You Can Now Upgrade to the Official Version of iOS 18
iOS 18 is here. After three months of beta testing, Apple's latest update is now available for all compatible iPhones. Here's how to get it up and running on your device.
What's new with iOS 18?
iOS 18 isn't going to dramatically change your iPhone, but it does add some interesting and useful new features to the mix. With this update, Apple is giving users a ton of Home Screen customization options: You can adjust the tint of your app icons, and place those icons anywhere you want, which might make Android users feel more at home on iOS.
Speaking of Android, iOS 18 also introduces RCS support for the first time. The change brings iMessage-like features to "green bubble" texts between iPhone and Android devices: No longer will group chats be broken, or videos arrive totally pixellated. The chats will still be green, though.

Control Center is also getting an overhaul: Like the Home Screen, you can basically customize your Control Center to sport any functions you want, and remove any you don't. There's even a power button option for the first time, so you can shut down your iPhone directly from Control Center.
Of course, there are plenty of other fresh updates with Apple's latest version of iOS. For more info on new iOS 18 features and changes, check out our feature guide here.
