iOS 18.4 It seems to be ready to bring an important review to the way notifications work on your iPhone, and the best part is that we do not have to wait too long for the next update to arrive.
As Verge reports, Apple issued a candidate for launching iOS 18.4 on March 24, indicating that the stable version of the update is very likely that it is on the way very soon. In particular, this beta iOS 18.4 Finally provides priority notifications to the selected iPhones, an Apple intelligence feature that automatically gives prominence to important notifications when highlighting them on their blocking screen.
Personally, I think it sounds like a great addition to the iPhone notification system: my phone is often stuck with all kinds of notifications, so having the most important highlighted the second that I reach for my device seems like a useful addition. However, you will need an iPhone 15 pro or newer to access Apple Intelligence (and, therefore, priority notifications).
The priority notifications were revealed for the first time in June 2024 together with the announcement and launch of the iPhone 16 and iOS 18 series, but the characteristic seems to have been the victim of the unusually disorderly launch of Apple Intelligence (see also the long -awaited Siri update).
A launch candidates construction is, as its name suggests, a version close to a software update, literally a candidate for the stable version. We can think of the launch candidate as the intermediate step between the beta and the real versions. It traces, then, that priority notifications will be a key part of iOS 18.4 itself.
What better will come with iOS 18.4?
As reported 9th5mac, iOS 18.4 will bring a handful of other software treats to the owners of the iPhone XS or newer, with the update that covers all the best current iPhones.
Significantly, iOS 18.4 will bring Apple’s intelligence to the EU, ending a stagnation of months due to officially unknown causes.
In addition, the Apple visual intelligence visual intelligence scan will come to the iPhone 15 Pro series and iPhone 15 Pro Max, since it was previously exclusive to the iPhone 16 series.
The App Store will also obtain review summaries generated by AI, while Image Playground will finally benefit from the promised sketch style in the launch.
In addition, the compatible Apple Intelligence Language List will be expanded in iOS 18.4. Newly compatible languages include:
