Everything New in iOS 18.4 Beta 1

[R4O8]

Forget this ‘AI Notification’ rubbish, just let me receive a maximum of ONE notification per app until I view/action it. Like Android has allowed for countless years now. It’s not that difficult!

Settings > Notifications > [App name] > Notification Grouping > By App

idk if that's exactly what you want but worth giving it a shot. a bit tedious if you want to do this for a lot of apps though.

 

[Hails09]

Keen to get confirmation of this too please

Well it’s working for me on Vodafone uk

Yes, please. Have a third-party weather app that loves notifications. Yes it's February in the Northern Hemisphere; No I don't need a screen full of notifications to know it'll be cooler out by morning...

I mean, the Apple News stuff is an app update.
The Ambient Music is nice though. I already have an app for that but it's a nice feature.

Have not found the Apple Vision Pro app on my phone or iPad. Also, the Spatial Gallery app isn’t showing up on my AVP. Nor are these apps showing up in the App Stores for me. Anyone have info on how to get these?

 

[Janschi]

Also new: it works in the EU. Obviously only in the supported languages.

German is not supported yet

 

[iPhoneFan5349]

Yep, been there for years.
Apple employees clearly use android at home. I can’t otherwise explain how this wasn’t fixed after 25 minutes.

Yes, they don’t use an iPhone. That’s why it lacks basic features the competition has had for years.

Apple has added two new Siri voices for Italian users, increasing the total from two to four.

 

[JungleNYC]

Nice! I welcome all this stuff. The ambient music is super cool.

Does anyone know when Siri will be updated to read emails and webpages better?

 

[iMattPro]

Making an iOS app to make using the Vision Pro easier speaks volumes about Apple's era of "spatial computing"

 

[novagamer]

As a user, how can you tell when auto reboot has been disabled? Adding the functionality seems like an attack vector so it should be visible to the user in case of malware.

There is a new “Scan Code” QR Control Centre toggle which opens a new app, “Code Scanner”. This app instantly grabs QR codes and loads the website in-app Safari

Two new Australian voices for Siri? That’s all I needed to know. Sign me up.

Yes - they ruined the old ones in 18.2 or 18.3. Has anyone posted a video of the new voices yet - I’m thinking about upgrading if they are great.

 

[wasabah]

I just updated but I don’t see the “Prioritize Notifications option. I’m in the US on an iPhone 15pro max.

I have the same issue. Also in the default apps setting for translation I only see Apples translate. Do other apps like google translate and DeepL first need an update to be visible?

 

[artjart]

what even this update is? are they serious? 10 years ago they would be ashamed to even call it 18.3.2. Everything so far is barely 18.0.4 - Podcast tweaks? New playground style? New emojis? Do they NOT realize they sold the iPhone 16 with the only slogan "Hello Apple Intelligence"? This is more like "Say hello to new icons and pre-installed chatGPT"?

Mate! And I hope they use proper Aussie lingo!

And instead of being called Siri, it will be “mate”

“Hey, mate? Can you take me to the nearest grog shop?”

“No worries, mate. Just drive the past the servo, chuck a u-ie at the lights, and there’ll be a bottleo right in frontaya.”

 

[Parowdy]

Nice! I welcome all this stuff. The ambient music is super cool.

Yes we all know

 

[Radeon85]

Nice to see an extra row of icons for CarPlay.

 

[timborama]

And…photos still sucks.

 

[jln9899]

Vacuum for HomeKit is now supported! SwitchBot and (I think Roomba?) confirmed the rollout support for 18.4.

I have SwitchBot so I’m gonna head home from work soon to finally add it!

 

[Pro_the_legend]

Soooo… another update with a whole lot of nothing.

New Apple Intelligence Languages

French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (simplified), along with localized English for Singapore and India.

French (Canada) works. French (France) is not working.

French (Canada) works. French (France) is not working.

It does work on my device

 

[einsteinbqat]

It does work on my device

Not for me.

Setting my Mac and Siri to fr-FR won't activate AI. Setting my Mac and Siri to fr-CA then AI downloads on the system. Tried with my MBA and Studio.

Will try on my iPad. Cannot have AI on my iPhone.

Mine is an iPhone 16 pro max (for reference). I cannot update my Mac in beta as this is my work device.
