The latest iOS 18.3 update for your iPhone is now available for download. These are the most significant new features it has
Apple has officially released the iOS 18.3 update for download and installation, which although it does not bring major new features, contains important fixes and small modifications that improve the performance and security of the iPhone.
This version is compatible with all phones that already support iOS 18, starting from the iPhone XS and up. It also represents a precursor to the highly anticipated iOS 18.4, which will arrive with Apple Intelligence and new features.
The iOS 18.4 update doesn’t include any major changes, but it does introduce practical fixes and details that strengthen the Apple ecosystem. Among the most notable new features is a new commemorative wallpaper for Unidad Racial. Apple has added a new exclusive wallpaper, also available for iPad, and a new watch face for Apple Watch.
Another new feature is bug fixes for screenshots. An issue that caused screenshots taken on the Apple Watch to not appear in the Photos app on iPhone has been fixed. There are also improvements to the Home app, where you can now control HomeKit-compatible smart vacuums using Siri.
In addition to some minor visual tweaks to the settings in dark mode, the camera control button now has a new icon, which while a minor detail, adds to the visual experience.
Security has been enhanced, including the latest updates to protect your device from potential threats. Upgrading to this new version is quick and easy. All you have to do is follow these steps:
- Open Settings.
- Go to General and select Software Update.
- Wait for the new version to download and then click Download and Install.
It is important to be connected to a Wi-Fi network to speed up the update process and avoid possible interruptions. If you don't prefer to do it manually, you can enable automatic updates from the same section, although they may take a few days to install.
Not only did Apple release iOS 18.3, it also released updates for other devices, including iPadOS 18.3, macOS 15.3, watchOS 11.3, tvOS 18.3, and visionOS 2.3. All of these releases include similar improvements, enhancing stability and security across all devices in the Apple ecosystem.
Version 18.4 is scheduled to launch in the spring, bringing with it major new features like improved Siri and the launch of Apple Intelligence. Until then, iOS 18.3 provides a more advanced and secure experience for users.
