I gave it a couple of days on iOS9 on the 5 and it has settled down. Maybe it needed to do some background indexing or whatever. It was pretty bad before but seems much smoother now. Still tempted to go back for the app switcher and nothing of note I can think of that they've added. iOS9 app switcher is the worst, what was the point in changing that.

iOS 9: More than meets the eye
- Thread starter Maninthemirror

Tried Marvis Music and while some of the customization options were good, it was too visually cluttered for my liking. Bold text. Emphasis on album artwork. Every category starting with a letter. I have five genres of music on my phone and apparently they each need to be separated rather than a continuous single page stream There doesn't seem to be an option to shuffle all tracks within in an album from artist view either, whereas Apple Music had the opposite problem but just fixed it.
Guess I'll just wait and see if Apple fixes up their app.
Apparently it makes a lot more sense when you're using 3D touch to activate it.

They changed it for the 3D Touch functionality, which is where it works great.

For some odd reason, my Spotlight Search doesnt find 1password results. Which sucks because that feature is awesome.....

Have you enabled it in the app settings?

Ahh! Thanks a bunch! Didnt know it was off by default in 1password itself.
Using a 5c here, and iOS 9 runs just fine.

I do most of my browsing through Facebook, but the app opens up websites within its own window. Is there an app that will block those ads, or is there a way I can set the Facebook app to use Safari to open links automatically?
iOS8 was fine on the 5s. No lag or stutters. Consistently great performance. iOS9 is the same, with a split second hiccup loading Siri suggestions. Enough to notice but not enough to interfere with the ability to interface with the device.
Even with the hiccup, speed of use is increased because I can usually get what I want through a suggested app instead of a search.
I'm really happy with iOS9. Everything feels snappier and with the "return to" button it is much quicker to navigate around the device. My one complaint is the new app switcher, which is cluttered compared to the last one.
You been on wifi? I don't think Apple pushes out the update notifications immediately to err'body.
Yea, I only use wifi on me phone. Guess that's why.
If Facebook updates the app to use the new Safari webview controller it should be able to hook into content blockers but otherwise not. That's my understanding anyway.

Running this on an older 5s and a brand new 5s. No lag, generally flawless so far. Battery only dropped like 4 percrent overnight (and i was downloading from iTunes).
That hiccup is present even on my iPad Air 2 with the the pull down access to spotlight/Siri suggestions (sliding to the left is smooth though), hopefully it will be fixed in the following update.
Everything else is snappy and great on both of my devices (5S and Air 2), I'm not getting any stuttering or lag anywhere else.

I was on iOS 9.1 Public Beta but downgraded to iOS 9 but it keeps prompting me to upgrade back to iOS 9.1 Public Beta. Anyone know how to get rid of this notification? I already deleted the user profile that signs me up for the betas.

Has anyone gotten some improved battery life? I have seen some actually. I also like battery mode but wish that could be disabled automatically when plugged into a charger.
Also love the new search and siri options. News feed is nice. I like it and it feels a step up and more stable than Android as always.
I usually check twitter and gaf in the morning on the train into work. I had an LG G3 and that was a lovely phone but man did it get a little warm when doing just that. I guess the 2k screen was a bit much idk. But i switch to iphone 6 and the phone runs cooler and more efficient and only drains maybe 5% on the way.

Anyone know how to stop the Amazon app from opening up every time you click an Amazon related link in Safari? Never had this issue with 8

Apparently the autobrightness algorithm was "made more efficient" in iOS 9, although I haven't noticed what you're describing.
It supposedly ties in to Siri and the News app and curates based on your habits there. It surfaces Giant Bomb videos now for me instead of random CNN articles after having browsed GB via the News app a bunch. YMMV.
Low Power mode actually does turn off automatically if you're charging your phone but only at 80% battery or above, a pop up shows up "...turned off, battery is sufficiently charged."

So how do I turn on the battery widget without an Apple Watch? I can't seem to get it to show up.
Mine did this even in iOS8 but I think 9 has some more hooks for it.
Delete the app?

Yeah the app switcher is laggy as shit on the 6+. It's sad that the app switcher got worse in literally every possible way.

I honestly do not know what is going on at apple.
The OS is getting worse each year.
I thought this year it was all about "under the hood" improvements for a more polished OS on phone.
It is bad enough how long it takes them to release it, always a week before new phone and then put out some laggy shit.
Then all the people are talking about "wait for it to index" WTF.
I love apple but i went back to iOS 8.4.1 before it is too late.
Hope this shit does not run like this on the 6S next week.
Also the app switcher is better in 8.4.1

Yeah getting rid of it may be the only option for now. I do most of my shopping within the browser, but I like having the app around for a quick check on my orders.

Same, I just reset the phone, deleted everything, set it up as a new iphone, and imported by essential data from icloud and it seems snappy now.
Still has to go into settings and disable all the things I don't need.
It's weird how when you double tap the home button now, the extra programs that are open are laying behind the home screen. whats up with that?
Question: I've been thinking about dropping Spotify in favoring of trying the beats thing. Does anyone know how I subscribe to beats for the first 3-months being free? I cant seem to find out where and how to download the app?

Apple Music? It's the built in Music app.

Hope that Google turns Chrome (and their Google Search in-app browser) from just a WebKit window into a Safari view using the newer and better APIs.
The only way I've been able to stop it is to completely close Amazon app from the app switcher.
