Assistance—when and where you need it
A more understanding Siri.
While looking at a webpage, tell Siri, “Remind me about this when I get home.”
Or “play more songs like this” when you listen to music. See Use Siri.
Smarter search.
Type “weather” and get up-to-date forecasts. Enter your favorite team to see
sports scores and schedules. Search can even suggest contacts, apps, nearby
places, and more that you might find useful, with no typing required. See
Search.
Answers before you ask for them.
Based on the apps you commonly use and the time of day you use them,
proactive assistant suggests things you might want to do next, before you ask.
For example, opening the News app first thing in the morning or playing your
“Chill Out” playlist before you go to bed. See Proactive assistant.
Under-the-hood improvements
Get your home under control.
iPad communicates with your home’s smart technology. Use iPad to set up your
HomeKit accessories, and control them even when you’re away from home. See
HomeKit basics.
Greater security.
The default passcode on iPad models with Touch ID is now six digits instead of
four, and encrypts the data on iPad automatically. In addition, two-factor
authentication is an extra layer of security for your Apple ID designed to ensure
all the photos, documents, and other important data you store with Apple can
be accessed only by you, and only with your devices. It’s built in to iOS 9 and
OS X El Capitan. See Use two-factor authentication for security.
