**Getting Started with iOS 18.1: A Comprehensive Guide**

To get started with the latest version of iOS, which is now available as iOS 18.1, you'll want to make sure your iPhone is connected to a power source and next to another iPhone. Letting them sit together for about 15 minutes will allow you to take advantage of the latest features. After the update process, go into Settings > About and check that you're running the latest AirPods update, version 6F21 (also known as AirPods Pro 2) which includes new hearing aid capabilities.

Once you've updated your iPhone to iOS 18.1, your device will prompt you to enable Apple Intelligence if you don't have it already enabled during setup. If you didn't enable it during the initial setup process, don't worry – you can always jump into Settings > Apple Intelligence and manually enable it. Additionally, make sure you've also enabled the "Type to Siri" feature, which allows you to double-tap on the bottom of the screen to ask questions to Siri without having to use your voice.

Another exciting new feature is the "Cleanup Tool" in the Photos application. This tool uses Apple Intelligence to remove objects from the background of photos. To access this feature, go into Settings > Photos and download the Cleanup Tool. Once downloaded, you can select objects in the background of a photo and have them removed using Apple Intelligence. Simply tap on the subject, and let the tool do its magic.

In addition to these features, there are three other settings you may want to explore after updating to iOS 18.1. First, go into Settings > Messages and enable RCS support for businesses if you're a business owner. This will provide better communication with your customers. Next, head into Settings > Phone and enable call recording on your iPhone. This feature allows you to record calls and save them as needed.

Finally, make sure you've enabled notification summaries in the Notification Center. If you didn't do this during the initial setup process, you can always go into Settings > Notification Summary Previews and manage all your notifications directly from here. This feature summarizes all your notifications and surfaces the most important information, allowing you to get things done faster.

**Control Center: A New Era of Customization**

In iOS 18.1, Control Center has received some exciting updates. One new feature allows you to reset your entire Control Center back to its factory settings if you've customized it too much. To do this, go into Settings > Control Center and tap on the "Reset" option. This will restore your Control Center to its default state.

Another significant update is the addition of separate controls for each type of toggle. For example, you can now access Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cell service, AirDrop, and other connectivity toggles separately without having to group them together on a single platter. To take advantage of this new feature, go into Settings > Control Center and tap on "Add" to add the individual toggles. This will give you more control over your Control Center experience.

**Conclusion**

iOS 18.1 is packed with exciting features that can enhance your mobile experience. By following these steps and exploring the various settings and features of this new update, you can get the most out of your iPhone. Whether you're looking to take advantage of Apple Intelligence, the Cleanup Tool, or Control Center's new customization options, there's something for everyone in iOS 18.1.
