Huawei P9 - Closing All or Some Apps
When you have multiple apps open, press the square icon at the bottom menu of the phone, click on the bin to eliminate all apps, or, if you want to keep one or more open, then pull down the app(s) you need to keep open individually with your finger, as you pull them downwards you will notice a lock icon appearing on the top right hand corner of the app. Now when you press the bin icon, that app will remain open.

Lock Screen Magazine Unlock / Theme Change
Huawei P9 Lock Screen
Whilst there doesn't appear to be a menu to disable the magazine display, an alternative way to get around this was achieved by downloading an alternative theme, during the process you are asked whether you want to keep magazine lock enabled or whether you want to discard it.
This can be changed later from the settings:
Settings
> Screen lock and passwords
> Screen lock style
Select Magazine unlock or any other screen lock style that you may have downloaded.

Motion Draw
Huawei P9 Motion Draw
One of the most odd features built into the P9 is the ability to launch an app by tapping the screen with your knuckle and drawing a letter. This unique app launching feature is limited to the letters c, e, m and w which means you’ll only be able to open four unique apps.

Home Screen Search
Huawei P9 Home Screen Search
Swipe down on the home screen (not from top edge as this will show notifications and shortcuts) and a search windows will appear. From here you can search for any application that’s installed on the phone. But that’s not all: the search functionality also indexes all your contacts, music, videos and calendar entries. It can even search Google Docs files.
