remove apps because iOS needs more space for the update, tap Continue or Cancel. Later, iOS will reinstall apps that it removed. If you tap Cancel, learn what to do next.
