We shall update you on some of the features apple has announced to add in it’s upcoming iOS.

Apple included various new features to it’s OS. Some of them have been inspired from previous android developments also:

Rearranging icons

Increase icon size

Change widget size

New widgets

Dark mode icons

Icon tints

Hide and lock apps

With ‌iOS 18‌, you can rearrange app icons and widgets on your ‌Home Screen‌ and app pages with space between them, providing a wealth of new layout options.

You can make your app icons bigger in ‌iOS 18‌ by removing the app names. With app names in place, Apple needs space to display them, but removing them opens up a lot of area for a larger icon and folder size. Changing the app size does not change the number of apps that are visible, it simply removes text and uses up that empty space.

You can change the size of widgets directly from the ‌Home Screen‌ without having to go into the customization options. Widgets now have a white rounded bar in the corner, which you can drag to make them larger or smaller.

Apple added a new Health widget in ‌iOS 18‌ that shows information from the new Vitals feature that’s both in the Health app and on Apple Watch. It provides an overview of daily vitals or weekly vitals, plus there’s also a new widget for cycle tracking.

Apple’s built-in apps have both Light and Dark color options in ‌iOS 18‌, which allows you to change the color of your icons when you have Dark Mode turned on. The Dark icons are all redesigned with a black background rather than a white or colored background, which makes them blend in better with the ‌Dark Mode‌ setting

In addition to choosing a ‌Dark Mode‌ for your app icons, you can opt to put a tint over all of them, which is an aesthetic that’s useful if you want to match a wallpaper.

‌iOS 18‌ includes a security feature for locking apps or even hiding them entirely from your ‌Home Screen‌ and app pages. A locked app requires a Face ID or Touch ID scan to open, so if someone is using your unlocked iPhone, they still won’t be able to open apps you’ve disabled

Rainbow Time and Other New Lock Screen Widget Options

Quick buttons

iOS 18 wallpaper

With ‌iOS 17‌, Apple added an option to customize the font and the color of the time on the Lock Screen, and in ‌iOS 18‌, there’s a new rainbow color option that adds a variegated rainbow shade for the time. There are no other changes to font or color options.

For the first time, you can change the Flashlight and Camera icons on the Lock Screen, picking something more useful or turning them off entirely.

There are four new ‌iOS 18‌ wallpaper options in pink, yellow, azure, and purple with a matching darker colored swoop. These all have a Light Mode and a ‌Dark Mode‌ shade customized by Apple, with the ‌Dark Mode‌ featuring a background glow for the darker part of the design.
