Multitasking
This can still be accessed by double tapping the home button on any iOS device.
To kill a background application in iOS 7, users simply slide the window preview upward and "throw" it off of the screen.
Any application can be killed in the multitasking menu, including the currently running one. Previously, users could not close the current application.
New lock screen
With the new lock screen in iOS 7, users can slide their finger anywhere on the display from left to right to unlock the device. Previously, the "slide to unlock" capability required a specific part of the screen to be touched.
This convenience also extends to answering a phone call on the iPhone, allowing users to swipe anywhere to take the call.
Information and controls can also be quickly accessed from the lock screen, without a need to unlock the device. The new Control Center can be viewed from the lock screen by swiping up from the bottom of the display, while the revamped Notification Center is also available by swiping down from the top.
Quick access to the camera is also available by swiping up from the bottom right corner of the screen. Users are shown this with a camera icon logo displayed there.
Spotlight Search
In iOS 7, the Spotlight search functionality is no longer its own home screen. Instead, Spotlight can be accessed from any home screen by simply swiping downward.
Doing so pulls all of the icons down to reveal a search box at the top of the screen. This also brings up an onscreen keyboard so a search query can be entered.
Aside from this change, Spotlight search works exactly the same as it did in iOS 6, allowing users to search messages, contacts, apps, music and more.
