The iOS 18 official version has been pushed out, earlier some iPhone users have experienced some new features in the beta version. For example, call recording.
In fact, after updating my phone to iOS 18, I found a few details of the changes, quite interesting. A new feature called “Vehicle Motion Alerts” has been added to help reduce motion sickness for iPhone users who ride in cars, which can help alleviate motion sickness.
Another example is the addition of the App Lock function, similar to the Android App with a password lock setting.
From an experiential perspective, this is a strong indication that iOS 18 is learning from Android, but it is also on the road of catering to the needs of users more intimate.
Let’s talk about the steps to set up passcode lock on iPhone apps:
Update iPhone to iOS 18, choose any app, long press it will show “Face ID Required”.
Tap this option, it will pop up a system prompt, this app will need face ID or password to unlock to open or display content in other apps.
The custom shortcuts on the lock screen interface are also easy to change. The shortcuts on the left and right sides used to be fixed, but now you can change them to different apps according to your preference, which can improve the efficiency of using the device.
One of the improvements I found reassuring was the “App Lock” feature, which prevents people from peeking at apps I don’t want to show them, even if I lend my phone to them, and allows me to open such apps only after Face ID or password authentication.
The Photos app has also been significantly optimized, such as adding a Featured Collection feature that sorts photos by topic, and filtering out screenshots when displaying photos to make it easier to organize and find them. This change makes reviewing my travel photos much easier and more enjoyable.
App content won’t show up in the notification preview post-focus when password lock is turned on.
It’s easy to see that Apple has been consistent in this area of user privacy protection. In addition, the App can also be hidden and opened with Face ID.
Combined with the experience of using it, the new App password unlock function in iOS 18 is indeed similar to the hidden apps as well as app locks in Android phones.
At the end of the day, the new version of iOS still needs to dig into the details of the experience, it is recommended that users holding iPhone 13 and above models, rest assured that the update to iOS 18, these thoughtful small changes really enhance the experience of daily use.
