iOS 18.3 is now taking place on iOS 18 compatible devices around the world, and although Apple’s latest software update is not as significant as iOS 18.2 (which has introduced several important upgrades to Apple’s intelligence), it always brings key improvements to the board.
The main one among these upgrades is a functionality boost for visual intelligence, and Apple Core applications like Apple Music and Siri are the subject of a few main bugs.
Below, we have gathered all the ways in which iOS 18.3 improves the experience of the iPhone. However, swing iOS 17? Here’s how to download iOS 18 – and what to do if it doesn’t settle down.
Apple Intelligence activated by default
The first major news in iOS 18.3 is that Apple Intelligence is now activated by default. You will always need an iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max to access Apple features of sometimes beautiful and sometimes badies features, but if you n ‘Didn’t I have already allowed them, iOS 18.3 will do it for you.
Previously, you had to go to the settings and register manually for Apple Intelligence to use Genmoji, Playground, Writing Tools and Siri with Chatgpt, among others.
But what happens if your reluctance to register for Apple Intelligence was deliberate? Do not be afraid: you can always deactivate all the AI features in the settings (head to Apple Intelligence & Siri) and even switch certain Apple Intelligence features – specifically the summary of the mail and the extension Siri chatgpt – activated or deactivated.
Visual intelligence 2.0
Stop up to upgrades for users of the iPhone 16 (or iPhone 15 Pro), iOS 18.3 brings a upgrade of major features to visual intelligenceApple on Google Lens.
In its first iteration, Visual Intelligence allowed users to identify the places and objects around them using the camera control button (or not the button). However, in iOS 18.3, the tool is able to recognize dogs, plants and information on the event of leaflets or posters. Neat!
We have taken Visual Intelligence 2.0 for a tour, and although its powers of date, time and location collection can be delicate, it will have no problem to separate your labdrador from your poodle.
Calculator improvements
The next step is a slightly more boring update, but at least it applies to all IOS 18.3 compatible iPhones. In the calculator application, you can now double the equal sign to repeat the last mathematical operation. Exciting!
Seriously, Apple, for any reason, deleted this capacity in iOS 18, and it is certainly extremely useful for calculating the equations of compound interest.
Correction of bugs and upgrades of security
As always, Apple’s latest software update provides several key bugs and security fixes, making iOS 18.3 an essential load for everyone.
For example, iOS 18.3 tackles a boring bug that made the SIRI keyboard disappear when using the TO Siri type functionality and another which caused Apple Music audio reading even after the Apple application closed Music.
The update also corrects vulnerability in the Photos Application which has risked allowing iPhone thieves access to your photos even when your device is locked.
