While iOS 18 is slated to officially launch later this year, the release of the developer beta has given us a chance to try out some of the new features, including Apple Intelligence. The number of tweaks Apple has added to the next big update appears to be countless, so we’ve narrowed it down to the most useful features.

Disclaimer: Beta software is for testing purposes and users should expect to run into issues. To mitigate more serious problems, such as potential loss of data, you should back your phone up before installing iOS 18 beta.
