Apple has just released the beta version of iOS 18.3, offering a glimpse into upcoming features and improvements. From notification summary adjustments to new AI-driven tools, this update brings both subtle and significant changes aimed at enhancing user experience.
Notification summaries overhauled
One of the most significant updates in iOS 18.3 is the revision of notification summaries. Apple faced criticism over inaccuracies in these summaries, sometimes leading to misinformation. To address this, Apple has temporarily disabled summaries for News and Entertainment apps. Users are also prompted to verify critical information, as summaries might alter original meanings.
Enhanced user interface
Users with iPhone 16 models will notice changes in the Camera Control settings. The AE/AF button is now labeled “Lock Focus and Exposure,” simplifying its function. Additionally, the new Genmoji feature in Messages allows for the creation of personalized emojis using AI, adding a creative touch to conversations.
PDF editing alerts
For those editing PDFs, iOS 18.3 introduces a new warning system. If you attempt to cut content, you’ll receive an alert that the data may still be visible in some PDF readers, ensuring better data privacy and awareness.
Release and availability
The iOS 18.3 beta is available to all participants in Apple’s beta program. While the final release date remains unannounced, it is generally expected soon. This update is part of a broader rollout that includes other OS updates like macOS 15.3.
Stay tuned for more insights as Apple continues to refine its operating systems, enhancing both functionality and user security.
