It is so great we have been given a flat operating system without any clues how to use it, so we get to watch youtube videos instead of just looking at the UI and understand how it works...

Woah, I did not know about that email trick. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure a lot of these tips show up in the keynote presentations, often with Craig Federighi demonstrating.

That's exactly how I knew about them, but it's great that more people are finding out about these tips! It just shows how feature rich iOS really is.

I couldn't get the photo select to work with iOS 8 but the email trick worked. All this time I was saving as a draft. Nice.
