Small tweaks and features that are designed to make everyday iPhone use more intuitive and tailored to your needs. In this guide, we go over the key settings worth adjusting to make the most of everything iOS 18 has to offer.
Adjust the load limit
iOS has long allowed limit the maximum charge of the iPhonethat is, we can prevent it from being charged to 100% so that the battery wear is less. Batteries suffer more when they are at 0% or 100%.
Previously we could only limit up to 80%, which was an insufficient charge for most iPhone users. But with iOS 18 this limit has changed and we can adjust it to 80, 85, 90 o 95%. Setting it to 90 or 95% can prevent the iPhone’s battery health from dropping as quickly.
Customize Control Center
The iOS 18 Control Center has been completely redesigned and is one of the first things you have to change to make it your own. You can place more buttons than ever before, you have different pages to organize it and make it much more useful than it has been before.
Change lock screen buttons
Another adjustment that arrives in iOS 18 and that allows you to change the flashlight and camera icons on the iPhone lock screen. Simply long press the screen to enter editing mode and select the buttons you prefer, you can even add access to apps. It was one of the most desired functions and it is finally available.
Hide distractions in Safari
This function is somewhat hidden, so it is very little known. Apple has added a feature to Safari that allows ocular different parts of a webfrom an ad to an image or a section that doesn’t interest you. And this can be very useful.
To do this, you must open a website in Safari, tap on the icon on the left of the search bar and then tap Hide distractions. Now touch on the screen what you want to hide and, when you finish, click on Ok.
Filter the content of Photos
The iOS 18 Photos app has undergone the biggest redesign in its history and there is a very interesting feature that allows you to filter the content you want to appear in the main photos. For example, you can filter so that screenshots do not appear among your photos. Simply swipe up, tap on the arrow iconand filter the content however you want.
Create voice shortcuts
iOS 18 includes a feature called voice shortcuts that can be very useful. A voice shortcut allows record a phrase so that, when you say it to the iPhone, it activates a certain task. Voice shortcuts are activated simply by saying them, you don’t have to press any buttons on the iPhone and they work even when it is locked.
You can create them by entering Settings > Accessibility > Voice shortcuts. You can create the phrase you want and configure what you want the iPhone to do.
Move icons wherever you want on the screen
It is, for sure, one of the most anticipated iOS 18 features and one of those that is worth using. Now you can place icons anywhere on the screenwithin a classic grid. For example, you can put the apps you use most at the bottom, or move them so as not to cover your wallpaper.
Avoid car sickness
If you get dizzy in the car, you have to activate this iPhone feature. Apple has managed to reduce the frames with a very interesting technique, points on the screen that move as the car turns, accelerates or brakes. This keeps our brain and eyes coordinated.
You can activate this function from Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Show motion indicators in vehicles. You also have a button in Control Center to quickly turn it on and off.
