The changes that Apple has already announced, such as enhanced customization allowing users to freely rearrange apps on their home screen and create a consistent color scheme for all app icons, have generated excitement among users. Additionally, the introduction of a hidden folder for apps that users wish to keep private has been well-received. Moreover, improvements to the iPhone torch functionality will provide users with more control over the light.
One of the latest features to surface is the ability to customize the quick apps displayed on the lock screen. In iOS 18, users can now choose which apps appear on the lock screen, offering greater convenience and accessibility. This means that users can access their favorite apps directly from the lock screen without the need to unlock the device.
