Apple has released the latest iOS update, iOS 18.4, on Monday, March 31, sooner than expected. This new software brings several features to iPhones from the iPhone Xs series onwards, including the newly released iPhone 16e.
iOS 18.4 supports the Apple Intelligence features for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 16 models. These updates include Priority Notifications, which helps users focus on important messages, a new style in Image Playground, and enhanced support for eight more languages.
The update also brings new emojis, including one with bags under their eyes, as well as improvements to the Photos app, Safari, and Apple Fitness+. Other features include tweaks to the News+ service, a new widget for Podcasts, and the ability to pause an app download in the App Store.
Apple had previously expected the release date to be in April, but it has now confirmed that iOS 18.4 will arrive sooner. The update is available on all compatible iPhone models from the iPhone Xs series onwards. To install the update, users can go to Settings > General > Software Update and select Download and Install.
The new software download size is approximately 3.76GB, and installation typically takes around 10 minutes. With this update, Apple aims to provide a smoother and more user-friendly experience for iPhone users.
