Apple has launched the second beta of iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 for developers, introducing enhancements to Apple News, Priority Notifications, and Image Playground, as well as adding new languages to Apple Intelligence, such as Portuguese (Brazil).
iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 Beta 2: What are the differences?
“Priority Notifications” can now be set up by app, as stated by Apple. These notifications are featured in a distinct section on the lock screen to easily recognize crucial details.
The latest update introduces an “Apple News + Food” category for Apple News + users, and it also incorporates the “Sketch” aesthetic to Image Playground, enabling users to edit images to appear hand-drawn.
The second beta build continues to include the “Vision Pro” app on the iPhone, assisting users in locating and acquiring content within Vision Pro. It offers specific categories for immersive videos, 3D movies, and other features, as well as the ability to download apps directly to the headset.
The “E-mail Authentication” tool was brought to iPad along with a new function named “Environment Music,” which plays calming tunes directly within the Control Center.
Apple Intelligence is now offered in additional languages such as French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (simplified), in addition to English available for Singapore and India.
You can now pause downloads from the update list in the App Store app instead of having to do it from the app’s home screen icon. Additionally, there is now an option in the “Recently Deleted” section of the Photos app to delete or recover all photos at once.
Apple paused the iOS update 18.4 Beta 1 on multiple devices in February, primarily targeting the iPhone 12 series. The system is now available for download with the release of the second version, which also includes support for the iPhone 16e.
When will iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 come out?
The final version of iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 is expected to be launched for compatible iPhones and iPads in early April.
