Transcripts
hello everyone iOS 18 has officially
came out in a beta format and I wanted
to go and take a look at it on the
iPhone 12 Pro and see if it's even worth
installing if you should install all
that good stuff first things first
though I wouldn't recommend anyone to
install this update whatsoever it's
completely not worth installing just yet
wait until it officially comes out it
was 6.91 GB when it officially came out
for me and that was something that was
very interesting having something like
this you know coming out for this
particular device it's very cool and I
love being able to have that so it's a
very very cool thing now first of all if
I go and swipe up the home screen is
where a lot of these changes happen at
so forther one you can now go ahead and
basically move any application you want
to anywhere on the display so you can
move it up you can move it down you can
move it sideways wherever you want to
you have the capability of moving your
particular applications now which I
think is actually very cool on top of
that you can also hold down on an
application and you can click on your
edit home screen or whatever you can
also just edit up the coloring of these
particular apps as well which is
actually very cool so you can go from
dark mode to light mode all these things
and that is another very cool thing that
you have here as well which is honestly
very awesome now on top of that you can
also go through within the control
center and you can modify a ton of
things here nowadays as well so for one
you can swipe in between different pages
so there's different pages you can make
but also you can go ahead and click on
the plus button at the very top left and
you can start editing your control
center right within this page so that's
another really cool thing you can add
toggles and so many other things that's
another really cool thing going on here
too you can also now lock applications
so by holding down an app you can now
require faity for that application you
can even hide applications inside of
this hidden folder right here as well
inside of your app Library so that's
another really cool thing and another
really cool option that we have inside
of our iPhones that have IOS 18 iMessage
and messages got massive improvements
here as well so for one now we have RCS
message support which is really cool so
now we have that built in inside of our
iPhones our tabbs are now redesigned so
we hold down an application or a message
you can now see we have these t packs
that are now redesigned you can also use
a customized Emoji right here to
basically go ahead and you know
customize the Emojis which is really
cool and you can now send iMessages and
messages later you can also have a lot
more text effects within iMessage which
is really cool game mode is already here
on our iPhones as well so if I go and
load up into a game I swipe down to the
control center there's an option add
that will allow me to go ahead enable
and disable game mode and that is
actually coming out for our iPhones you
also have apple map updates Wallet app
updates there's Journal updates as well
and the photo app got a massive
Improvement here as well there's lots of
improvements within the photos
application now which is you know cool
for some people personally for me I'm
not the biggest fan of it but it is a
little bit of improvement here which is
really cool and you just get access to a
lot more features inside of it as well
so overall there's a lot of improvements
here like I said before I really
wouldn't recommend anyone to go install
this update yet on your iPhone 12 Pro
everything seems to be working I've had
lots and lots of bugs but it will get
better throughout time but like I said I
really wouldn't recommend anyone to go
and update as at this point so that
pretty much covers it up here if you
have any other thoughts or questions let
me know in the comment section below hit
the like button that me so much but
definitely hit that subscribe button
more importantly than everything else I
love every single one of you guys
