Since Apple launched IOS 18 update To the general public on September 16, there are some cool features that are coming to us that Apple hasn't announced before, including performing calculations directly in MessagesThere is no longer a need to switch between the Messages and Calculator apps in the iOS 18 update. This update brings many new features, such as more ways to customize the home screen and lock screen, in addition to the RCS messaging service, and other great features that we wrote about. You can follow the hashtag iOS 18In this article, we learn how to perform mathematical operations directly in messages.
Before iOS 18, if you wanted to calculate something someone sent you via Messages, you had to use the Calculator app or Spotlight search and then head back to Messages. But with iOS 18, it's easier than ever. You can now perform multi-step calculations in Messages, as well as convert currencies and temperatures, without having to switch between apps.
How to solve math problems in the Messages app
To solve a math equation in Messages, type the problem in the text field, add an equals sign (=), and the result will appear in the predictive text field above the keyboard. Tap the solution to add it to your message.
The Messages app can solve simple equations, like “2+2=…,” simply by typing them into a text field.
The messaging app can also handle advanced mathematical operations that go beyond these basic problems. In addition to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, the app can handle more complex mathematical operations, including trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, and tan.
To use this feature, simply type the equation into the message field, followed by an equal sign =. For example, you can type “sin(30)=” to calculate the sine of 30 degrees. No matter how complex the calculation is, always remember to add an equal sign (=) at the end to activate the calculation and display the result. This feature turns the Messages app into a powerful and convenient calculation tool for a wide range of mathematical operations.
How to convert values in the Messages app
Converting values in the Messages app works similarly to solving math problems. Type the value in the text box with the appropriate value sign, such as F for degrees Fahrenheit or lbs for pounds, then type an equals sign =, and the predictive text field above the keyboard will display the conversion.
If you don't specify what to convert to, predictive text will choose what to convert to. And don't worry, it won't try to convert pounds to minutes. Messages will offer conversions to other similar units, so degrees Fahrenheit will convert to degrees Celsius and pounds to kilograms.
You can choose what you want to convert to by typing something like “60hr to min=” and the Messages app will display the conversion in the predictive text field, which is 3,900 minutes. With these simple methods you can deduce the result for a problem you simply type.

Thanks for the valuable information, I would like to add that the calculations are built into the system and can be used in almost all applications, not just the messaging application.
sin(30)=-XNUMX
Hello Mansour Al Fayez 🙋♂️, I think you are like me and love to wander through the corridors of iOS and discover everything new! True, mathematical operations are available in all applications, not just in the Messages application. But it seems that there is a slight error in your calculation, the sine of 30 degrees is equal to 0.5 and not -0.988. Don't worry, even smart devices make mistakes sometimes 😅!
The account works with all versions of iOS 18 and not specific iPhones.
Hi Amer Naif 🙋♂️, Calculations work with all devices that support the iOS 18 update, so there is no specific list of devices. Any device that can upgrade to iOS 18 will enjoy this great feature. Just make sure your device is up to date and you will be able to perform calculations smoothly in the Messages app! 📱💬🧮😉
After downloading iOS 18.1 beta 5, is it possible to activate Apple's artificial intelligence in the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and if it is possible, how to do it?
Hello Fares Al-Janabi 🙋♂️, Apple's artificial intelligence can definitely be activated in the iPhone 13 Pro Max after downloading iOS 18.1 beta 5. You can activate it by going to "Settings" then "Siri and Search" and turning on "Listen for 'Hey Siri'". Simply put, Siri is a type of artificial intelligence! 😎📲
