Recently, Apple has officially released the latest IOS 18 update with new features and added a variety of new renovations that affect many users’ experiences. This update brings numerous customization, privacy, and accessibility features.
Many individuals love to have their home and lock screens customized to a certain theme on their phones. If you are one of those people, then the brand new IOS 18 customization update would best suit your liking. With the dark icon option being added, users are allowed to customize their home screen with a dark aesthetic. For many who prefer further colors, there is also a new feature called color tinting. This update allows you to choose any color of your choice to be added to your app icons and widgets. For users who tend to be indecisive when choosing a color, do not worry about that because IOS can now suggest a color that compliments your wallpaper.
The latest update also offers users a tool to increase their privacy. The tool allows them to lock any apps. For additional privacy, apps could also be hidden in a folder along with the notifications. The app will not even show up in search, notifications board, or anywhere else across your phone system. This gives people peace of mind when keeping their privacy hidden.
“Locked and hidden apps offer users peace of mind [from] … information they want to keep private.” Apple wrote on their website.
The accessibility renovation comes with many new mind-blowing updates. Firstly, the eye tracking feature grants users the ability to control their phones with their eyes. It uses the front-facing camera built into your phone to track the movement of your eyes. This could also help people with disabilities. Screen sharing in SharePlay lets users draw on someone else’s screen and even take complete control of their iPhone when granted permission to. Math notes in the calendar allow users to evaluate expressions and create graphs. Additionally, you can enter math equations in your notes and instantly have them solved.
Overall, the recent IOS 18 features come with a variety of exciting updates. With the latest customizable options, enhancement of privacy, and newly added accessibilities, users find themselves experiencing new abilities on their phones.
