1. Get creative with emoji
You've no doubt already heard that iOS 8.3 comes with a bucket-load of new emoji symbols for you to play around with. As well as a more ethnically diverse set of characters you also get new additions such as an Apple Watch and more flags. To find the extra faces, open up the emoji panel on the keyboard (via the smiley) then press and hold on an icon.
2. Make calls over Wi-Fi
Update your iPhone to iOS 8.3 and you gain the superpower of being able to switch seamlessly between Wi-Fi and cellular networks for your calls—provided you're on a compatible network. The trick works with EE in the UK and Sprint and T-Mobile in the US, and you can activate it by heading to the Wi-Fi Calls entry in the Phone section of Settings.
3. Use Google's two-factor authentication easily
Apps and platforms that don't support Google's two-factor authentication require an app-specific password, which means another step to navigate. In iOS 8.3, when you add a Google account through Mail, Contacts, Calendars in Settings, you'll be prompted for a standard verification code instead of a password, making the process more straightforward.
4. Connect to CarPlay wirelessly
If you're the earliest of early adopters then you'll be pleased to know that iOS 8.3 supports CarPlay wirelessly—in other words, there's no need to connect your phone or tablet up to a head unit with a Lightning cable. To set it up you need to start from the car side by pressing and holding the voice control button on your dashboard.
5. Filter out iMessage spam
As anyone with your Apple ID email address can hit you up with an iMessage, you might occasionally get communications from people you don't know, but iOS 8.3 helps you filter these out more easily. Go to Settings, Messages and then tap Filter Unknown Senders to create a new section in Messages that makes it easier to see and report spam.
6. Make speakerphone calls with Siri
Perhaps you didn't know that launching speakerphone calls with Siri was previously impossible—but now it most certainly is an option. If you ask Apple's helpful digital assistant to call someone "on speaker" then the speakerphone is used, and it can come in handy on the move, in meetings, in your car, and various other places where hands-free is preferable.
7. Download free apps without entering your password
Having to enter your password every time you install an app is great from a security standpoint but a bit of a hassle when you're working on an apps round-up or something similar. You can now set the App Store to never ask you for a password for free downloads: from Settingschoose iTunes & App Store then Password Settings. If you have restrictions enabled (viaGeneral, Restrictions) then it appears on that screen instead. The option isn't available if you use Touch ID.

With AirDrop, you can share photos, videos, websites, locations, and more with people nearby with an Apple device.

If you still can't find a nearby user, consider setting AirDrop to Everyone. You might also need to turn off Personal Hotspot on one or both devices.
The other user will receive an alert with a preview of the content you want to share, and can either accept or decline. If the other user accepts, they'll get the content in the app you sent it from. For example, photos will appear in the Photos app and websites will open in Safari.
Using parental controls, you can restrict explicit content from displaying in the iTunes Store. You can also disable podcasts, radio content, the iTunes Store, and shared music so that these items don't appear on the left side of the iTunes window.

Snapchat-Like photos and videos
You can now send instant self-destructing videos, audio clips and pictures to your contacts via iMessage, not unlike Snapchat. To send a picture, go to your message window and tap and hold the camera icon on the left hand side. A small circular window will emerge, allowing you take a quick snap. A word of warning: once the picture or video has been shot, it will send immediately, there is no confirmation or edit screen, so make sure you don’t test this one while sitting on the toilet.

Mute individual people
If you don’t want to mute your entire phone but there’s someone constantly texting you, you can now mute individual people from your contact list. Open their message window, select details in the top right corner and then swipe the Do Not Disturb button. You will no longer be notified of their messages until you turn Do Not Disturb off.

Siri Shazam
Siri’s power continues to grow in iOS 8 thanks to its recent marriage with Shazam, a music identification service. Hold down your home button to activate Siri and say “Siri, what song is this?” wait for it to say “Let me listen” then hold your device up to the song that you’re trying to identify. This service is surprisingly accurate.

Share your location
If you’ve arranged to meet a friend somewhere, don’t bother trying to explain where you are, show them. iOS 8 comes with the ability to share your exact location. Tap Details in the top right of your message window and select Send My Current Location. The recipient will get a snapshot of your current whereabouts. If you’d like to share your location that updates as you move, select Share My Location instead.

Automatically send last location of phone before it dies
If you misplace your iPhone, Find My iPhone will use your device’s GPS to pinpoint its exact location. However, your phone will need some power for this feature to work. A good way to combat the power issue is to tell your phone to broadcast its last location right before the battery dies. Turn this on by going to Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone.
