iOS 8 - Safari changes and new features

Clear indication of when 'Reader View' is available

In an earlier Handy Hint, we looked at the Reader feature of Safari that allows you to view an 'uncluttered' version of a web page:  Handy Hint 44 - A great way of reading and sharing Safari web pages.

With iOS 8, any web page that is available in Reader format will now show a prompt in the search bar as the page is loading.

Just touch on the Reader symbol in the Search Bar (circled) to see the page in Reader View format.
