New Yahoo Mail App with Smarter Search, Multiple Mailbox and Password-free Sign-in

iPhone and iPad yahoo-mail-app screen

Yahoo mail this month marks 18th birthday, this occasion is an opportunity for the company to release a new fully redesigned Yahoo Mail app for both iOS and Android platforms, which should be fast, beauty and intuitive. Among a set of new features like Effortless Attachments and lightening fast search, new yahoo app will let you combine your other mailboxes from other email services including Outlook, Hotmail, AOL Mail or yahoo, in one interface. As Yahoo introduced with the app a new password-free sign-in experience called the Yahoo Account Key, that makes the account login faster and secure.

No matter where you are on the internet, passwords are a pain. We’re happy to announce a big step forward to a password-free future with Yahoo Account Key. Account Key uses push notifications to provide a fast and secure way for you to access your Yahoo accounts from your smartphone. It frees you from memorizing complicated passwords, making signing-in to your Yahoo Mail app easy as tapping a button.
Yahoo doesn't provide how the Yahoo Account Key feature are working as far as has repeated that it is easy, secure and seamless.
Passwords are usually simple to hack and easy to forget. Account Key streamlines the sign-in process with a secure, elegant and easy-to-use interface that makes access as easy as tapping a button. It’s also more secure than a traditional password because once you activate Account Key – even if someone gets access to your account info – they can’t sign in.
For more details on the new Mail app, Yahoo devoted a post on its Tumbler blog which has spoken at length on all new features.

Cydia developers need to update their tweaks to be compatible with Pangu's iOS 9 - iOS 9.0.2 jailbreak, that through an update for Cydia Substrate which is considered the underlying framework that all jailbreak tweaks depend upon. Initially, just some apps and tweaks are available to be run on iOS 9 - iOS 9.0.2 jailbreak, but the list will extend over time.

Before starting jailbreak your iOS 9 device, it is high recommended to back up your data through iTunes to avoid any failure that may result in data loss or corruption.

Low Power Mode Feature in iOS 9 How To Prolong Your Battery Life Through It

One of the most thing that could rob our pleasure when we are engrossed on our phones is limited amount of the battery life. Mostly smartphone companies sacrifice battery size which means extra hours-usage on our devices for thinness and lightness. 

The battery size is important but improving and developing smartphones operating systems and apps could also extend battery life, and that what Apple has done with iOS 9, so the devices running by that iOS could endure one additional hour, by preventing the screen to turn on when your iPhone is facedown on the table. Last year Apple brought a new setting with iOS 8 enables you through a list to know which apps consume battery profusely.

This year iOS 9 comes with a new feature called "Low Power Mode," which allows you to increase your battery life up to three hours but at expense of some functions of your iPhone. Low Power Mode not available on iPads.

Enabling the feature just takes some simple steps:
  • From Home screen tap on Settings app.
  • Select Battery from Setting section.
  • Turn the Low Power Mode to On position.
  • You will notice Battery icon turns to yellow color. 

Your iPhone in this mode will reduce or turn off some background activities and visual effects, so in this case for example mail must be fetched manually, background app refresh, and automatic download are disabled, and motion, animations, and brightness are reduced. 

In addition to enabling the feature voluntarily for certain conditions, your iPhone will prompt you with a popup message when your battery level goes below 20 percent, allowing you to quickly toggle Low Power Mode on, so you can continue using your iPhone with necessary functions until you are able to recharge it. You will also notice during the recharging Low Power Mode turns off automatically at 80 percent level, therefore if you still need the mode, after the recharging toggle it on again.

There are many users who impressed Low Power Mode feature one of those, his own iPhone 5s has been able to last 110 hours standby with 5 hours of usage by enabling the feature at 100 percent battery life level, instead of a day and a half with an hour of usage daily. While there are others wondered why it isn't extended to iPads, and other notes like: why it isn't accessible from Control Center, and why it turns off automatically and don't turns on also automatically at crucial level.
