One of the characteristics that distinguish Apple is that it does not disclose all the new features when unveiling the operating system for the iPhone. It only tells us the main features, and leaves us the task of exploring other hidden features. And in the first partWe reviewed the most important hidden features in iOS 18. In this article, we will continue with you the second part of hidden features in iOS 18 that Apple did not tell you about during its annual developers conference, WWDC24.
calendar app
The calendar has become more powerful with the new operating system. Now you can view all tasks and events from Reminders. In addition, you can create, delete, edit, and complete reminders directly from within the Calendar app. The monthly view also provides the ability to quickly get an overview of events and tasks.
Notes application
When you create or edit a note in the Notes app, you'll see a new list of attachments at the bottom. You can click on it to insert a file, photo, video, scan documents, or scan text. There is also another option to record and insert an audio file within the note.
Support mathematical equations
The Notes application has two wonderful features. The first is to solve mathematical formulas and equations with ease. All you need is to write the equation and then = and you will get the solution directly without having to exit the application to use the calculator.
Another feature is the Notes app's ability to keep track of your recent notes and also allows you to switch between them from the top menu. Tap the three dots at the top, select Recent Notes, and check your previous notes.
Lock screen
with the operating system iOS 18The user can now switch between control options in the bottom part of the lock screen. He can also select one of the tools in the controls gallery or even remove it without a problem.
Diary application
The Diary app has received new improvements thanks to iOS 18. Now, it supports three home screens and six lock screen widgets to easily create new entries, quickly glance at prompts, record your mental state, along with the ability to start quick blogging from the home screen or lock screen, and you can even copy... Audio recordings automatically.
Photos application
The Photos app has seen a huge redesign with the new OS. Now, you can view your recent photos at the top and other categories like Recent Days, People, Pets, Pinned Collections, Memories, Trips, Albums, and Media Types at the bottom. You can scroll down and click on “Customize” to disable or enable and rearrange all relevant sections as per your preference.
Limit battery charge
Previously, iPhone 15 users were able to prevent their devices from exceeding 80% charging. Or use the Optimized Battery Charging feature, which charges based on your habits. But with iOS 18, you can choose to stop charging the device when it reaches 85%, 90%, 95% or even 100%.
Finally, these were the most important features that Apple did not reveal when it announced during its annual developers conference the new operating system iOS 18. It can be said that these features, despite their simplicity, will be very useful to users, and will work to improve their experience more effectively and productively. .

Thank you very much for clarifying the steps for iOS 18
Valuable and rich information when will we see it in reality on our iPhone devices
Hello Faisal Abdullah Al-Fahd Al-Shammari! 😊 Regarding your question about when iOS 18 features will appear on iPhone devices, Apple usually releases major updates to the operating system in the fall, but this could change based on its own schedule. So, follow us for the latest updates. 📱🍏
The battery feature is good in the long term, but not in the short term.
The advantage of controlling battery charging is great
Hi Walid 🙋♂️, I'm with you, the new feature to control battery charging is really great! Offering us more options to maintain longer battery life. 📱🔋😉
Are all of these updates available to everyone or exclusively for iPhone 15 and later?
Welcome, Ali 🙋♂️! The new features introduced in iOS 18 are available to all devices that support this version of the system, and not exclusively for the iPhone 15. You can check the list of compatible devices on Apple's official website. Always at your service! 🍏📱💚
It is available to everyone, my friend.. but Apple smarts are only available on the 15 Pro
Hello brother, I personally use the shortcuts application to lock any application, for a long time. You can also do that from now 😊 and you do not need to wait for the new update.
Hello Ali 🙋♂️, Thank you for your valuable share. Yes, Shortcuts is a good option for locking apps. It is worth noting that iOS 18 comes with many great features that will increase your comfort and productivity. Enjoy using! 😊📱
Did Apple release the update?
No, not for the public, but there is a version for developers, which is not recommended to download on your main device. The update usually occurs in the month of 9 with the announcement of new devices.
A nice thing, but the artificial intelligence feature does not support old devices
Dear Ali Al-Basri 🙋♂️, Unfortunately, artificial intelligence needs a powerful processor, and this is what old devices lack 📱. But don't worry, there are a lot of great features in iOS 18 that you can take advantage of regardless of your device. Enjoy the update! 😊👍
Will voiceover directions change from right to left in iOS 18?
We don't know yet.
