iOS 18 features, release date and models

Apple is focusing on personalization with iOS 18. Accordingly, the home screen is getting a major innovation after many years. Users will be able to place app icons and widgets on the part of the screen they want. This will create a special experience for the user.

The second biggest change related to personalization will be for app icons. Users will be able to change the colors of both Apple and supported app icons. For example, those who use the screen in dark mode will be able to choose black/white themed icons.

New levels of customization and capabilities are also coming to Control Center. Users will be able to swipe between multiple control pages, including larger media controls and master controls.

Apple also emphasized privacy. Accordingly, iOS 18 allows you to lock apps. So other people will need to authenticate to open apps. You will also be able to hide information in search, Siri and other apps.

Apple brought a major update to the Messages app. It announced the ability to bold, underline and italicize text. There will also be new features such as reacting to messages and popping message bubbles. SMS support will expand with Satellite.

On the other hand, Android will also support RCS messaging. Developed by Google, this technology represents the next step of SMS.

The new Tap to Cash feature will support sending money by keeping phones together. This means that payments and money transfer will become easier.

Game Mode support is coming for iPhone. This feature minimizes background activity for maximum frame rates. It also improves wireless support for gamepads and AirPods.

The Photos app has also been redesigned. Photos will now be displayed with a library and a single grid. A filter button will allow you to narrow by type. It will also be able to filter screenshots. You’ll be able to sort your favorite photos with collections just below the grid.
