Apple unveiled iOS 9 during its annual WWDC keynote this past Monday, and released the first beta version of its new software that afternoon. Since anyone who pays $99 for an Apple developer account can install it — in fact, you don’t even need a developer account to install iOS 9 — we can expect every last detail surrounding the new OS to trickle out in the coming days, despite the fact that developers aren’t supposed to disclose any nonpublic information about the beta.

There is indeed plenty of info out there, but a new photo album compiled by an Imgur user does a great job of showing us almost every new user-facing tweak in one place.

DON’T MISS: iOS 9 is spectacular… and I just uninstalled it

From the new iOS 9 wallpaper to the updated iOS Notes app and almost everything in between, Imgur user “malstrom” has created a large photo album packed with images of the new features in iOS 9.

The back-end changes aren’t well represented in this gallery, of course, since they’re not visual changes. But most of the updates that involve UI changes or end user feature updates can be seen within the gallery.

The photo album starts with a shot of the home screen that shows the new iOS 9 wallpaper as well as iOS 9’s new system font:

We can also see that contact photos have finally been added to the Messages app on the iPhone 6:

And speaking of the Messages app, long-tapping on the camera button now makes it easy to choose if you want to send a photo or a video:

There are also plenty of photos that show the new features in iOS 9’s Notes app:

Apple’s new hidden iCloud Drive app is also on display here (this post has instructions if you want to learn how to enable the app):
