At Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June, the company said it would release iOS 18 iOS 18 will be available to the general public this fall. But the iPhone update has already been released to developers and beta testers so they can try out all the new features, like RCS messaging and Home Screen customization. We’ve put together this cheat sheet to help you learn about and use the latest features in iOS 18. This page will also help you keep up with upcoming iOS 18 updates.
Note that iOS 18 is still in beta, so these features may be buggy or not work properly. We recommend downloading a beta only on a device other than your primary device. Since this is not the final version of iOS 18, the update may be buggy and battery life may be short, so it’s best to keep these features on a secondary device.
Other features could also be coming to your iPhone when iOS 18 is released. Apple has said that iOS 18 will be available to the public this fall, but there’s no firm date yet.
