iOS 18 Beta 3: What’s New in Apple’s Latest Update

Apple recently released the third beta versions of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, packed with updates to various features like Dark Mode icons, improvements to the Photos app, and enhancements in emoji integration within Messages. 

These updates are part of Apple’s ongoing efforts to refine and improve user experience before the official launch of iOS 18. 

The new Dark Mode icons now include popular third-party apps such as Facebook and Telegram, adapting their icons to a darker color scheme automatically for better visibility in low-light environments. 

In the Photos app, users will find a new Select button on the main interface, making it easier to choose multiple images without needing to swipe down. 

Additionally, the Search button has been simplified with a blue highlight for better visibility. Apple has also streamlined emoji, Memoji, and stickers into a single interface within Messages, allowing users to access them easily through tiny icons at the bottom of the screen. 

These updates pave the way for Apple’s upcoming AI features like Genmoji and Image Playground, aiming to enhance user creativity and interaction. 

Overall, these changes reflect Apple’s commitment to improving usability and preparing for the integration of advanced technologies in iOS 18.
