This latest iOS release adds numerous innovations to the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. There are improvements to a wide range of apps, along with great new additions to CarPlay. iOS 9.3 may even help you get a good night’s sleep. And you’ll find a preview of new features that will make using iPad in schools easier and better for students and admins.
Many studies have shown that exposure to bright blue light in the evening can affect your circadian rhythms and make it harder to fall asleep. Night Shift uses your iOS device’s clock and geolocation to determine when it’s sunset in your location, then it automatically shifts the colours in your display to the warmer end of the spectrum.1 In the morning, it returns the display to its regular settings. Pleasant dreams.
Notes is one of those apps you use all the time for all kinds of things. Now you can secure the notes that contain your most personal data — such as financial details, medical info or website logins — with a password or fingerprint. You can also sort notes by date created, date modified or alphabetically.
It’s simpler than ever to find third-party apps to track your health and wellness. Categories such as Weight, Workouts and Sleep have a new slider menu that reveals great apps you can easily add to your Health dashboard.2 The Health app also now displays your move, exercise and stand data, as well as your goals, from Apple Watch. So you can see all your health metrics in one place and easily share your data with third‑party apps.
With iOS 9.3, CarPlay adds even more useful features. New and For You from Apple Music — with songs, artists and albums handpicked by experts, plus selections based on your preferences — are right at hand on your screen. And the Nearby feature in Maps lets you find gas, parking, restaurants, coffee and more with a tap. So you’ll know the best places to stop, whether you’re on your daily commute or an epic road trip.
