Apple just released its new mobile operating system for iPhones and iPads, iOS 8.
There's a lot of big new features like app extensions and third-party keyboards, but there's plenty of hidden features that you probably haven't heard about.
Luckily, MacRumors reporter Bill Savage has created a nifty video showcasing a few of the lesser-known iOS 8 nuggets, and we've included them below.
1. Credit card scanning from within Safari:

When you're buying something online in Safari, iOS 8 will let you hold your credit card in front of the iPhone's camera. It will then lift the numbers and paste them into the correct field, making checkouts a breeze.
2. Quickly access your favorite Contacts by double-tapping the home button.

3. In the Weather app, swipe all the way to the bottom for a 9-day weather forcast, sunrise, sunset, and UV index.

4. To hide a photo, just hold down and tap "Hide": The photo will be hidden from Moments, Collections, and Years, but it'll still be visible in a "Hidden" folder in Albums.

6. Visualize what Apple's dictation hears: In iOS 7, you used to have to wait until you were done speaking to see what dictation had picked up. Now, you can see what it hears as you speak.
