But today, it has been released to the public, offering this sight.

How to get the Apple’s iOS 18.1 Beta Version

2. Notification Summaries: These are summaries of notifications that are meant to limit the number of distractions.
3. Photo Cleanup Gestures: This offers users the convenience of managing their photo library with ease.
4. Writing Tools: Includes options for proofing, summarizing, and rewriting any given piece of text.
5. Redesigned Siri: Alongside Siri on iOS, users can now also use a new feature, typing, which unfortunately some may find hard to incorporate.
