iOS 18 is the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system (iOS) for iPhones, and it brings a number of new features and improvements.
One of the most anticipated updates in iOS 18 is the ability to run multiple apps simultaneously on a single screen, which will be a game-changer for multitasking and productivity.
However, before we dive into the details of what’s included in iOS 18, let’s first address the question that many iPhone users are asking: when is the iPhone 13 expected to receive iOS 18? The answer to this question depends on several factors, including the specific model of iPhone and its region.
In general, Apple releases updates to its operating system on a regular basis, usually every few months. So, it’s likely that iOS 18 will be released sometime in the fall or winter of this year. However, Apple hasn’t officially announced a release date yet, so we can only speculate based on past trends and patterns.
One thing to keep in mind is that not all iPhones will receive iOS 18 at the same time. Apple typically releases updates first for the latest models of iPhone, and then gradually rolls them out to older models over time. So, if you have an iPhone 13 or a newer model, you can expect to receive iOS 18 sooner than someone with an older iPhone.
Another factor to consider is whether you live in a region where Apple releases updates on a different schedule. For example, in some countries, updates may be released later due to local regulations or time zones.
Now that we’ve discussed when you can expect to receive iOS 18, let’s take a closer look at some of the key features and improvements that are included in this update.
Multitasking on iPhone
One of the most exciting new features in iOS 18 is the ability to run multiple apps simultaneously on a single screen. This feature, called Slide Over, allows you to open two apps side by side, so you can easily switch between them without having to go back to the home screen.
This feature is particularly useful for power users who need to multitask frequently, such as students, freelancers, or anyone who needs to keep an eye on multiple tasks at once. With Slide Over, you can quickly switch between your email and your calendar app, or between a document editor and a web browser.
To use Slide Over, simply swipe from the right edge of your screen to open a new app in a smaller window, which will slide over to the side. You can then swipe back and forth between the two apps to switch between them easily.
Improved App Library
Another feature in iOS 18 is an improved App Library, which makes it easier to find and organize your apps. The new App Library has a cleaner, more intuitive interface that groups all of your apps into different categories based on their type and usage.
This makes it easy to find the app you need quickly, without having to scroll through long lists of apps. You can also create custom folders within the App Library to group related apps together, making it even easier to access them.
Improved Privacy Settings
Finally, iOS 18 includes a number of privacy improvements that give users more control over their data and settings. For example, you can now turn off background tracking for location services, which means that apps won’t be able to track your location when you’re not actively using them.
You can also now control which apps have access to your photos and videos, allowing you to choose which apps are allowed to use your media files. This gives you more privacy and security, and helps prevent apps from misusing your data.
