iOS 18 Update: Bug Fixes and New Features for iPhone and iPad Owners

Apple has finally released the first update for iOS 18, which addresses some pesky bugs and allows owners of the latest iPads to download the new operating system without any issues.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

The iOS 18.0.1 and iPadOS 18.0.1 updates are now available for compatible devices. iPhone and iPad owners can easily download and install the update by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

One of the primary fixes includes a solution for iPhone 16 users who have been experiencing random microphone recordings in the Messages app. Additionally, the update addresses a password issue where the VoiceOver accessibility feature would read passwords out loud for everyone to hear.

iPadOS 18: What’s New?

For owners of the iPad Pro M4, this update means they can finally download the new iPadOS software without worrying about bricking their expensive tablets. The iPad Pro M4 is the top-of-the-line iPad currently available.

New Features in iPadOS 18

iPadOS 18 includes a range of new features, including a customizable homescreen that allows icons to be placed anywhere. The update also introduces a redesigned Control Centre and an iPad-centric Calculator app that boasts extra features for completing complex equations and supports the Apple Pencil.

A Brief History of iPadOS 18

In September, Apple pulled the iPadOS 18 update due to an issue that left some users unable to turn on their iPads. The problem only affected the new M4 models released earlier this year. One iPad user wrote about their experience: “I took mine into the Genius Bar tonight only to have it confirmed that the iPad is well and truly dead. The guy said that he had never seen it before but said it couldn’t possibly be the update. If only he knew that as he was telling me this that Apple [was] pulling the update from the M4 iPad Pros.”

Get Ready to Experience iPadOS 18

Hopefully, those affected by the issue have had their problems resolved. For everyone else, it’s now time to download iPadOS 18 and experience the new features. With this update, you can enjoy a more personalized and productive iPad experience.
