Apple’s new 18.4 system update has everything! From the inclusion of AI to the new emojis, the update offers a variety of new features to its users. The update, which was launched last week, has refined the user experience with advanced security. Users with iPhone XR and later models can access the update, whereas some advanced features are only available for the newer models. To download the update, you can go to Settings of your phone, click on ‘General’ and then click on ‘Software Update’.
What are the new features and how can you use them?
The update contains new Apple Intelligence, which has now introduced 8 new languages. Some AI-driven tools, like priority notifications, will rank your alerts based on their importance.
The new Visual Intelligence can identify and analyse any object through the cameras. You can access this update with the help of the action button, but the update is only available in the newer models, like the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.
Then comes the Ambient Music updates, which now have four new packs of playlists: Sleep, Productivity, Chill, and Wellbeing. To access this, you have to add the ambient music feature to the control center, and then select the relaxing playlist option.
The ambient music feature is free for users having an Apple Music subscription. The update also has to offer you new emoji packs.
There’s also an update in the Shortcut, from which you can now access a number of app settings, like Safari, Apple Maps, and News.
Last, but not least, it has made various improvements to the Photos app, like enabling and disabling the ‘recently viewed and recently shared’ section. You can also now sort your photos date-wise.
