Hide Contacts
There are a couple ways to hide messages on IOS 8. With the recent update, IOS 8 software updates shows users their recent contacts with ease. Double-tapping on the home button allows users to see the top 5 recent contacts as well as their favourited contacts. With just a click, users can click on the contact icon and call/text them. To hide this option, click on settings, go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then Show in App Switcher, and disable both Phone Favorites and Recents.

Share Location
Originally, location can be easily identified using find my phone. Now, thanks to iOS it is easy to share your location with friends/family. You are given two options: to share your current location or share your location for one hour/end of day/indefinitely. Simply drop your location pin and send people a quick text. Within seconds your location can be tracked. Begin by opening your messages app and selecting a contact. On the top right hand corner select details, select share my location and select the duration - hour/end of day/share indefinitely.

Share Contacts
Asides from location, contacts can also be shared! At times we want someones number and now a friend can send you a contact from their address book in seconds through a text. From messages click on the persons name, then details, then press the (i), then scroll to the bottom and share contact. This will give you a option of messages, mail and more. To share a contact through text select messages and select the desired person you would like to share the contact with. This will transfer everything you have on that individual under that contact (e.g if you have their address saved too, it will also transfer over).

Battery
Check your battery percentage easily! Go into settings, general, usage, battery usage. To select battery percentage click below the battery usage section. For further details click into battery usage and it will show you the last time since full charge. Below that there will be a list of your running apps displaying how much percentage they use. Click on the last 24 hours or the last 7 days.

Silence Conversations
There are times when we create a group conversation and well, they go on much longer than expected. Until now we were only able to "mute" the conversations in an other app called WhatsApp. Now, in the IOS 8 update conversations can be silenced. Click on the persons conversation, then details, then select do not disturb. To undo this, go back into details, and unselect the do not disturb button.
