5 Hidden Features of iOS 6

With the release of iOS 6 came several known updates,such as Maps, Siri,and Passbook, that Apple advertised when they introduced their new mobile operating system.  Along with those features came several other lesser known ones that Apple did not advertise.

1. Pull to Refresh

iOS 6 finally allows you to pull down to refresh your mail accounts and various other data sources.


2. Many New Emojis

Emojis are the icons you can add to messages, emails, or really anywhere that accepts text in iOS. Apple just added new options. If you have your emoji keyboard enabled already, you don't have to do anything. If not, you can enable it in the Settings app.


3. Limit Ad Tracking

This feature makes it possible to stop advertisers from tracking your activity and serving up targeted ads. iOS 6 lets you turn off tracking with a simple switch. In order to limit ad tracking, head to Settings > General > About > Advertising and flip the switch to On.

4. Alarm Songs

Apple has finally added the option to select alarm songs from your iTunes library on your device. Prior to iOS 6 you had to download a third party app to accomplish this.

5. Late Night Listening

This feature is a new EQ setting that allows you to lower bass levels and attempts to make your music less-intrusive in the evening so you can listen and fall asleep easily without being distracted by anything too obnoxious.
