After more than three months of beta testing, iOS 18 is set to be officially released to the public on Monday, September 16. Users can expect the update to be available for installation beginning at approximately 10 a.m. Pacific Time (1 p.m. Eastern Time) through the Settings app under General → Software Update on the iPhone XS and later models.



In the following section, we have outlined eight significant new features that are part of iOS 18, and Apple provided a comprehensive list of all new features and modifications last week.

The Home Screen is now customizable



In iOS 18, enabling users to position app icons freely across the grid. Additionally, new options for "Dark" and "Tinted" customization allow for the recoloring of app icons. Users can also choose to display app icons in a larger format, omitting the text labels beneath them.

Revamped Control Center.



The Control Center has undergone a redesign in iOS 18. Similar to the Home Screen, it now offers enhanced customization options, enabling users to rearrange and resize controls across various pages. Additionally, users can effortlessly incorporate more controls from the newly introduced controls gallery.

Improvements to iMessage.



iMessage has introduced an extensive array of new features in iOS 18, such as the capability to utilize any emoji as a Tapback reaction, text effects including "Shake" and "Explode," formatting options like bold and underline, the functionality to schedule messages for future delivery, RCS support to enhance messaging with Android devices, among other enhancements.

Revamped Photography Application.



Apple has announced that the Photos application has undergone its most significant redesign to date with the release of iOS 18, eliminating tabs in favor of a unified layout. This transformation has sparked controversy, prompting Apple to make adjustments to the app's design during the beta testing phase of iOS 18.

Secures Applications Using Face ID Authentication.



iOS 18 brings forth a new feature that allows users to secure any application using Face ID, Touch ID, or the passcode of the iPhone, enhancing privacy and security measures. Furthermore, users now have the option to conceal an application, transferring it to a hidden apps folder that is protected.

Password Management Application.



iOS 18 introduces a completely redesigned Passwords application that consolidates numerous features that were previously accessible via the iCloud Keychain within the Settings application. This new app enhances the management of passwords, passkeys, two-factor authentication codes, and additional security elements.

Management of Distractions.



The newly integrated Distraction Control feature in Safari allows users to conceal certain elements of websites, including newsletter subscription forms and cookie consent notifications. Nevertheless, Apple clarifies that this feature is not intended to function as an ad blocker. If an advertisement banner is hidden, it will reappear upon the refresh of the ad content.

Gameplay Mode.



Initially launched on the Mac, Game Mode has now been made accessible on the iPhone. According to Apple, Game Mode "reduces background activity to maintain consistently high frame rates" while playing games, "significantly lowers" audio latency when using AirPods, and enhances the responsiveness of wireless game controllers to an exceptional level.
