After over a month of beta testing, Apple is finally releasing iOS 18 public beta 1 to registered users of the Apple Beta Software Program. If you want to be one of the first to try Apple’s upcoming software updates before they’re released to everyone later this fall, I gathered the eight best features available with iOS 18 that you will love, besides the Apple Intelligence platform.

When will Apple release the iOS 18 public beta? [U]

Apple announced significant updates for the iPhone with iOS 18 during last month's WWDC event. In addition to a customizable home screen, Control Center, and lock screen, iOS 18 will give users a Photos app overhaul, new Messages enhancements, a new Passwords app, and many artificial intelligence (AI) updates under Apple Intelligence to enhance app functionality.

Apple released the first public beta for iOS 18 on July 15, a little more than a month after the tech giant announced the software at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Apple said the update would bring many new features to your iPhone, including updates to Messages and more ways to personalize your lock screen. But one big change -- and one that's overdue in my opinion -- is all the ways you can customize your home screen.

With the major Photos app redesign coming in iOS 18, Apple aims for simplicity. However, the version of the Photos app in iOS 18 developer beta 3 is a hodge-podge of design that will confuse users. I think that if Apple doesn’t revise its approach, the company will face significant backlash when it releases the updated app to the public this fall.

The iOS 18 Photos app needs some major tweaks

Apple just rolled out iOS 18 public beta 1. You can finally test iOS 18 on your iPhone if that’s been what you’ve been dying to do. I’ve been on iOS 18 since the first developer beta, and I’ll tell you again that the experience has been much better than I expected. I have no reason to return to iOS 17, especially considering Apple will keep adding new features to iOS 18 until September.

The betas launched without any of the big Apple Intelligence features Apple announced at WWDC 2024 — those are expected in beta versions for compatible devices later in the fall — but there’s still plenty to try out. The iPhone and iPad are finally letting you put icons wherever you want, there’s a new option to apply a universal tint to all of your apps, and the iPad finally has a built-in calculator. There are also slick updates to macOS that let you mirror and even control your iPhone on your desktop or laptop screen.
