iOS 18 is live now — how to download and 9 features you need to try first

IOS 18 home screen customization features.

Apple has officially started the iOS 18 roll-out, so if you own a recent-enough iPhone, you can install the update as soon as it appears on your phone.

Although Apple Intelligence is still a month away from arriving in public beta, the standard iOS 18 features still include a lot of fun new customization options for your home screen and Control Center, plus some in-app changes to make navigating the real world or the web easier, keep your apps more secure, and add some extra versatility to photo-managing and note-taking.
