What hidden features have you found in iOS 6?

Question

This is the required hidden gems questions for iOS 6.

Here are the rules:

One feature per answer
Also include how you use the feature or why it is useful
Must be an under-documented feature. No "flag pole" features like VIP's in Mail.

I have made this CW and let's see how the community reacts to this. Not only are CW surveys not required - they work best when people can collaborate on one useful answer as opposed to a beauty contest where certain things get voted up or down for criteria that are vague at best. (e.g. "flag pole" to me certainly isn't the same to you. The whole idea of "under-documented" is so relative and a moment in time as Apple writes KB articles and all the details come out here, in reviews, and in training as people explore the OS.) — bmike, Sep 19 '12 at 19:04
On devices with a magnetometer, tapping the location button in Maps a second time will make the view rotate with your device. (Posting this here for whoever starts following bmike's suggestion to use) — ughoavgfhw, Sep 20 '12 at 00:27
The title and rules of this confuse me. As in, should they be outright hidden (something not documented on apple.com/ios ), or just not major? I love these questions, but usually end up being copies from the documentation. — jmlumpkin, Sep 20 '12 at 12:54
Rather than add a bunch of answers - here is one of many good articles written to survey the little things in iOS 6. iOS 6 Features I Didn’t Know About by Chad Williams — bmike, Sep 20 '12 at 16:39
I am pretty sure that all the new features are documented and therefore not hidden, some are just more apparent then others... — TheXed, Sep 25 '12 at 18:21

Receiving iMessages sent to your phone number on multiple devices.

I know this has been raved about but it is tricky to configure and took me a while to figure out.

Steps to get this working:

Disable and then re-enable iMessage on your phone (this triggers the registration process with Apple servers). Done in Settings -> Messages
Open Messages in Settings on other iOS devices and disable and then re-enable. This will add your phone number to the list. You need to then select it (a tick mark appears next to it). You will now receive messages on this device. There is also a section to choose to send from an address or number lower on the screen.
On OS X devices (10.8.2), open Messages and choose Preferences (from Messages menu) and then choose Accounts. You will now see your number and can select to receive messages on that device.

When you do this, you will get notifications on the other devices confirming that is enabled.

I'm not sure why I see so many people saying that it's tricky to get this new iMessage functionality working.

There were no extra steps. – Sep 20 '12 at 23:09

Do not disturb

You can use the Do Not Disturb setting while your iOS device is locked to silence calls, alerts, and notifications.

The setting is located at Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb.

Also very handy as it will silence a call but if the same person rings back within three minutes it wont silence it.

Regular songs still have next & previous track buttons. It used to be too easy to accidentally push next or previous track while trying to pause a long podcast, causing you to completely lose your place. This change both solves that problem and offers a very handy quick-rewind option.

In iOS 5, Apple added a "Store" button to the upper-left of the Music app. It used to drive me nuts because I'd tap it as I was backing out of a long stack of views (for example, traversing back from now playing, to artist's album list, to the artist list).

In iOS 6, a slight delay has been added to that button. If you back up through the stack in 6, the first tap on the Store button no longer activates it.

Apple's new iOS 6 Maps support automatic offline use for a wide area

Vector maps in iOS 6 are so efficient that Apple can cache a very large surrounding area for offline browsing and GPS navigation under Airplane Mode or when traveling outside of data coverage.

Map data cache is available even after power cycling. Hybrid and 3D building model are cached.

It is now possible to add an Internet link to your Reading List straight from Mail. You no longer have to open the link in Safari before saving it to your Reading List.

More globally, this is made possible by the OS-wide Reading List API, enabling any app to interact with the Reading List.

Open in.... for documents is no longer limited to the last 10 suitable apps. That is, if one taps and holds a PDF mail attachment, for example, all the apps capable of opening the PDF are presented for selection (may need to swipe to second screen, but they are all there).

Delete own Shared Photostream comments

You can delete shared Photostream comments by tapping and holding on your own comment until the Copy | Delete options appear. The option to "Delete" only appears on comments you have made.

This can be very helpful if you happen to mistype, or if you say something you later wish you hadn't.

Rearrange mailboxes. I receive email from about 8 different email addresses and now you can rearrange the order in which they appear.

From the Mailbox Screen, select Edit in top right hand corner of the panel. The three transparent grey lines that indicate moving/rearranging appear. Drag and drop accordingly.
