When an app opens another app, there's now a handy "Back" button displayed in the status bar to speed your return to the previous app.

Apple Pay shortcut

Double-tap on the Home button to bring up Apple Pay.

Switch off "Shake To Undo"

I've never deliberately used the "Shake to Undo" feature in iOS. However, probably I've accidentally brought up the dialog box a million times. Now under iOS 9 I can finally turn off this feature. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Shake to Undo and toggle the switch.

Prefer the old keyboard? You can easily switch back to the old behavior by going Settings > General > Accessibility > Keyboard and toggling Show Lowercase Keys.
