Apple has recently issued a crucial update for iOS 18, emphasizing the importance of installing the latest version for bug fixes and security enhancements. The update specifically addresses an issue in the Photos app on iPhones that was preventing memory movies from being shared.
To ensure your device is up-to-date, navigate to Settings, select General, and tap Software Update to install iOS 18.6. Keep in mind that this update is a large 1GB file, so it is advisable to download it over Wi-Fi or with an unlimited data plan.
After downloading the update, your device will require a restart, so it’s recommended to initiate the installation when you are not expecting urgent phone calls or messages. Meanwhile, Apple has also announced the launch of the Public Beta program for iOS 26, allowing users to test new features before the official release in the fall.
The upcoming iOS 26 introduces a fresh design concept called Liquid Glass and enhances the lock screen with more interactive elements. Noteworthy features include Call Screening to block unknown numbers and real-time translation of calls and texts for frequent travelers.
For those interested in participating in shaping Apple software, the Beta Software Programme offers early access to pre-release versions for feedback. Explore the beta version on the Apple website to experience the latest innovations and contribute to refining upcoming releases.
