These Top 5 Features In Apple iOS 18.4 Update Will Boost Your iPhone Experience

Apple iOS 18.4 update has started to roll out to users. It comes with a number of features set to make the iPhone experience better, especially for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 series users. This update improves Apple’s AI capabilities and also introduces changes in notifications and the way app downloads happen, among other features. Here are 5 iPhone features you shouldn’t miss and therefore, you should update fast:

Apple has made AI-powered features more accessible with iOS 18.4, by adding an Apple Intelligence section in the Control Centre. Users can quickly access Type to Siri, Visual Intelligence and Talk to Siri without having to go through settings, according to a report in Tom’s Guide. To enable this, users need to open the Control Centre, tap the plus icon and add the Apple Intelligence section for instant access to AI tools.

For iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 users, the Action button now supports Visual Intelligence, which is Apple’s object recognition tool. Using this feature, users can quickly scan objects with their camera and either perform a web search or ask ChatGPT for more details. To enable it, users need to go to Settings > Action Button and select Visual Intelligence as the preferred function.

For Vision Pro users, the iOS 18.4 update brings a dedicated companion app that allows them to browse and download immersive content directly from their iPhone. The app also offers tips on how to improve the mixed-reality experience.

Managing app installations is now more convenient with the ability to pause downloads directly from the App Store update list. Earlier, users had to either cancel an installation or use a workaround to stop downloads. With iOS 18.4, just tapping the pause button will provide better control over updates, especially when using limited data.

This feature is beneficial for those struggling with an overload of notifications. The Priority Notifications feature in iOS 18.4 ensures that most important alerts appear prominently on the Lock Screen. This makes it easier to focus on what matters most without getting distracted by less important updates. Users can activate this feature by navigating to Settings > Notifications > Prioritise Notifications and selecting which app alerts should be prioritised.
