In the stable version of iOS 18, Apple has added many new features and improvements aimed at improving the usability and personalization of the device.
- Advanced home screen settings: Users can now place app icons anywhere on the home screen grid, change their color, increase the size of shortcuts, and even hide captions underneath them, giving more freedom in customization interface.
- Updated Control Center: It is now more customizable and has a new design. Users can customize the controls at their discretion, which makes interacting with the system even more convenient.
- New features in iMessage: In iOS 18, the messaging application received a significant update. Now users can use any emoji as a message reaction, added text effects and new text formatting options. An important innovation was the addition of RCS support, which improves compatibility with Android devices.
- Redesign of the “Photos” program: The program received a large-scale interface update, which makes navigation and use of editing tools easier and more convenient.
- Lock apps with Face ID: Users can now block access to any app using Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode for added security.
- New Passwords app: iOS 18 includes a separate app for managing passwords that was previously part of iCloud Key Binding. The application simplifies the management of passwords, keys and two-factor authentication.
- Game Mode: This mode minimizes background activity to improve performance during games, and also reduces audio lag when using AirPods and game controllers.
iOS 18 continues to develop Apple’s ecosystem, making it more personalized and user-friendly.
