iOS 18 Developer Beta 5
Apple has released the iOS 18 developer beta 5 for eligible iPhone models. According to the release note, this update is going to better the user experience courtesy of all the new tools and polished interfaces. Here are all the key highlights coming in iOS 18 developer beta 5.
Configurable Distract Me Not in Safari.
Of the many changes to iOS 18 developer beta 5, a new “Distraction Control” feature within Safari probably stands out as the most significant addition. Said to pack distractions aside and let you concentrate on the main content, the new feature provides an option for people to remove distractive elements from web pages. It can block everything, from sign-in pop-ups to intrusive overlays, in order for people to block annoying content and end up with a more minimalistic experience while browsing web sites.
To do this, the users will go to the page menu on Safari and click on the “Hide Distracting Items” feature. When users click on this, they will be shown what is necessary to remove from the view, hence making it a clean and focused selection.
Changes to the Photos App
According to user feedback, Photos is one of the applications in which Apple has done several major changes. That controversial carousel view that used to display daily picture highlights is gone. Its replacement is a really overhauled “All Photos” section of the application, now displaying more images to a screen in order to easily scroll and manage your pictures. It also made it much easier to get to photo albums, completing the changes to really bolster the user experience.
Icons Redesigned
Developer beta 5: brings more new icons especially for the dark mode. The dark mode icons in the Maps as well as the Find My app have newly enhanced dark-mode icons such that they look better in the low light. In addition, a few minor changes can be evidently seen in a few control centre icons such as the cellular data and the screen mirroring. This little bit of design changes is definitely leading to the visually aesthetic and integrated interface.
