Apple has officially launched iOS 18, introducing a revamped Photos section, improved Mail and Messages applications, and enhanced home screen customization options. Users can now select the appearance of app icons and widgets, choosing from light, dark, or color-tinted options, or opt for larger icons for a more streamlined presentation.
The updated Control Center offers increased flexibility, featuring powerful groups of controls for favorites, media playback, Home controls, and connectivity. Additionally, a new controls gallery includes options from third-party applications. Users can easily access their preferred controls from the Action button and customize settings directly from the Lock Screen. The redesigned Photos layout consolidates the library into a single view, showcasing new collections such as Recent Days, People & Pets, and Trips, which are organized through on-device intelligence.
