Apple today previewed iOS 18, the next major update to the operating system for the iPhone.
iOS 18 features new customization tools for the Home Screen. App icons now feature Dark Mode and users can tint them with a color to create a unique look. Apps can also now be moved around the Home Screen freely.
The Control Center is redesigned and highly customizable with a new gallery. Developers can now provide tools from their apps in the Control Center. Users can continuously swipe to access other Control Center screens. Lock Screen controls are also customizable.
You can now Lock apps with authentication and hide information from Search and Siri. iOS 18 also includes a new way to connect accessories more seamlessly.
In Messages, tapbacks have been redesigned and users can now react with any emoji. Users can also schedule messages to send later, as well as format text with bold, italicization, underlining, and strikethrough. New text effects provide ways to emphasize words and phrases, with automatic suggestions.
