Problem

The user wants a simple way of accessing different sections of the content.

Solution

Use tabs to make it easy to explore and switch between different views, pages and functional aspects of an app.

As a navigational pattern use it to organize content at a high level. Think of genres in a music player.

When showing more options that fit the width of the screen use scrollable tabs.

Don't nest tabs under other tabbed content. Highlight the tab that is corresponding to the visible page.

iCloud

iCloud connects you and your Apple devices in amazing ways. It makes sure you always have the latest versions of your most important things — like documents, apps, notes, and contacts — on whatever device you are using. It lets you easily share photos, calendars, locations, and more with friends and family. It even helps you find your device if you lose it. And iCloud does it all automatically. Just like that.
