It is so great we have been given a flat operating system without any clues how to use it, so we get to watch youtube videos instead of just looking at the UI and understand how it works...

I'm pretty sure a lot of these tips show up in the keynote presentations, often with Craig Federighi demonstrating.
That's exactly how I knew about them, but it's great that more people are finding out about these tips! It just shows how feature rich iOS really is.

I couldn't get the photo select to work with iOS 8 but the email trick worked. All this time I was saving as a draft. Nice.
