Ever since Apple released iOS 18. 3 to the public at the end of January, we’ve been waiting for the announcement of the first beta version of iOS 18. 4, which is expected to bring vital updates to Siri and other Apple intelligence features. The report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests that the update will be “very soon” for developers.
Specifically, Gurman suggests that the first beta version of iOS 18. 4 will be released to developers between the “middle of next week and the beginning of the following week. “Last year, iOS 17. 4 beta 1 released on January 25. However, the first beta edition, the first beta edition of iOS 16. 4 released on February 16.
With iOS 18. 4, Apple is expected to make long-awaited updates to Siri on Apple’s intelligence-enabled devices. These come with an understanding of non-public context, screen awareness, and the ability to control apps. The update is also expected to be expected as well. To load precedence notifications, it automatically highlights express notifications that employ AI.
In addition, Apple has already shown that it will expand Apple’s intelligence to more languages for the first time with iOS 18. 4. Among the new languages will be Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
It is also very likely that iOS 18. 4 will upload new emoji, which have already been revealed through the Unicode consortium. The new emojis come with a fingerprint, a face with bags under the eyes, a harp, root vegetables, a leafless tree, splashes, and a shovel.
Of course, we’ll keep you updated when Apple releases iOS 18. 4 beta 1. In the meantime, let us know in the comment segment under which the new feature is looking the maximum to try.
