Currently with iOS 17 it is possible to personalize the home screen with shortcuts and smart widgets, but this new feature of iOS 18 takes customization of the iPhone screen even further.

RCS support in messages

The Messages application will be based on the RCS protocol

The RCS messaging protocol offers more advanced technology than the traditional SMS protocol and with iOS 18 it will arrive on iPhone.

Rich Communication Services, or RCS, is a communications protocol developed by the GSM Association with the aim of improving traditional text messages. This system will bring great improvements in messaging between iPhone and Android with audio messages, photographs and videos with higher resolution, playback indicators and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Apple announced in November 2023 that it would adopt the RCS protocol in its Messages app, ensuring that this technology will offer a better interoperability experience for your users. Although they did not want to give a release date, most likely it will arrive with iOS 18.

What’s new for Apple Maps

Finally, another of the new features of iOS 18 that we are aware of concerns the inclusion of two functions for Apple Maps

We believe that Apple will include personalized directions in Apple Maps so that iPhone users will have the ability to modify and personalize your travel itinerary. Currently, Apple Maps allows you to choose between different routes available by default, but this new feature will offer the possibility of changing each point along the way.

Finally, Apple Maps could integrate topographic maps with more details related to terrain elevation, trails, contour lines and other points of interest in nature. This function dedicated to hiking was already present on Apple Watch since watchOS 10 and will now also be present in iOS 18.
