Some of the updates added to the mobile OS included transit directions in Maps, a more capable Notes app, improved Siri, greater control over battery use, and multitasking functionality for iPad.
Adoption of iOS 9 quickly increased after the launch, and more than 12% of iOS devices had been upgraded within 24 hours of the system’s rollout. Two days after launch, adoption had grown to 20%.

As one might expect, the pace of upgrades has slowed in recent weeks. A new third-party report from Localytics claims iOS 9 adoption is at 55% one month following its release. The firm also reports that bugs have interfered with customers’ use of iOS 9.
