The recent launch of the fourth version of Apple’s iOS 18 beta has revealed major changes, yet details about the speculated ‘Apple Intelligence’ feature remain hidden. While system adjustments and user interface improvements are evident, anticipation builds globally regarding undisclosed features.
Though only available to developer beta testers at the moment, the beta 4 version could be open to public beta testers as early as next week. Created with substantial feedback, this advanced version aims to correct bugs quickly and boost overall performance in preparation for a full-scale release.
It’s worth noting, however, that beta versions may be unstable. As such, some functions from the iOS 18 beta 3 may not operate as expected in the iOS 18 beta 4. Users are therefore advised to exercise caution. Due to unrevealed issues, the beta 4 could disrupt your device operation, and the stable iOS 18 version may offer vast improvements compared to these preliminary versions.
Highlights of the iOS 18 Beta 4 include new wallpapers in CarPlay, a redesigned flashlight UI now available on iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, and several other features. New icons have made their way into the contacts app, and changes in the notification summary interface provide a cleaner view.
Major updates and concealed features in iOS 18 beta 4
Other additions include an innovative custom email flag setup technique, expansion of the Visual Lookup feature, and improved AirPods settings.
Besides UI modifications, the Beta 4 allows light mode widgets to exist alongside dark mode and introduces expanded carrier options for RCS. It also makes significant tweaks to its operating system, resulting in an enhanced user experience. In addition, it brings refinements to features like the Mail settings’ message filtration option and bolsters support for HomeKit-enabled routers along with Siri requests in private settings.
The iOS 18 beta 4 remains under review, and as more changes are discovered, updates will continue. This ongoing revision paves the way for the most current and accurate information to be readily available to users. Feedback thus collected significantly influences the final release of this operating system.
