rotor questions

I've noticed two new items in the rotor, and I'm not sure what they are. Sometimes in certain apps, I see a containers option on the rotor, but when I swipe up and down, it does nothing. My question is what are containers? Another new item I've noticed is the language section on the rotor. I find this to be particularly annoying. Is there a way I can disable it? Thanks for your help.

I don't know what Containers are either but I can tell you how to get rid of it. If you go to Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver, there is a button called Rotor. In here you can choose what things you want in your rotor and in what order you want them to appear. Very handy. The language one is separate. It is right below the Rotor option in VoiceOver settings. As far as I can tell, it only appears in your rotor if you have got any languages selected in here. If your happy with your default voice, de-select any that are active in this menu and language should disappear from your rotor. HTH
