    The iOS 18 Public Beta just came out so these are all the significant features you can use right now! Customization & Messages stand out right now, and the Photo App gets a facelift for better or worse. There are no significant Apple Intelligence features in this beta. And remember, install it at your own risk, and I always say NEVER put a beta on your main driver.
    LET'S BE FRIENDS!

      I actually like the new Photos app. I just think it'll take a little getting used to. I like how all the collections have an instant Ken Burns effect, which gives the app more energy and life (ugh, that sounded cheesy).
      My two favorite features are the new Control Center and the new features in Messages like the colorful Tapbacks and text formatting, even though I can't use it yet since I'm the only person that I know that installs the beta on my one and only iPhone. 😅

    4:37 this flashlight functionality is literally what I use the most. That’s a big one when looking under a bed or couch. Otherwise, in SOME instances, the default wider setting is useless. Need proof? Drop a lug nut in an engine in a poorly lit garage and try to use your iPhone flashlight in pre iOS 18. It’s not completely useless, it’ll help you see, but you’re gonna move ya head around, try to look around and under some tubes or timing belts, and you’ll miss it in shadows. Focus the light and amp up intensity, it’s like light with a purpose. More “pen light”.

    I put some photos from my Mac to my iPhone (DSLR from wedding vendor) and because the godsend photo library do not allow customization of photo sequence, my photo timeline is therefore, all over the place. Plus now I can't find anything captured purely from iPhone/iPad, its all jumbled together, it's a holy mess. I will not update until they fix that shit.

    the hide app is pretty half baked tbh.....I mean anyone with knowledge of this feature can goto your app lib. and see you have hidden apps...even though they won't be able to open the app up without Face ID/and your passcode....which defeats the purpose as even without this hide app feature no one will be able to open your phone up to begin with to access the apps...I think Samsung does it better where you can rename the hidden folder...show/hide the hidden folder etc. as an example - on my s24U I can hide my banking apps into a hidden folder which I rename to whatever I want...change the hidden folder icon to whatever I want and if I want I can show or hide the hidden folder within the app drawer. I like the control panel and its look though along with a feature I have been waiting on iOS for soooooooooooo long - the ability to schedule a text message. I haven't installed the beta on my ip15pm yet but will give it a try
