iOS 18.5 Beta Update Now Available For iPhone Users: What Features You Get

Apple released the iOS 18.4.1 version to fix some major security issues earlier and now we are finally seeing the iOS 18.5 beta update rollout for those who have signed up for the iOS beta program. 

The new iOS 18 update should be out by early May giving people and developers enough time to work out the issue before the public version is ready. This should also be the last iOS 18 update from the company as it builds the base for the iOS 19 version that will be announced at the WWDC 2025 in June this year.

iOS 18.5 Beta Update for iPhones: What It Offers 

The iOS 18.5 beta update seems pretty straight forward with Apple mostly focused on making the iOS 18 version stable and getting rid of any major issues faced by iPhone users. Most of the improvements are on the performance side, and if you were hoping for more AI goodies from Apple, you will have to wait for the iOS 19 update later this year. 

Having said that, it is not like the company has left it available without new features. You can customise the look of the Apple Mail app by letting you hide the profile photos of the contacts within the Settings. In addition to this, you will see the AppleCare and Warranty section looking slightly different with a cleaner banner. 

Going by the iOS 18.5 beta log, it is clear that Apple is setting the big stage for the WWDC 2025 keynote to showcase iOS 19 and hopefully wow the audience with some nifty and useful AI upgrades.
