WWDC 2024 for iOS 18 - The Deeper Customizable Product

 With the wave of artificial intelligence sweeping the mobile phone industry, iOS 18 has brought many major changes, greatly enhancing the possibilities for personalized customization. Let’s explore the changes showcased at WWDC 2024 for iOS 18 and how they can benefit us.

Changes in iOS 18

  1. Wallpaper AI: Freely change wallpaper colors to any color you desire.
  2. iOS Control Center: Access functions you need every day (do you need to input your schedule into your iOS beforehand?).
  • Swipe from the top-right corner to customize your Control Center (each control can be added or removed according to your preferences).
  • Adjust the size, position, and the way you access controls to be more intelligent.
  • After locking the screen, iOS controls’ accessible functions can also be freely customized, providing a Control API for developers.

3. Control your iOS privacy: Manage who you can share with, what software to share, lock certain software, etc. (Face ID or Touch ID or password). Data within the software will not be accessible through search, notifications, etc. You can also hide applications and secure paired devices.

4. iMessages

  • Reaction Emojis: Express yourself with any emoji or sticker.
  • Scheduled Messages
  • Bold, italic, underline, or strikethrough text effects. Support for text effects (multiple choices), such as being struck by an amazing photo.
  • Send emergency messages offline via satellite.

5. Mail

  • Classification: Emails from people you know, time-sensitive messages like receipts, orders, etc., updates from newsletters, social media notifications, promotions, etc.
  • Mail summary view: Group related emails together.

6. Other iOS app usability improvements

  • Map: Intelligent route planning.
  • Wallet: Replace your physical wallet (exchange Apple Cash). Simply bring phones close together to repay the money.
  • Journal: Record mood states and help track your goals. Support search across all entries.
  • Games: A more immersive experience, reducing background tasks like on Mac.
  • Photos: Organize all photos with a photo library, filter and classify by date, recent time, people, memories, trips, etc., autoplay, customize photo library locations, types, etc.


It’s safe to say that the new features in iOS 18 are adjustments based on existing services and applications, aimed at making iOS more convenient for users. AI and machine learning technologies can be applied to iOS to analyze and process end-user text and image data.

How to make your product easier to use with the help of AI?

At WWDC 2024, Apple showcased the integration of AI with all its products. This is a popular trend that is also happening across various industries, including the PDF industry.
