TapTechNews on June 11th, Apple today previewed the new features/characteristics of the iOS 18 system. The most notable improvement is that several customizable tools have been added to the home screen, allowing users to freely move applications, icons, and enable dark mode, etc.

Apple will release the first developer beta version update of the iOS 18 system today, and later will launch a public beta version and officially release it to the public in the autumn. TapTechNews attaches the main contents as follows:

Customized home screen:

Users have further released the control over the home screen to users, just like the function that Android users have had since 2008. iPhone users can finally modify the home screen according to their own preferences.

Users can appropriately move applications and set custom icons on the home screen. You will have more control than ever before.

Icon dark mode

Application icons now have a dark mode, and users can color them to create a unique look.

Control Center

Apple has also redesigned the Control Center. Users can choose the tools that appear, and the control page supports multiple pages. Users can swipe to access other pages of the Control Center.

Application Authentication

iOS 18 also supports authentication before using any application, thereby enhancing privacy protection. Now users can also specifically control which contacts third-party apps can access.

Messages app

Users can use any emoji in Tapback, and in addition, bold, underline, strikethrough and italic formats will be newly added.
