In this article, we’re going to explain how to install the iOS 18 public beta and what new features you can try. Although it is the public version, we must not forget that it is a version in the development phase, so there may be errors, but the overall experience is very good.
What’s new in iOS 18
Here are the most important iOS 18 features to try out if you install the iOS 18 public beta. A version that stands out for the personalization of the home screen and the arrival of one of the most demanded applications: Passwords. Here are the most important features you’ll see:
- Home screen customization: You can place the icons freely, change the color or choose to be in light or dark mode. In addition, you can also make the icons and widgets larger to hide the name underneath them or make your wallpaper even darker.
- Control Center Customization: The Control Center can also be customized. Now, icons can be replaced, resized, or apps can be added like the Shortcuts app, which makes it easy to restart your iPhone. Also, on the top right, there is a new button to turn off the iPhone.
- Possibility to block applications: In iOS 18, applications can be blocked or hidden, so that to access them it will be necessary to use Face ID, Touch ID or password.
- New Passwords app: Passwords for iCloud Keychain leave the Settings app and transform into a password management app. A great addition that will make it much easier to manage all our keys, WiFi passwords and more.
There are other new features, of course, but these four are the most important ones that have come to iOS 18. Each of them goes further and can be taken advantage of a lot, especially the customization functions.
