Apple introduced a redesigned emoji keyboard with the release of iOS 8.3 on April 8, 2015. The updated emoji picker not only features over 300 new characters, but it now offers more diverse choices. Here's how you can change the skin tone of some of the emoji characters located on the stock iOS keyboard:
If you use a Mac that you don't want your iMessages and texts showing up on, say at work for example, and you've already set everything up using your Apple ID, the Messages app may automatically start receiving your messages. Whatever the case may be, you can disable it by opening the Messages app and going to Preferences in the Messages menu found in the top left of your screen. In Preferences, click Accounts, then simply uncheck the box next to "Enable this account."
When you are in a text/iMessage conversation and you have missed a bunch of messages, it can be really annoying trying to read all the missed messages, only to have the thread jump back to the bottom every time a new message arrives. This is especially problematic in group texts when you've already missed a hundred and new ones are coming in every couple seconds.
Mail on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch will use the default email address when composing a new message. To temporarily change the From address when sending mail from iOS, follow these steps:
1. Open the Mail app and compose a new message.
2. Tap the field labeled Cc/Bcc, From:
3. Then select the From: field

The official Outlook email client has arrived on iOS. This all-in-one free app provides access to Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Outlook.com, iCloud, Gmail and Yahoo Mail. Calendar and attachment access is fully integrated, with easy access to Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox and other accounts.
Microsoft Outlook is based heavily on the former Acompli app, which the company acquired in December. Like Acompli, Outlook promises to unify calendar, contacts and attachments with email to improve mobile productivity. To top it off, Quick Filters and recent contacts make it easy to search for emails, meetings and files.
