iOS 18 brings a host of new features to the iPhone, making it more customizable, capable, and intelligent. This update includes all-new customization options, the biggest redesign of the Photos app, powerful updates for staying connected, and the introduction of Apple Intelligence, a personal intelligence system.




Enhanced Customization

iOS 18 allows users to customize the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center in new ways. Users can arrange apps and widgets in any open space on the Home Screen, customize the buttons at the bottom of the Lock Screen, and quickly access more controls in Control Center. The Home Screen can be tailored to personal preferences with new effects and larger app icons, while the redesigned Control Center offers easier access to frequently used controls.

Redesigned Photos App

The Photos app receives its biggest-ever redesign, featuring a simplified, single view with new collections to help users easily find and relive special moments. New collections organize photos by themes, and a new carousel view presents daily highlights, making it easier to enjoy past moments. The app is customizable, allowing users to pin collections and organize content based on personal preferences.

Staying Connected with Messages

Messages in iOS 18 introduces new text effects and formatting options to enhance conversations. Users can now apply dynamic, animated appearances to any letter, word, phrase, or emoji, and add formatting like bold, underline, italics, and strikethrough. Tapbacks expand to include any emoji or sticker, and users can schedule messages to send at a later time. Additionally, Messages via satellite allows users to communicate when cellular or Wi-Fi connections are unavailable, ensuring they can stay connected anywhere.

Improved Mail Management

Mail gets new features to help users manage their inbox more effectively. On-device categorization sorts incoming email into Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions, making it easier to find important messages. A new digest view pulls together relevant emails from a business, allowing users to quickly scan for important information.

Safari Enhancements

Safari, the world's fastest browser, now offers new ways to discover information on the web with Highlights and a redesigned Reader experience. Machine learning surfaces key information about webpages, while the new Reader includes a summary and table of contents for longer articles, making it easier to enjoy content without distractions.

New Passwords App

The new Passwords app builds on Keychain, providing users with easy access to passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, and verification codes. The app includes alerts for common weaknesses and helps users manage their security more effectively.

Privacy Features

iOS 18 introduces new privacy features to give users more control over their data. Users can lock and hide apps, ensuring private information remains unseen. The system also allows users to share only specific contacts with an app and seamlessly connect third-party accessories without exposing their entire network.

Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence, deeply integrated into iOS 18, combines generative models with personal context to deliver highly relevant and useful intelligence. New systemwide Writing Tools help users rewrite, proofread, and summarize text across various apps. Image Playground allows users to create playful images, while Memories in Photos can craft storylines from users' descriptions. Siri becomes more natural and contextually relevant, and Private Cloud Compute ensures data privacy by processing requests without storing or making data accessible to Apple.

Additional Features

Other notable features in iOS 18 include enhancements to Apple Maps, Game Mode for improved gaming experiences, new payment options with Apple Pay, SharePlay with Apple Music, and updates to AirPods for more personalized interactions. The Notes app introduces Math Notes for solving equations, while the Journal app adds insights and search capabilities for better journaling experiences. Calendar now integrates events and tasks from Reminders, and the Health app gets updates for better pregnancy data management and emergency information. Emergency SOS Live Video and Home app updates further enhance the iPhone's functionality, while accessibility updates make the device more inclusive.

With these extensive updates, iOS 18 transforms the iPhone experience, making it more personal, capable, and intelligent while keeping user privacy at its core.
