Key features of iOS 18.1 updates
The iOS 18.1 Developer Beta 6 and Public Beta 3 updates introduce dedicated toggles for AirDrop and Satellite in the Control Centre, allowing users to access these features more conveniently. Previously, these options were only available in the Connectivity window. Additionally, users will now find new Measure and Level features.
A significant new addition is Sleep Apnea detection, which Apple first highlighted during the launch of the Watch Series 10 last month. This feature monitors breathing patterns and alerts users to any disturbances that may indicate moderate to severe Sleep Apnea, which could require further attention. Users can manage these alerts through the Health app.
The Notification Summaries feature has also seen a minor enhancement, now displaying the number of notifications received next to the stack on the iPhone's lock screen, powered by Apple Intelligence.
Additionally, the App Store now supports natural language search, accompanied by a new splash screen to guide users on how to utilize this feature. It enables the use of descriptive app tags for easier app discovery.
The iOS 18.1 Developer Beta 6 and Public Beta 3 updates are compatible with all iPhone models that got the iOS 18 update last month.
