Examine the updates and hidden features in iOS 18.

The September 16 release of Apple’s iOS 18 upgrade brings a number of innovative features designed to enhance the user experience.

There are many undiscovered treasures worth discovering, even if the main updates—like the Home Screen’s customisable icons and the Control Center’s redesign—have received a lot of attention.

The redesigned Settings app, which now has a dedicated Apps menu to make navigating easier for those with many apps, is one of the most noticeable improvements.

Improvements have also been made to the Photos app, which now lets users conceal screenshots from their library and automatically arranges images according to social connections and travel. Users may now also make slowed-down video effects and copy adjustments between photos.

The long-standing problem of music pausing when taking pictures and videos has been fixed in the Camera app, guaranteeing that you can continue to listen to music while taking pictures. Although it is a little hidden in the Plus menu, users may now finally schedule messages for later in the Messages app.

Additionally, Safari has been updated with a feature to eliminate distracting items from online pages.

A prominent “Feels Like” temperature display and better wind speed metrics are two ways that the Weather app improves user experience. Notably, by enabling users to record their emotions and create writing reminders, the new Journal app promotes mindfulness.

Advanced features in the Notes, Mail, and Maps applications are among the other improvements, along with better accessibility features like eye-tracking and Music Haptics for the hard of hearing.

Apple continues to improve its ecosystem with iOS 18, which makes customers’ daily tasks easier and more pleasurable. The hidden features in iOS 18 will improve your iPhone experience, regardless of whether you’re a tech specialist or a casual user.
