Apple has just sowed the version of candidates for the exit of iOS 18.5, by passing it to the members of the public and the previews of the developers. This means that the last iOS 18.5 update is underway and could arrive on your iPhone next week.
IOS 18.5 is not a particularly exciting update, completely said. The improved version of Siri is still delayed, probably coming with iOS 19 later this year, and this means that there is no room for many interesting features. But that does not mean that what is included is not important, even if a large part is still quite niche.
Here are all the features as part of iOS 18.5.
Satellite connectivity on iPhone 13
Although the iPhone 13 does not support Apple’s native emergency SOs with the satellite function, iOS 18.5 will allow the phone to connect to satellite networks when the cell signal is not available.
The plug is that you must be signed on a satellite telephone plan with a compatible operator. Currently, it seems that T-Mobile is the only American carrier to offer this particular advantage. But that is likely to change in the future.
This means that anyone who is still swinging on an iPhone 13 is about to obtain a major security feature. No matter where they are or what they do, this update means that you can always send a message to help if the cell signals do not cut it.
Updates of the messaging application
The Apple Mail application has had a lot of changes thanks to various iOS 18 updates, even if you ignore all the features of Apple Intelligence. iOS 18.5 is not as substantial, but it brings two changes in quality of life that should facilitate all experience by email.
The first is that the view of the “All Mail” reception box is back and is not hidden. The other is that you can now choose to hide the contact photos of the mail application and make your reception box less entertaining in the process.
Simply press the 3 -point menu at the top right and switch the option to display or hide contact photos. Which is much easier than having to jump in the Settings and Hunting Application, as you should do before.
Screen time notifications
Children are as sneaky as they are inventive. They are also much smarter than many people do not grant them. It is therefore not surprising that some of them will try to ensure that Apple screen parental controls – and a handle can even succeed.
You may not be able to stop your child’s early foray into the world of hacking, but thanks to iOS 18.5, you will know it at least.
The update will now inform parents when a screenwriter has entered your child’s device. In this way, you know they have frightened on their phone behind your back.
A new pride wallpaper
The month of pride arrives quickly and Apple ensures that iPhones are prepared with iOS 18.5 – adding a new wallpaper on the theme of pride.
This is added to existing pride wallpapers, but if you want to show your support for the LGBTQ +community, this is another option for you to choose.
Purchases of simpler Apple TV applications on third -party devices
Anyone with an Apple TV 4K will know that there is a very useful feature that allows you to buy content on your TV and use your iPhone to authenticate them. Which is quite useful, and facilitates the purchase or rental of films, and subscribes to all services take your fantasy.
IOS 18.5 also provides this update to the Apple TV application on third -party devices. So whether it is a Smart TV application or Apple TV on one of the best streaming devices, Apple makes the payment process for a little simpler things.
Best information on warranty
The settings menu is changed from time to time, and iOS 18.5 has made Applecare plus the details much more visible.
The Applecare & Guarantee menu also offers more in -depth details on the type of coverage of your Apple devices – whether you have Applecare more or not.
