iOS 18.5: Screen time will help parents in the future

It is a small change in the iPhone operating system, but the parents should please: With iOS 18.5, the adults receive a notification when using the screen time if the settings on a child’s device were opened up by code. If the children have found the right code, the legal guardians will quickly be behind it if the offspring will set up its app limits and other limits at their own discretion.

The next major update version for the iPhone will be expected for the coming week after Apple has recently published the release candidate – the finished version that will be subjected to a last test before publication. The screen expansion should also flow into MacOS 15.5, which is expected in parallel.

Apple turns on small adjustment screws

Unlike iOS 18.4, which the Apple Intelligence brought to the EU, the 18.5 is more likely to be shot on small adjustment screws. According to the release notes published, users will in future be able to display and hide the contact photos in the inbox in the mail app. The grouping after senders can also be parked in the future.

For the recent pride bracelet for the Apple Watch, a corresponding background image joins-following the tradition-that is also delivered to all users with the operating system update. Customers who have booked AppleCare+ should receive easier access to information on this in the settings app.

New additional satellite support

One or the other could confuse the support of satellite services, which is suddenly introduced back to iPhone 13 with the update. However, this is by no means the satellite conference around emergency calls that Apple introduced hardware with the iPhone 14, but rather the support of classic mobile radio frequencies that are operated using satellites near the earth. In this way, satellite network operators and mobile operators want to cover unspoken areas in the United States.
