Apple updated the software on iPhones and iPads on Monday.
Although Apple is advertising some of the new abilities your phone just received, like a new mode that makes reading easier at night, many of the best tweaks go unadvertised. Often iPhone users have no idea they even exist.
After a week of using iOS 9.3, I went through the change log and forums to find the best new hidden features.
But first: If you don't have the update, grab it in Settings > General > Software Update.

It's quite an involved process that involves wiping your phone,
installing Apple Configurator, a free tool usually used by system
administrators, and removing specific package modules. But it might be
worth it to clear your phone of your junk Apple folder forever.

One of the new biggest improvements in the latest version of iOS is that you can hide those Apple apps you don't use anymore. It's not easy, but it's possible.
From Reddit:
9.3 adds the ability to hide applications
on the home screen based on the bundle ID. Create a configuration
profile in Apple Configurator 2.2 Beta with a restrictions payload set
to "Do not allow some apps" under "Restrict App Usage" in the Apps
section of the Restrictions. Add the necessary bundle IDs like
com.apple.tips, com.apple.stocks, then plug in your device and apply the
profile. The icons will simply disappear from the home screen.
But before you do that, give those unused Apple apps another spin, because many of them have new features. For example, in the Activity app, there's a new Workout tab that collects your physical activity.
