Apple's latest operating system, iOS 18, is making waves with its new features and improvements. In this article, we will explore some of the most notable changes coming to your Home Screen and other aspects of your iPhone experience.
First off, let's talk about the Home Screen redesign. With iOS 18, you can now customize your screen like never before. You can choose where to place apps and widgets with new layout options, even if Apple stuck with a grid system. Additionally, users can increase icon size by removing app names, opening up space for larger icons.
But that's not all! iOS 18 also brings customizable control center and locked or hidden apps. You can schedule text messages to be sent later and even use a new password manager app for added security. And if you're in need of text messaging via satellite, iOS 18 has got you covered.
But how can you get your hands on this exciting new OS? To download the second iOS 18 developer beta, one needs to enroll in the Apple Developer program and have a compatible iPhone (iPhone XS and later). It's important to note that users should update their phones to the latest general release before updating to a developer beta and back up their data as well.
