The third beta version of IOS 18 update Officially for developers. The new update brought some noticeable changes in home screen customization, various design and interface modifications, and much more. Here's a comprehensive look at everything new in this version.
Currently, the iOS 18 update is available for developer beta testing, and the public beta is expected to be released within days. It is important to note that changes and improvements in the early beta stages may be unexpected. This means that what worked in the second beta may break in the third beta. As always, caution is advised when dealing with trial versions.
The most important new features and changes
◉ The third beta version of the iOS 18 update adds a new feature that turns application icons on the home screen into dark mode automatically. This means that when you activate dark mode on your phone, the colors of the app icons will change to suit this mode. But the way this feature works seems advanced. It appears to use advanced artificial intelligence technology to analyze images and change their colors.
In short, Apple has added a clever way to make the iPhone screen look better in dark mode, and it is using advanced technology to do so.
◉ The default background on the iPhone screen has been updated to include a new “dynamic” option to change colors. If you enable this new dynamic setting, your phone's background color will automatically change throughout the day. The background may be blue in the morning, then turn orange at sunset, and may become dark at night.
In short, this feature makes your phone’s wallpaper “live” and changes over time, adding an aesthetic and dynamic touch to the iPhone screen.
◉ The Flashlight received a major update for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users. Apple has improved the way the flashlight control appears in the dynamic island. This means that interacting with a lamp and turning it on or off just got better and easier.
◉ In the Photos app, the Select button is now always visible. Previously, you had to swipe up to the photo grid to appear, adding an extra step every time you needed to select an image.
◉ Also, in the Photos app and Photo Viewer, the two-finger zoom gesture has been brought back, so it now works like iOS 17 and earlier.
◉ In Settings, the “RCS messages” to provide more details about the feature. It can be accessed through Settings > Apps > Messages > RCS Messages.
◉ The emoji keyboard has been modified to display larger icons that are easier to see and tap.
◉ Below the emoji keyboard, you can also access stickers and emojis.
◉ When focus mode is activated, the Messages app no longer displays the contact name for silent notifications. Instead, it just says “Messages.”
◉ The dark mode icon for Apple Maps has been redesigned.
The public beta version of the iOS 18 update is coming soon
Apple announced last month that the first public beta version of the iOS 18 update would be released in July, so it should be released within days. Based on previous years, the public beta is expected to be released in the first half of July. The iOS 16 update was released on Monday, July 11, 2022, and the iOS 17 update was released on Wednesday, July 12, 2023.
How to get the public trial version
◉ Go to Apple’s website beta.apple.com, log in with your Apple account, and accept the terms and conditions.
◉ On iPhone, open Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates and the beta version will appear when available.
There is no doubt that the public trial version is more stable, safer, and has fewer problems, but it is still in the experimental scope, and it is preferable to install it on a secondary device, or make a backup copy of your data first before installation.
Compatible Devices
The iOS 18 update is compatible with the same iPhone models that support iOS 17, i.e. iPhone XS, XR and later.
As for the new features, we have mentioned them in several articles, you can refer to them under the iOS 18 tag.

Peace be upon you. Unfortunately, this situation is due to the new iOS 18 update, not every version of the first iPhone 15 Plus and then the lower one.
Wait, I'm curious to know about the iOS 60 point update XNUMX 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hello world of iOS and technology! 😄 I don't think we'll get iOS 60 anytime soon, but who knows? Maybe in the next century! 😂😂 But currently, we are talking about the iOS 18 update, and it brings a bunch of amazing changes. Enjoy reading! 📱🚀
I have a question for iPhone 7 users
And 7 Plus, 6S, and 6S Plus
Is Apple still releasing updates from iOS 15?
Because I remember I had an iPhone 7 Plus
And update it 15 points 8 points 2
Did Apple continue and fall? 15 points 8 points 3
And 15 points 8 points 4
And 15 points 8 points 5
Or did Apple stop?☺️
Hello world of iOS and technology! 😊 As for updates for the iPhone 15.3.5, 15.8.3 Plus, 15.8.4s, and 15.8.5s Plus, Apple has stopped providing updates for these devices after iOS XNUMX. Therefore, any new updates such as iOS XNUMX, XNUMX, or XNUMX will not be provided to these devices, as part of Apple's usual policy of supporting devices for limited periods of time. 😅📱
After updating to beta 3, and if I want to go back to iOS 17, should I lose the data and do a restoration of the backup?
Another question: If I updated to Beta 3 and continued with it until the latest update came out in the month of 9, is it normal to update at that time without losing my data?
Hello Ali Ali 🙋♂️, If you downgrade from iOS 18 Beta 3 to iOS 17, you will lose the data that was created during the period of your use of the beta. When you perform the restore process for the backup, the data will be restored up to the last backup you created on iOS 17.
