Apple begins roll out of iOS 9

    

Software update promises to save battery life, speed up browsing, and even track your sex life.

Apple has begun rolling out its next-generation software to iPhones, iPads and the iPod touch.

The latest version, called iOS 9, was unveiled at Apple's WWDC conference in June and has been in beta with developers since.

New features include live wallpapers, better battery life, a smart news app and an updated keyboard.

The software for iOS 9 is available to download with an iPhone 4s or newer, iPad 2 or newer, the iPad mini and later models as well as the fifth-generation iPod touch.

Other additions include a News app, which contains stories specially selected by the tech giant, Proactive Assistant which resembles Google Now, and updated HealthKit tools.

Apple has also added an app that makes it easier for Android users to switch to iOS.

Called 'Move to iOS', the app securely transfers contacts, message history, camera photos and videos, web bookmarks, mail accounts, calendars, wallpaper, and DRM-free songs and books.

Elsewhere, the Move to iOS app will help users rebuild their app library.

Any free apps, such as Facebook and Twitter, that have been installed on the Android device will be suggested for download from the Apple App Store.

While paid-for apps will be added to their iTunes Wish List but will need to bought again.

On the iPad, new multitasking features have been added so users can split the screen between two apps for the first time, or use them both at once.

Apple said these new features will enable iPad users to 'make even better use of its large screen'.
