Users of Skype for iOS can now use the app while using another app simultaneously. Taking advantage of the new feature of iOS 9, you can do your Skype chat while searching or doing another task in one split screen.

Skype also has two new features with its latest update. One is the ability to reply to a message through the notification banner without opening the app. Just make sure to allow Skype notifications in your iOS settings. And, you can also begin a chat by just searching your Skype contact directly from Spotlight.

Apple’s iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are apparently water-resistant

The new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus have a lot of new features to boast including the new Force Touch and an updated iOS9. But as YouTube user Zach Straley shows on his video, these new phones might be water-resistant all along. Check out the attached video.

Both phones were submerged under fresh water for a total of 1 hour and everything seemed to be working fine after the test. Although these handsets could secretly be water-resistant, we still wouldn’t recommend doing this on your brand new iPhones. It’s just reassuring to know that if an accident happens and your iPhone falls on water or gets wet under the rain, it could still survive like nothing happened.
