- iOS 19 could make it easier to connect multiple devices to public wi-fi
- Before that, we hope that iOS 18.5 land in the next few days
- iOS 18.5 is a smaller update, but with some new features and adjustments
IOS 19 is likely to be an important update for the Apple smart phone operating system. We have already heard, for example, that it could include a revised interface and support for new integrations of AI such as Google Gemini, but now we are listening to a smaller but potentially very useful feature that could also be added.
According to Apple Mark Gurman observer, writing in his Bloomberg bulletin (through 9to5Mac), iOS 19 will eliminate part of the pain of joining public Wi-Fi networks.
If you have ever connected to public Wi-Fi, you will know that this often implies completing a web form, which is a minor inconvenience. But if you want to connect multiple devices, you must complete that form in all of them, which increases the level of inconveniences. However, with iOS 19, you may only have to fill it once.
According to Gurman, once the form completes on a device, that record will be synchronized with all its other Apple devices, which makes it a little faster to put them online.
Of course, as with any unnoticed feature, we would take this with a pinch of salt, but Gurman has an excellent Apple information history. We can find certainty if this function is prepared for its inclusion in June, since it is when iOS 19 will probably be announced, although the finished version of iOS 19 will probably not be deployed until September.
iOS 19 is not the next update
However, it does not have to wait for so much software, since IOS 18.5 is expected to be imminently launched.
There is still no confirmed date, but the IOS 18.5 RC (launch candidate) was implemented in Beta users on May 6, which based on the past means that we could see the version ending the next day or two.
This is not going to be a massive review of iOS, but contains some new features, including a new screen time function, which alerts parents if the screen time access code has successfully entered the device of a child. Since the screen time contains several parental controls, this alert ensures that parents know if restrictions have been omitted in some way.
iOS 18.5 It also includes adjustments to the mail application and the configuration screen, among other things, and of course, will surely contain several errors corrections. Therefore, it is definitely worth downloading when it lands.
