AssistiveTouch
AssistiveTouch floats a small menu on your display (which you can move about on the screen to wherever suits you) that allows you to carry out gestures such as pinching or multi-finger swipes with a single finger, offers quick access to a variety of functions, and even allows you to activate Siri without pressing the Home button.
There are three ways to activate AssistiveTouch:
Tap Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch, then switch on AssistiveTouch
Tap Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut and then activate AssistiveTouch
Ask Siri: "Turn on AssistiveTouch"

Shake to Undo
I've never deliberately used the "Shake to Undo" feature in iOS. However, probably I've accidentally brought up the dialog box about a million times. Now since iOS 9 I can finally turn off this feature.
Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Shake to Undo and toggle the switch.

iOS 9 comes with an iCloud Drive app that allows you to interact with the files you have stored in iCloud, but it's been strangely hidden by default.
To reveal it go to Settings > iCloud> iCloud Drive and toggle Show on Home Screen.

Are
you
finding
that
your
iPhone's
battery
life
is
bad
since
installing
iOS
12.1.4?
I'm
coming
across
numerous
reports
that
on
social
media
from
users
who
claim
that
Apple's
latest
...
I'm
sure
I'm
not
alone
when
I
say
that
I
too
many
apps
on
my
iPhone.
But
while
many
are
ones
that
I
turn
to
occasionally,
and
other
were
flash-in-the-pan
apps
that
I
used
for
a
bit
and
then
...
iOS
doesn't
give
a
direct
way
to
passcode
access
to
apps,
but
by
using
the
Screen
Time
feature
we
can
pull
off
something
that
is
workable.
Bear
in
mind
that
this
trick
does
have
limitations,
...
Are
you
finding
that
your
iPhone's
battery
life
is
bad
and
just
doesn't
make
it
through
the
day?
Or
has
the
problem
started
recently,
maybe
after
installing
iOS
12.1?
Here's
how
to
use
...
The
bottom
line
is
that
the
longer
you've
been
using
an
iPhone,
and
the
more
you've
made
use
of
Apple's
features
and
services,
the
harder
it's
going
to
be.

Your
iPhone
and
iPad
is
likely
packed
with
important,
valuable,
and
even
sensitive
information
that
you
might
not
want
others
to
be
able
to
access.
Here
are
the
steps
you
should
take
...
iOS
12
is
packed
with
loads
of
useful
features.
The
only
problem
is
that
if
you
don't
know
about
them
you
might
never
know
they
are
there!
Here's
a
compilation
of
my
favorite
features.
