iOS 18.4 Features: What’s new in the next big update
Apple has just launched the first iOS 18.4 beta to the public with plenty of new features for iPhone users. Here’s what’s coming in April.
Priority Notifications: Off by default, you can go to Settings ⇾ Notifications ⇾ Prioritize Notifications to make your most important alerts feature prominently on your Lock Screen.
Image Playground upgrade: Apple’s AI image creation tool now supports a third style to choose from: Sketch joins the existing Animation and Illustration options.

New supported languages: Until now, Apple Intelligence has only been supported in English, but now there are 10 new language options to choose from.
AI in the EU: Users in the EU previously couldn’t use Apple Intelligence on any device except the Mac, but now the full AI feature set is available on iPhones and iPads too.
Inside the News app, News+ subscribers can access a dedicated Food hub for finding “tens of thousands” of recipes. There are also stories on restaurants and other food-related news. Recipes themselves are presented in a beautiful new interface that makes it easy to follow along.

If you regularly use recipes from the web, you know how nice a change this will be. A recipe interface that’s free from the clutter of intrusive ads is huge. There’s also a nice device integration that lets you start a timer with just a tap in the recipe itself.
The quick settings menu Apple calls the Control Centre is getting musical. When iOS 18.4 rolls out in April, the company is adding ambient music based on four Apple Music playlists. There’s Chill, Productivity, Sleep and Wellbeing.
If you have a large CarPlay-enabled screen in your car, you’ll be able to add a third row of applications, meaning less swiping side to side to find the apps of your choice.
