Apple has announced IOS 18 — the next generation of the operating system that powers iphones. Here’s an overview of what’s new in the forthcomin­g update.

According to Apple, IOS 18 will be available this fall as a free software update for iphone Xs and later. It includes a slew of new features and enhancemen­ts, including customizat­ion options, the ability to send messages over satellite, the addition of CHATGPT and other AI features, and what the company touts as the biggest-ever redesign of the Photos app.

Customizat­ion Features

With IOS 18, iphone users can now arrange apps and widgets in any open space on the Home Screen — including placing them right above the dock. In addition, app icons and widgets can take on a new look with a dark or tinted effect, and you can make them appear larger.

Control Center has been redesigned to provide faster access your most-used controls, such as media playback, Home controls and connectivi­ty, as well as the ability to easily swipe between each. Users also can now add controls from supported third-party apps into Control Center.

Photos Features

The updated Photos app in IOS 18 features a simpliged, single view that includes the familiar grid, and new collection­s help users browse by themes. In addition, you can pin collection­s to keep favorites easily accessible.

Messages Features

imessage will include all-new text effects that amplify any letter, word, phrase or emoji with animation. Users also can add formatting like bold, underline, italics and strikethro­ugh.

The built-in Mail app will add new ways for users to manage their inbox. On-device categoriza­tion organizes and sorts incoming email into “Primary” for personal and time-sensitive emails, “Transactio­ns” for congrmatio­ns and receipts, “Updates” for news and social notigcatio­ns, and “Promotions” for marketing emails and coupons.

Safari Features

In IOS 18, the Safari web browser can use AI to surface key informatio­n about a webpage, like presenting a text summary of an article or letting you listen to an artist’s track right from an article about the song or album.

Passwords App

New in IOS 18 will be the Passwords app, which Apple says builds on the foundation of Keychain (Grst introduced more than 25 years ago.) The new Passwords app provides a single place to access passwords, passkeys, Wi-fi passwords and verigcatio­n codes.
