iOS 18.2: What’s New, What’s Coming, and How to Get it on Your iPhone
Apple’s next big software update, iOS 18.2, is just around the corner, and some reports suggest that it could arrive as early as today. So, what can you expect from this massive upgrade? Let’s dive in and find out!
New Apple Intelligence Features
iOS 18.2 is set to roll out with several highly-anticipated Apple Intelligence features, including Image Playground, a new app that uses AI to create custom images based on your descriptions and prompts. If you have an iPhone 16 or iPhone 15 Pro/Max, this free software update will bring these innovative features to your device.
What Else is New in iOS 18.2?
Even if you don’t have an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, iOS 18.2 has a few tricks up its sleeve. You’ll be able to set new default apps and organize your emails in the Mail app like never before. These features are currently available for all iPhone users.
The Volume Slider is Back!
iOS 18.2 is also bringing back a feature that Apple removed with iOS 16: the ability to add a volume slider to your iPhone’s Lock Screen. This simple yet helpful feature allows you to see and adjust your music’s volume directly from your Lock Screen, making it easier to listen to your favorite tunes on-the-go.
How to Add the Volume Slider to Your iPhone’s Lock Screen
To bring back the volume slider to your iPhone’s Lock Screen, follow these easy steps:
- Go to Settings > Sounds and Haptics.
- Tap on "Ringer and Alerts."
- Toggle on "Show Volume Slider on Lock Screen."
And that’s it! You can now enjoy the convenience of having a volume slider on your iPhone’s Lock Screen once again.
As Apple rolls out iOS 18.2, it’s exciting to see what new features and tweaks are coming to our iPhones. With Apple Intelligence features, new default app settings, and the return of the volume slider, there’s never been a better time to upgrade. Stay tuned for more updates on Apple’s next big move!
