Apple has just dropped a bombshell with the preview of iOS 18, setting the stage for the most personalized, capable, and intelligent iPhone experience yet. Here’s a sneak peek at the game-changing features that will make you rethink how you use your iPhone:
Ultimate Customization Freedom
Say goodbye to rigid home screens! With iOS 18, you can place apps and widgets anywhere, even above the dock. Customize your Control Center like never before with groups of controls and third-party app shortcuts, and switch up the Lock Screen buttons to fit your style.
Revolutionized Photos App
The Photos app gets its biggest makeover ever. A unified view, daily updated carousels of your favorite memories, and customizable collections make reliving your best moments a breeze. Auto-organized photo libraries and autoplaying content bring your pictures to life.
Smart Messaging
Messages over satellite, scheduled iMessages, and dynamic text effects are just the beginning. Rich Communication Services (RCS) for smoother texting with Android users and the ability to create custom “Genmojis” for personalized expressions are here to elevate your chats.
Apple Intelligence
Meet Apple Intelligence, your new personal assistant that combines generative AI with personal context. Rewrite, proofread, and summarize text anywhere on your iPhone. Create playful images with Image Playground or perfect your photos with a new Clean Up tool.
Enhanced Privacy and Security
iOS 18 puts you in control with options to lock and hide apps, share specific contacts only, and use new privacy-first features powered by Private Cloud Compute. The new Passwords app alerts you to weak or compromised passwords and makes managing them easier.
Upgraded Siri
Siri now supports text-based queries, allowing you to type or speak commands. With more natural interactions and contextually relevant responses, Siri is smarter and more intuitive than ever.
Game-Changing Mail and Safari Updates
Mail now sorts your inbox into categories like Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions, with a new digest view for quick skimming. Safari’s Highlights feature summarizes key webpage info and the redesigned Reader ensures distraction-free reading.
