There are tons of things that we can’t wait to try although there isn’t a set date when the operating system will get its update, luckily you can still check out what you have to look forward to with the newest version of iOS 9.

Lock Your Notes

Sometimes what you write down in your notes isn’t something you would want everyone reading. We all know that Apple takes privacy very seriously and they have added a cool new feature to iOS 9.3 that will make sure your privacy is ensured everywhere.

With the newest update, you can now keep important and secret information locked up from everyone if you choose. The newest Note update comes with a password protection option, ensuring complete privacy. Other updates to the Notes App are being able to sort Notes by Date or alphabetically by title.

Get Better Sleep Quality

Most people are aware the blue LED light from your iPhone or iPad makes it harder for you to sleep. Apple is aware of this, and added a new feature that will make it easier to change the color of your screen at night. Normally bright white with blue undertones, you can now change your screen to have warmer undertones like red, orange, or yellow.

This change in color will be easier on your eyes and make the transition to sleep easier than ever. We wrote previously about how the Night Shift Feature will only be available on certain devices. Night Shift will be built into iOS 9.3 and will let you change the color temperature, or can schedule Night Shift to run until a certain time.
