Two things: a) Live Photos are a great party trick and b) you can set them as your background and show them off to all who dare to touch your phone. It’s easy. When you’re taking a photo, make sure the yellow “Live” icon appears.

Then open Camera Roll, view the Live Photo, and tap the Share icon. On the bottom row, swipe left until you see Use as wallpaper.

2. Quickly switch to another app.

This one’s a little tough to get right — but once you get the hang of it, you’re golden. On the left side of the screen, press down firmly to enter “Multi-tasking Mode.” You’ll see a stack of your most recently used apps. Swipe right to scroll through them.

3. Text a response super quickly.

One of the most delightful additions to the 6S is being able to say “Hey Siri” without having your phone plugged in. If you can’t find your phone, you’ll be able to just say “Hey Siri, where are you!”

It will only recognize your voice. You can set this up by going to Settings > General > Siri > enable “Hey Siri.”

Bonus: In iOS 9, you can now say “Find photos that I took in [location]” or “Find photos that I took on [date].” You can also say “Remind me to [task] when I get to [location].”
