iOS 18 - Top 10 Features & Changes You MUST Know!!

**Apple Introduces Significant Updates to iOS 18**

In a recent update, Apple has introduced several significant features to its popular mobile operating system, iOS 18. This update is expected to bring about a range of exciting changes that will enhance the overall user experience.

One of the most notable additions is the ability to schedule messages. This feature has been available on Android devices for some time now, and it's great to see Apple catching up with this feature as well. With iOS 18, users can now schedule birthday messages for friends and family, ensuring that they never miss an opportunity to wish someone a happy birthday.

Another exciting addition is the integration of satellite messaging. This feature allows users to automatically connect to their nearest satellite from within the messaging app itself. Not only does this enable text communication, but it also supports emojis, making it easier for users to express themselves.

The emergency SOS feature has also been enhanced, although it's not available in all regions. However, with iOS 18, users can now record audio while calling or recording an audio, and the transcribed audio will be displayed as text. This is a significant improvement over previous versions of the operating system.

**New Features in Messages App**

The messages app has also received several updates, making it more user-friendly and efficient. The new layout features all photo previews on top, while the library is organized at the bottom for easier access. Searching for specific images is also easier now, with iOS 18 filtering out screenshots and other types of photos.

For gamers, Apple has introduced a dedicated game mode that limits background activities, ensuring uninterrupted gaming sessions. This feature will be available in the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models only, due to their advanced A7 Pro chip.

Additionally, AI-powered features are being introduced in iOS 18. These features are expected to enhance the overall user experience and provide more convenience. However, Apple has clarified that AI stands for "Apple Intelligence," not "Artificial Intelligence."

**AI Features**

The AI features available on iOS 18 include an on-device text-to-image generator built into messages, which allows users to generate emojis of their own choice while messaging within the app. This feature is also being integrated with a separate app in development.

Another exciting addition is the ability to give specific commands to Siri, including opening specific documents or showing pictures of pets. The data generated by these interactions will not be logged, and Siri will ask permission before sharing any information.

**Notifications**

iOS 18 has also introduced features that make managing notifications more efficient. The operating system can now sort the most important notifications at the top of the feed, providing a better visual representation of the user's messages. Additionally, there are short summaries available for stacked notifications as users scroll down.

**Eye Tracking and Dedicated Game Mode**

For people with physical disabilities, Apple has introduced eye-tracking technology, which allows them to navigate different options by looking at them. This feature is designed to be more accessible than previous alternatives. However, it may cause some eyestrain in the short term.

In other news, a dedicated game mode will be available for gamers on iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models. This mode limits background activities, ensuring uninterrupted gaming sessions. While this feature is currently limited to one or two games, Apple plans to optimize it for more apps in the future.

**Final Thoughts**

The iOS 18 update has brought about a range of exciting changes that enhance the overall user experience. From scheduling messages to introducing AI-powered features, there's something for everyone in this update. With the upcoming iPhone 16 launch in September, we can expect even more features and improvements as Apple continues to push the boundaries of innovation.

In conclusion, the iOS 18 update is a significant improvement over previous versions of the operating system. Its innovative features, user-friendly interface, and enhanced AI capabilities make it an exciting development for mobile users around the world.

As with any software update, there may be some teething issues or compatibility problems in the future. However, based on Apple's track record of delivering high-quality updates, we can expect iOS 18 to be a great success.

like iOS is actually becoming more like Android I've been listening to some of the things that have changed like RCS messaging instead of SMS customizable control center home screen customization um widget customization AI integration and so much more I am almost convinced personally rather than the customization options I am more excited to talk about all the AI features of the iOS 18 which I will get to towards the end of this video so please do stick till the end okay first of all the biggest change with the iOS 18 is the redesign in the control center you will finally be able to access a wider number of options on the control center you can also resize and change the layout of elements there and moreover if you want to add more controls just long press like this and you can do it or press the plus icon on the top left easy and when you swipe up or down from the right like this you can toggle between different tiles or Pages too you can also tap on the icon here like this or just

screen not just that you can customize a theme for your home screen too just long press on the screen like this go to customization and choose between the given options my favorite is the tinted option that gives you sort of a monochrome Vibe so overall you are getting a lot more freedom than ever had before with the iOS 18 also you can choose between different shortcuts in the lock screen as well in place of the usual camera and Flash shortcuts you cannot opt for any app though there are a couple of options that Apple provides and you can choose between them only for now next you can finally lock and hide apps on your iPhone without having to turn to third party Solutions just like on android5 you get the option to lock an app by setting authentication such as face ID Touch ID or passcode you can also hide your top secret or private apps in a separate folder like this and again it will require authentication to access those two and just like how it is on Android 15 these apps will not be visible in search or recent menus besides that one other privacy feature Apple has added is giving users full control over which contacts third party apps can access not all apps need all the contact information so this way you will be able to limit the access of your important contacts okay next messaging is going to be a lot more fun on iOS 18 first of all you will be able to choose from a wide selection of emojis to react to IM messages uh previously it was limited to a few options but not anymore you also get a few text formatting options this time like underlining certain text or making them bold or italicizing them and then you can also add effects to the text to spice them up Apple has also added a satellite messaging option that automatically prompts users to connect to their nearest satellite from the messaging app itself and now it not only supports text but emojis too uh but again like emergency SOS feature this one might not be available in all the regions that being said probably the most exciting is the ability to schedule messages again this feature has been there on Android for a very long time just like most of Apple's upgrades this year but because my
