Of all the little iOS 9 glitches, this is by far the most annoying to me.

Say you start a group text thread in the Messages app, and the group consists of Bob Jones, Chris Roberts, and Sarah Smith.

In the past, when you start a new message and begin typing ANY of these people's names, iOS will suggest the group thread as an option to send a message to. For example, typing "Bob," "Chris," or "Sarah" will all result in iOS suggesting that group thread as a messaging option.

In iOS 9, the only way to get iOS to suggest that group text thread is to start typing the name of the contact whose name appears first in that group thread. So typing "Chris" or "Sarah" will only suggest their individual names...only if you type "Bob" will the group thread show up as a messaging option.

Obviously this isn't a huge deal, but as someone with a ton of different group message threads, it sucks to have to try typing in different name combinations to get iOS to suggest the correct thread.
