Apple’s iOS 18.5 beta 1 update is now available to developers. Here are the details about the new update!

Apple has released the first beta version of the eagerly awaited iOS 18.5 update to developers. Having recently released iOS 18.4 to all users, the company plans to make the new version available for general use very soon, provided no issues arise during testing.

First beta update for iOS 18.5 is now available

Apple’s iOS 18.5 beta 1 update is now available to developers. According to reports shared so far, the new version will feature bug fixes and several improvements rather than major new features.

The reason iOS 18.5 isn’t a comprehensive update is that the company has shifted most of its focus to iOS 19. It’s said that Apple has already released almost all of the features promised to users for iOS 18.

However, some surprises might still be in store. Last year’s iOS 17.5 update included unexpected additions such as the word game “Quartiles” for News+ subscribers and cross-platform tracking alerts for AirTag-like products. Therefore, the stable iOS 18.5 patch may include developments that will please users.

In other news, Apple’s latest iOS 18.4 update caused previously deleted apps to reappear on iPhones. Following Monday’s patch, users reported on social media platforms and support forums that apps they had deleted months or even years ago were showing up again on their phones.

It’s unclear how widespread this issue is, but we can say that not all users are affected. This suggests the problem might be related to iPhone model or the user’s region. Currently, the only solution for affected users appears to be deleting the reappearing apps again.
