3. Speakerphone calls with Siri
With the new iOS 8.3 update, you can make speakerphone calls using Siri as you normally would to call a contact except this time, you add “using speakerphone” after the comment. For example, you can make a speakerphone call using Siri using the following phrase:
“Call [Contact Name] using speakerphone”

Siri then initiates a call as per normal but the call will be placed on speakerphone, allowing you to be completely hands-free during the entire call. Furthermore, when you pair this with the “Hello Siri” command to wake Siri when your phone is plugged in, you can start a phone call on speakerphone without ever needing to touch your phone.
4. Filter for your iMessage conversations
The message app on the new update include a new feature that lets you filter out messages based on your contact list easily. This feature gives you the opportunity to choose which messages you want focus on at a particular time.
5. iMessage spam report
This feature lets you report a message, from a sender who is not on your contact list, to Apple as a junk message when you receive a message from them. Marking a message as junk automatically reports the sender to Apple.