I feel like this is the best update in Apple's history🔥🔥🔥
Well done, God bless you
Honestly, the best update in Apple's history🔥
We do not attribute or insult any follower, whatever he may be..
We just blame and criticize Apple for things we did not like, and despite that, a filter or the Phone Islam team blocks and prevents our comments from appearing to the public for no reason..😳
This behavior may make us hate the site and leave the application silently..🥺
By the way, comments are delayed in publishing, but we do not withhold anything.
I commented in the first part of the article criticizing the consideration of these features as something worth mentioning and publishing an article about them, so you took my comment
Why
I do not know
Hi Samir 🙋♂️, We apologize if there was the impression that your comment was deleted. There may be a technical error or a temporary problem. We very much respect your opinion and appreciate your participation. We are here to talk about all the features, even the small ones, for the sake of those who benefit from them and for the sake of transparency in providing information. Thank you for your understanding 🙏🍏
After the additions and improvements to the iOS 18 operating system, is the only difference between it and the Android system remaining in the issue of security and privacy or in other features? I feel that the two systems have become very similar. Perhaps the difference also remains in the design of the home screen, the lock screen, and the shape of the icons and Apple applications, but are there other fundamental differences that decide which of the two systems to use?
Hello Islam 🙋🏻♂️ Yes, indeed, iOS and Android have become very similar in recent years, but there are still fundamental differences. First, security and privacy are still some of iOS's strongest features, with Apple being a leader in this area. Secondly, the user experience on iOS is smoother and more consistent compared to Android. Third, Apple's support for its older devices with system updates remains better than Android. Fourth, apps on iOS are often more stable and smooth. It is also worth noting that Apple's family of apps (such as iMessage, FaceTime, etc.) are not available on Android. So choosing an operating system may come down to your personal needs and preferences. 😊💡
We hope that they will support the Arabic text recognition feature and improve the Arabic speaker for the VoiceOver screen reader and also Siri’s Arabic pronunciation.
Welcome Islam 🙋♂️ Yes, improvements in language support are always necessary. We also hope that Apple will provide improvements to Arabic support for Siri and VoiceOver in future updates. Thank you for visiting and commenting! 🍏💬📱
Well posted
He doesn't deserve a promotion 🤒
I didn't talk about recording calls 🙄
We talk about the features that Apple did not mention, call recording, for which we wrote a separate article.
Despite all these updates, I see that they are very minor modifications to the operating system, and they are shocking, as usual. We were waiting for there to be a major breakthrough in the update.
The updates are good, but I agree with you, they are not revolutionary, but at the same time they are required and Apple had to come with them. But the revolutionary update is in Apple intelligence, which will make the iPhone another device that you cannot do without and you can talk to it about everything and it will enrich you with the required information. Sorry it took so long.
The calendar application displays all official holidays in your country
Hello Nasser Al-Zayadi 🙋♂️, The Calendar app in iOS provides many useful features, but it does not automatically display public holidays. You must add these dates yourself or use another application that specializes in this. 📆💡
I heard that it is available in the upcoming iOS 18 system. A few days ago they said it. Check your news source 😊
Hello Abdulaziz Al-Shammari 😊, yes, it is true, there are a lot of new and exciting features in the iOS 18 system. We checked our sources and concluded that the information we provided in the article is correct and reliable. Thanks for your comment and understanding! 🍏📱
It seems that the answers are automated, not human
Regarding locking applications with a face print, quad or hexadecimal numbers, is it available on the iPhone 11?
Hello Abdulaziz Al-Shammari 🙋♂️ Unfortunately, fingerprint lock for applications is not present as a main feature in iOS 18 or any other Apple operating system. You can use third applications to achieve this task. And always remember to keep your data confidential! 😊🔐
Changing the lower widgets on the lock screen is a nice feature, especially for those who suffer from the flash light accidentally! The feature of controlling the device's charging is an awaited feature, and I hope it is spread to the rest of the older devices!
Hello Muhammad👋, yes indeed, changing the lower widgets on the lock screen is a very desirable addition and avoiding unintended interaction with the flashlight🔦. As for the device charging control feature, it is indeed a great feature and we hope that it will be applied to the rest of the older devices in future updates🔋. Thank you for your comment and follow us for more updates about Apple 🍏!
Excellent information. I wish the pictures shown in the article were in Arabic.
The battery charge control feature is a good idea