As for your second question, if you continue to use iOS 18 Beta 3 until the final update is released in September, you can update your device directly without losing any data.
Just remember that this information is not final and may be subject to change with future updates from Apple. 📱🍏
I mean, Siri's stupidity is unparalleled
How can you know if we are close to the official release of the iOS 17 update
It's very simple. Go to Settings, then General, then About, then iOS Version
Look at the last letter of the version number
If the letter is d, this means there is a fourth beta update and there is a fifth beta update until we reach the letter a. When we reach the letter a, here we are close to the version called RC, which is semi-official.
When you download this version, you are here in the official version before everyone else
Hello, world of iOS and technology 😊. Thank you for the valuable addition you provided. Indeed, the method of determining when we are close to the official release through the letters in the version number is a good and effective method. Follow us for more information and updates about Apple 🍏.
As usual, Apple does not forget iOS 1
Released update 17.6 betaXNUMX
There is nothing new in the update, just the stability of the 17 system.
Hello world of iOS and technology! 🍏 Indeed, Apple does not always forget to support older versions such as iOS 17. It even launched the 17.6 Beta 3 update to ensure the stability of the system. But as you know, the biggest focus right now is on iOS 18 and all the new features it brings. Don't forget to keep your device updated to get the best of the Apple world! 🚀📱
In all the news, you highlight a lot of the features of dark mode and icon coloring, while the update contains much more and more important than that.
Dear Issa, of course the iOS 18 update is packed with a lot of cool and funky features! 🚀But, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So, we highlight what appears to us most attractive and exciting. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. 🙏🍏
Unfortunately, in terms of battery life, after the third beta of System 18, it began to decline faster than it did after the first and second beta. We hope that things will improve in the upcoming updates.
Hello Fares Al-Janabi 🙋♂️. Yes, you may encounter some issues such as faster battery consumption in beta versions because they are not fully stable. We expect Apple to solve this issue in upcoming updates. We always recommend that you back up your data before installing any beta update. Thank you for noticing and waiting for your patience 🍏💪.
Hi
I am trying to install this version, Beta 3, but unfortunately in the middle of the download it stops and a message appears that there is an error in the download.
Hello Naji 🙋♂️, Unfortunately, this problem may be related to your internet connection or the available space on your device. Try restarting the device and make sure there is enough space for the update, then try again. If the issue persists, it may be better to wait until the update becomes available via General Settings. And always don't forget to take backups of your data before installation! 😊📱💾
Dark mode in apps! What's new is that it forces third-party applications into this mode without even the developer supporting this feature!
Hello MuhammadJassem, 🍏 In fact, dark mode in iOS 18 is considered a major development, as application icons on the home screen are automatically converted to dark mode. Apple uses artificial intelligence technology to analyze colors and change them to suit this situation. So, even if the developer doesn't support this feature, the apps will appear properly. 🌚📱💡
I did the update to iOS 18 beta, beta one, two, and beta three. The iOS 18 update is mostly for iPhone 15 and later, but from 14 and below, there is nothing important except the lock screen, changing the colors of the icons, and distributing the settings very well in the form of groups. This is all in the first beta, as for the second and third betas. These are bug fixes from the first beta, and there is no improvement in Siri or the keyboard, and there is nothing important except for the dark icons and changing them according to the light key. Note that my phone is 13 Pro Max.
Hello Fares Al-Janabi 😊, Thank you for your detailed evaluation of the beta updates. I think each of us will have a slightly different experience depending on our personal usage and expectations. Let's not forget that in the beta phase, Apple's goal is to improve performance and fix bugs before the official release. Of course, this can be frustrating if the features you're interested in haven't improved yet, but we always hope for future changes 🙏🍎.
iPhone Xs Max accepts the update or not?
Update accepted
I mean, what month do you mean fall?
month 9

I use my phone to browse, listen to audio programmes, write and record audio, and sometimes I take pictures and videos with it...
Is it safe for me to install the trial version?
Hello Islam 🙋♂️, trial versions in general contain some technical problems and errors, so you may encounter some problems while using the phone for your usual purposes. So, if you use your phone for important life matters, I advise you to wait until the official version of the update is released. But if you have a secondary device, you can try the trial version on it. Always make sure to take a backup of your data before installing! 😊👍📱
After the update, WhatsApp does not open on computers
Hello Hisham 🙋♂️, The problem of WhatsApp not opening on the computer after the update may be related to the settings or some technical problems. Try updating your web browser, and confirm that your computer is connected to the Internet. If the problem persists, you may need to reinstall WhatsApp Web. 😊👍🏼
