25 August 201641By Luke FilipowiczEver since Apple released iOS 9, we've had the iCloud Drive app, which lets you see everything and anything stored in your iCloud Drive on iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and even Mac. In iOS 9, the iCloud Drive app starts off hidden by default. You can get it back on your device at any time.

With PiP, part of the new multi-app multitasking features for iPad in iOS 9, the idea is that you can watch a video while doing something else at the same time.
