Apple has launched iOS 18 Beta 3; here's all you need to know

Apple began its third beta-verse developer from iOS 18, brought several new tips and many errors. Designed for iPhone users, which are recorded as developers, the last update adds greater support for operators for RCS messages, modifications to the appendix to the photos, Emoji keyboard settings and New visual effects for the flashlight. First of all, the RCS messaging is still on the list. The long -awaited function that Apple began to rotate using iOS 18 beta 2. Thanks to the support of RCS (rich communication service), iPhone users can read and send a friend message of Android, high -level, high -level, high -level rescue photos, photos, and videos, such as cool emoticons. In iOS 18 Beta 2, RCS support was limited to Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile in the US, but Beta 3 will expand support to more providers. According to 9to5Mac, this includes Videotron, Telus Mobility, and Bell in Canada, as well as carriers like Telefonica in Spain, SFR in France, and O2 in Germany.

Next on the list is the Photos app. During the beta testing period of iOS 18, the new version of the app raised concerns among some beta testers who did not approve of the new interface. However, the changes in Beta 3 show that Apple isn't finished tweaking the app yet.

With the latest update, the handy Select button is still visible, making it easier to perform commands on multiple photos. You can now also zoom in and out of your photos. Like other beta testers, I was concerned about the new look and layout of the Photos app, so I hope Apple continues to refine it. The Emoji keyboard is another feature that Apple has improved in BETA 3. When choosing this keyboard in the messages application, the icons of emoji are a little larger. This is a welcome change for me as I sometimes struggle to see the finer details of emoji I want to use in text.

Another tweak in beta 3 is the home screen and lock screen wallpaper. If you choose one of the new iOS 18 wallpaper images, the colors change throughout the day. You can start by selecting a specific color or tone, then watch it gradually evolve over time. Wallpaper seems like a trivial feature, but considering how often you look at your phone screen, the right visuals can make a difference. The flashlight is another seemingly minor feature, but how often do you use it when you don't have a real flashlight? In the previous iOS 18 developer beta, Apple tweaked Flashlight to give iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro owners the ability to change the brightness and adjust the beam width. In iOS 18 Beta 3, Flashlight now displays a curved line indicating the beam width and brightness, as well as the maximum intensity.
