With the introduction of iOS 18, (WWDC) 2024 on Monday, the next big update for Apple's mobile operating system brings two new notable features – a new pop-out bezel animation that appears when the physical buttons are pressed, and new improvements in Apple Music. Both of these have been introduced with the iOS 18 Developer Beta 1.
New features on iOS 18 364c6f
The first feature is aimed at improving the visual element of iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Apple Music has also received a new option that lets s add tracks to their queue more conveniently. A new 'Add Songs to Queue' option now appears at the bottom of the queue, replacing the Play Last option.
Furthermore, the iPhone maker has finally added functionality through which s can change the tracks without discarding the entire queue. Another notable change lets s clear the entire queue at once.
All of the aforementioned features have been deployed with the iOS 18 Developer Beta 1 update and s with iPhone XR and newer models can access them by installing the update. Gadgets 360 staff were able to their availability.
To access these features as well as others, s will need to sign up for the Apple Developer program. While it previously required a per-year fee of $99 (roughly Rs. 8,000), Apple made it free-for-all in June 2023.
However, it should be noted that developer beta updates are meant for testing purposes. While they grant s access to new features, the updates are often unstable and carry bugs and glitches, some of which may affect the overall functionality of the iPhone, including poor battery life, handset becoming unresponsive, and unusual behaviour of apps. Therefore, caution is advised while installing the developer beta updates.
