How do I set swipe actions for email in iOS 8?

Along with tapping, swiping has become an essential gesture for touchscreen navigation, and iOS 8 has added the ability to the Mail app. Now you can swipe left or right on your emails for several options. By default you will have "More" and "Trash" options when you swipe left, but this allows you to add shortcuts for several more options rather than selecting "More" and choosing from the list. Here's how to set it up:

1. Head to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> Swipe Options.

2. Choose the gesture you'd like to configure, either Swipe Left or Swipe Right.

How do I open multiple emails at the same time in iOS 8?

iOS 8 has added some useful functionality to the Mail app. You can now minimize an email that you are composing so you can view another email for reference, or begin composing another email. To do this, simply tap and hold the "New Message" title bar until you've "grabbed" it, then drag it to the bottom of the screen. Now you can access other emails or begin composing a new one.

Submitted by Jon Reed on

Screenshots of your iOS device can come in handy, and not just for those of us that write about such devices. They are useful for demonstrations and obviously for advertising, just look up any app on the App Store and you'll see plenty of screenshots. Screenshot videos are even more useful, allowing developers to give virtual tutorials of their apps. They are especially popular with the gaming community for showing tips and tricks, how to beat levels, et cetera, and just to show off their prowess.
