4. Hide Native Apps<\/h3>\n

\"Hide<\/a>
\nhe App Store offers so many ways to make your iPhone work for you. You can find apps that make tasks simpler to do or more advanced, and as a result, native apps that come with the iPhone can become unnecessary. Leaving them out in the open can become an eyesore and takes up space.

5. Block Calls From Your Ex<\/h3>\n

\"Block<\/a>
\nTired of constant calls from your ex or a persistent telemarketer? Block calls from a specific number by clicking the “i” button beside their most recent call or pulling up their contact card in your phone, and selecting Block This Caller from the bottom of the page.

9. Flyover Tours<\/h3>\n

\"Flyover<\/a>
\nAdmittedly not a new feature in iOS 8, but one you probably didn’t know you could do, is flyover tours of cities in the Maps app. Search for London, for example, and a banner will appear offering the tour. Tap start and enjoy a 3D flyover complete with named landmarks.
