Before the iPhone 16 series went on sale, Apple also officially launched the iOS 18 official version update. This update will allow users to customize their iPhone experience in a new way, relive special moments, and stay connected. The iPhone can be further customized by arranging the home screen, lock screen, and control center in a new way. Let’s take a look at what has been updated in the official version of iOS 18.
First is the update of the home screen, which allows you to flexibly arrange App icons and widgets in any blank position on the home screen, such as at the bottom or on the side; coloring allows you to apply any color to App icons and widgets, or let iOS suggest colors that match the wallpaper; larger icons allow you to increase the appearance size of all App icons and widgets on the screen and remove the names displayed below.
Next is the update of the Photos app. The streamlined layout presents all content in a single view. Collections automatically organize the gallery according to practical themes, which are convenient for you to browse in the form of stickers, grids or memories, or view them on a map. Custom options allow you to reorder, add and remove collection columns, and add only important items to fixed collections for quick access. People and pet groups include photos of favorite people or pets that often appear together. You can experience more updates to the Photos app after the update.
Game mode minimizes background activity to maintain the highest frame rate and significantly improves the responsiveness of wireless accessories such as game controllers and AirPods. The redesigned control center includes multiple groups of convenient controls, allowing you to arrange controls as you like and support third-party App controls; you can access each group of controls by swiping continuously from the right edge, including the most commonly used controls, home controls, media playback, and connection status, and you can also create new groups yourself.
