iOS 5 has been said to have over 200 new features, each one is an upgrade from iOS 4, together they make a fantastic operating system that just works. I personally went through and found some that stand out to me and think they are quite different and interesting.
1) Custom Vibrations, you can now setup custom vibrations that you can use for calls and text messages. Simply go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Toggle “custom vibrations” on, next go to Sounds>Vibration>Create new vibration now just tap away to create a new vibration pattern, simply save it and voila!
2) App Badge Icon Toggle, ever wanted to get rid of those annoying app badges that just don’t go away? Simply Settings>Notifications and search for your app in mind, select it and toggle the “Badge Icon” in the settings.
3) Easy Camera Roll access, first go to your camera app and after you’ve taken some pictures just swipe left and you will see that your recent pictures in your camera roll show up, perfect for easy access and showing off your pictures.
4) Assistive Touch, ever wanted help when pressing on the iPhone screen, just want to get rid of the features of the button and have everything be accessible by touch? go to Settings>Genereal>Accessibility>Assistive Touch and toggle it on, now you can lock your phone, volume controls, rotation controls, and even custom patterns.
5) Keyboard Shortcuts, do you have a long sentence or greeting you always use in text’s or messages? Tired of typing them out each time? Go to Settings>Keyboard>Shortcuts and create a new one, enter your sentence or “Phrase” and then your shortcut ex. sig or signature. Now when you it will give you the option to enter the whole phrase and replace the shortcut.
Tell us what your favorite iOS 5 feature is!
