iOS 18.4 - 10 Things You DIDN'T KNOW Your iPhone CAN DO !

0:00 hey what's going on everyone this is AR VI back with another video and today we're talking about IOS 18.4 as you probably know we're just days away from the release of iOS 18.4 to the public actually Apple has just released the second RC version of iOS 18.4 and most likely this beginning of the week we will have IOS 18.4 released to the public now this is a big update with a ton of new features and changes there are more than 60 new features and changes added to iOS 18 with 18.4 so in today's video we're going to take a look at some of those and I will show you guys some of the new features that you probably didn't know about and some new things that your iPhone can do that you probably didn't know about and we're

0:46 starting with the photos app we actually have quite a lot of really important changes here with the photos app now first of all let's head on here and take a look at the utilities here so we have here two different albums recently viewed and we also have recently shared these albums will show at the top of your photos app you will see there the photos that have recently been shared with you and also the photos that you have recently viewed on your photos app but if you want to hide these albums now you will be able to do that simply head onto your settings go to apps and then go to photos and then right here you have Show recently viewed and shared you can just switch this off and now you will have those two albums removed removed from your photos app now what's

1:32 really important a great new feature or fix or whatever you want to call it that Apple has added on iOS 18.4 and it has to do with hidden photos now the hidden photos on your iPhone are hidden but they're available to import to a computer to a Mac or PC and that's really really bad now what Apple has done with iOS 18.4 is that if you have hidden photos and you head onto your settings app you go to settings go to apps and then go to photos if you have enabled use face ID then the photos that you have on the hidden album are actually not available for import so those won't be available to import a PC or a Mac and that's a great great fix

2:17 that Apple has added to iOS 18.4 now here's another change for the utilities and the media Types on the photos app so you know on the photos app with iOS 18 we have these like the biggest sections there the utilities and the media types now with iOS 18.4 you can actually reorder this you couldn't do this before you simply tap the edit button and now you can just pick any of the albums here and reorder them any way you like of course there are things you will use more frequently you want to have them on the first page at the top there so now you can actually do that now what's really cool is you will also have a reset button which will allow you to reset this and if you just want to go back to their default you simply tap the

3:03 reset button and it will reorder them to their default now when it comes to reordering and sorting things when you go to your albums if you tap right there on the three dots now you will have a new option to sort by date modified so you will have all the albums right here you also have the new UI here for the list and the key fold of you but instead of sorting just by name or by custom order you will now be able to also sort your albums based on the date when they have last been modified and here's another really useful change when you go to the passwords app when you go to your codes if you have any codes saved here you will now see that Circle right there you can see that green indicator right there that indicates the time left for

3:50 those codes until it will generate new codes so once that's actually complete you will notice that it will start from the beginning it will show you all new codes so that's very very useful now it shows right there on the main page and it also shows within the codes if you go to see the details of any code it will show that specific like Circle right there which will fill up green and then it will reset once it has reseted all the codes now with iOS 18.4 Apple has added some pretty cool and very useful toggles to the control sender which you can also use on your lock screen I'm talking here about about Apple's visual intelligence and also the ability to have Siri talk to Siri and also type to

4:37 Ser right here on the loog screen so all you have to do here just find Apple intelligence and Siri you can choose between any of the three talk to Seri type to Ser or visual intelligence once you have added them of course you can have both two of them if you want to on each one on each side now I can just go ahead and talk or type the sir simply by pressing this button on the lock screen and there's also another change for the control center or the lock screen as well it depends where you have your flashlight if you tap right here to invoke the flashlight I don't know if you notice this but the animation here and this like window where it shows a flashlight is actually much much bigger now with iOS 18.4 now this will make it

5:24 a lot easier for most people to actually just adjust the flashlight of their devic is actually much much better and with iOS 18.4 you also get a new Bluetooth indicator on the dynamic Island now the dynamic island has actually been improved a lot with iOS 18.4 they finally have fixed the Privacy dots they just show like besides the dynamic Island right there they don't mess up the dynamic Island and the animations are much much smoother but it also shows now when you're playing any media to a Bluetooth device you will will have that little Bluetooth icon right there with a speaker which in my opinion is an amazing touch now as you might know Apple has added new tuggles for ambient music on the control center

6:12 so when you go to add one of the tuggles here you will have ambient music you will have four of them you can actually tap right here to switch to play to any of the playlists that they have pre- addded or you can even choose from the library if you're using Apple music on your device now what's really cool with this is that once you start playing any of these you can actually go to the app even though there's no icon for this app and you cannot find it on the app library or anywhere you can actually tap right here and once you tap on the album art it will open the app now you can find it right here on the dynamic Island if we go to like the app switcher like that it's appears there but once you're out it's gone but anytime you want to

6:57 just like tap right there on the dynamic Island it will show the ambient music app and right here we'll have the controls of course you can scroll here you can just move to another sound you can turn up or down the volume with the slider you can choose to play and in any other device directly from here so much much easier for you to actually manage your ambient music from this interface and last but not least we're moving to the phone app now with the phone app on iOS 18.4 we have a smaller change here that I really like so when you have two phone lines on your device you have two different numbers you will get these two arrows right there and then like an basical an icon that shows you in which line you're currently at but if you tap those it will show you this menu and you

7:44 can switch between the first and the second line now this used to be a feature here before but now we have those like arrows that indicate that there is a menu previously it just had this like icon right there many people didn't even know that there is a menu on that so now you just tap right here and you can quickly switch between your lines before making a phone call so that's pretty much it for this video Guys these are some amazing new features coming to iOS 18.4 that you probably didn't know about now 18.4 is coming out this upcoming week Apple has said that it will be available in April and in my opinion April first will be the most likely day that Apple will actually release iOS 18.4 to the public because

8:30 previously we had point4 updates released on a Tuesday it should happen this year as well last year actually iOS 17.4 was released on a Tuesday so I would expect this year to be the same as well so that's basically it hope you guys enjoyed the video smash that like button if you did and of course subscribe for more iOS 18.4 videos and I will see you on the next one
