iPhone iOS 18.4 Update

Apple’s Big Update for iPhones and iPads 

As some of you may already know Apple has just released last week its new update iOS 18.4 for iPhones and iPads. 

For those of you who like the fun part of having an iPhone, Apple has introduced 8 new emojis for you to play with.  These emojis can be used in expanding your thoughts even more when used in many different apps on your phone.  The emojis include bags under eyes, fingerprint, leafless tree, a splatter, harp, root vegetable, a shovel, and a flag.   

There is yet another addition you can start playing with and that is in Image Playground.  The new addition to Image Playground is Sketch styles.  This is an Apple Intelligence required app.   This should bring out the artistic side in you if you have an iPhone 15 Pro or better to access all this fun!  Turn your photos into an animated look. 

One of the more interesting things I have discovered with this release is the Ambient Music.  This will play soft sounds to help fill in the empty space wherever you may be.  This could be a great way to help center one’s self in stressful situations or when you want to take a timeout and relax! 

Apple CarPlay home screen has some nice new features.  One of which is a much-needed row to show even more apps to make driving and selecting a little safer. 

If you’re into food and happen to have the Apple News app you will find thousands of recipes, healthy eating tips, and a little help in the kitchen for your reading pleasure. 

There are many more features that have been packed into this update but I want to stress that this update has many bug fixes and the all-important security updates.

For those who know me that is a main priority when using any kind of device.  We are living in a time where our way of life is under attack and that way of life starts with our tech that we use and rely on every day. 

Many of you already know of the problems we face with scams and the theft that it is associated with.  These security updates are a must for those who use our devices for business or personal tasks.  Please take this seriously. 

This newsletter is getting a little long so I will include the updates for you Mac users and its new update 15.4 so stay tuned.

If you would like more information concerning the iOS 18.4 update let me know.  I can lead you in the right direction to get all the goodies associated with this large update.
