iOS 18 Tidbits: Enhanced Flashlight Controls, Control Center Edit Mode, and More
What changes have been made to the Settings app interface in the iOS 18 beta?
In the iOS 18 beta, Apple has made several changes to the Settings app interface to improve organization and navigation. The settings for individual apps installed on your iPhone have been moved to a separate screen. Instead of scrolling down to access these settings, you now tap "Apps" at the bottom of the menu to access a separate searchable list. This change allows for a cleaner layout and easier navigation within the Settings app. Additionally, the search functionality within the Settings app has been improved, making it easier to find specific settings and options. These updates aim to provide a more consistent experience across iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15.

What new feature has been added to the flashlight controls in iOS 18?
iOS 18 brings an enhancement to the flashlight controls. Now, turning on the flashlight via the Lock Screen or Control Center presents a small interface that allows you to adjust the flood of light from the LED. This means you can exercise granular control over both the intensity of the light and the breadth of illumination.
