2. iOS introduced extension with helps you do actions without opening the entire app. For example, you can send a quick reply to an incoming mail without leaving the current app. You can accept/reject an iCal invitation without opening the Calender app. Almost all the apps from the apple have this feature. In future, third party apps will make use of this feature and we will get some amazing extensions.
