Great video ! Just 1 question - I have an iPhone 12 128GB… the new features are great & some are what Ive been looking for for years!!! I now have the latest ios 17 version. Should I upgrade now or wait some more???

Dylan, great explanation, as usual. Learned about a lot of new features. One question: when transcribing audio into a note, there’s an option to “add transcript to note.” What’s the difference between that and what you showed us, which was “Copy transcript?”
The phone recording calls icon doesn’t show up on my screen when making calls. I’m using the newest iPhone and 18 iOS. Any suggestions on why? Love the video!
Apple decided to hold back that feature until the 18.1 update, which will be released on October 28th. You'll be able to see and use that feature as well as other Apple intelligence features when that version releases. Stay tuned, it's almost here.
A new feature called Hover Typing may further support low-vision users with different typing needs on the touchscreen. It can be found by going to Settings>Accessibility>keyboards & Typing>Hover Typing. Hover Typing will display larger text while typing. The user can also choose where this text will be displayed. Hope that is helpful.

Hello. I use to favorite my photos before I put them in a shared album. It is easy that way to see what pictures to share among all pictures. How can I in a shared album see what pictures I have shared and not the ones my friend has put in the album? Is it possible to tag my pictures in that shared album? I have told my friend to also favorite his shared pictures. He is late in uploading to the shared album and it is not easy to see if he has uploaded his pics from yesterday or not. How can I see how far he has gone in uploading his pictures from our trip?

As an IT guy, I don’t see anything blatant but it’s important to note that Apple’s RCS (to Android) aren’t encrypted yet but that’s likely to change at some point. Messages weren’t encrypted prior to RCS (using SMS) anyways though. As usually with any OS overhaul, updates generally come with weak links that get found/patched in the following updates. If you do use the Passwords app, then protect your phone through normal Face ID/Touch ID if you don’t already.
I don't expect any of these updates to create major security holes. Apple is pretty insistent about keeping the iPhone secure... so I am not worried about it. Certainly opening the door to RCS may have some unforeseen consequences (especially with scam and phishing texts) but nothing we haven't seen before with SMS.
Just got my iPhone 16 pro and your videos are very helpful. Easy to follow your navigation prompts. Screen shots are clear and help with properly following along. Thank you.
It's really unlikely because Apple's intelligence requires quite a bit of processing power... and the iPhone chip that was built with the right amount of power for it was the iPhone 15 Pro. Future phones have even more space on the chip for what they call the neural engine to really solve that problem... but back when the iPhone 13 was created, nobody knew they were going to need the neural engine... so it's pretty much non-existent. The reality is that as Apple intelligence continues to evolve we will need faster and faster processors, and anything before the iPhone 15 Pro will be unlikely to ever get those tools. On top of that, as far as I'm concerned, an iPhone purchase is approximately a 2-3 year purchase for peak performance. After 2 years, the battery starts to degrade, and you have to spend money replacing it... After 3 years, it starts to fall a little behind in current technology. I tend to replace my phones every year when the new ones come out, and I know that most people can't (or don't want to) change their phones as often..., but I don't think we should be of the mindset that a phone should last 5 or 6 years because they just won't. Your 13 mini is a good phone today, but a year from now, you should definitely be looking at an upgrade.
In the control panel to the right where there are suppose to be 4 icons..i.e.the heart and 3 others. Mine is only showing 3 icons and am missing the music icon. Must have deleted it accidentally . How do I add it back ? Thanks
The nice thing about the control panel sections is that you can create your own at Will. So if you add a music command in and drag it to an open area it will re-create the music section.
Dylan, this is my first time watching your channel. You have broken down iOS 18 which helps me, a senior to understand Apple’s software much better. You did an excellent job and your presentation is awesome. I will check your channel periodically. God bless you, your wife and family. Oh yes, God bless your present and future endeavors. Greg S
Thanks, Greg, and thanks so much for watching. I have a ton of videos that can help seniors understand their technology better... and if you let me know what you're struggling with, I can help guide you. All the best, and thanks for the good wishes!
What do you mean Amazon upload? Are you talking about the Amazon store, Amazon Prime, or something completely different? In most cases that's related to your Wi-Fi and/or cellular connection... not your phone, but being that it's a new phone and a new operating system it might just need a restart. Let me know if this is still an issue.
Hey Dylan! I have the iPhone Pro 15 Pro and I don’t get all those features you’re talking about in the best new features of ISO 18 I know the features of AI is not out yet like that one you called your wife for recording the conversation. I don’t get that on my iPhone Pro 15. Do I need to turn something on?
We still Don’t have OS 18 for download yet. I am in Los Angeles county. Any knowledge as to when apple will offer to us. Also waiting for Apple Watch ultra2 up grade too. Thanks for all of your help.
Are you sure? iOS 18 should have been available approximately 2 weeks ago. Unless your phone is too old... restart your phone, go to settings, general, software update and see what you find there... Should be available for any phone newer than the iphone XS.
It will be released when Apple Intelligence comes out with iOS 18.1... it's still in Beta at the moment but is being refined and should be released in October.
Apple Intelligence will be released on October 28th as part of the iOS 18.1 update. Until then, it is not available for wide release. When it does release, it will bring Apple Intelligence to the iPhone 15 Pro and later. So as long as you have one of those phones, you should be fine. Sit tight...
Welcome to the Apple family! 🍏🙌 The iPhone 16 Pro Max is a fantastic choice for your first iPhone, and I’m confident you’ll love the smooth experience. 🎉 While the transition from Android may feel a bit different at first, iOS 18 is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive. If you have any questions or need tips on how to make the switch easier, feel free to reach out-we’re here to help! 😊 Enjoy your new iPhone adventure! 📱🚀
By the way, I have a Mac pc that I love but now although I know the password, it just doesn´t accept it and keeps saying it´s wrong. Is there a way I could phone Apple and ask them to help me?
You can certainly try... in most cases when it's saying it's wrong, you're probably using the wrong password. People commonly confuse their Apple ID password and their computer's password, which are different systems. There is a way that you can reboot your laptop and reset the password)... but that takes some decent technical skills. Apple may be able to help you with that if you call them.
Dylan I am inspired by your video & your way to explain the topics on ios 18 one thing I want to know by you I hope you help me out “in photos app how to move photos from camera roll to album & don’t want to show these photos in camera roll I mean permanent move to album
It's just not the way the Photos app is designed. It's intended for your library (what you are calling the camera roll) to show all of the pictures in your entire collection. Then, when you move them into folders or albums, it makes a reference to the file in the library. This means that you can add the same photo to multiple albums without dupliczating the photo. It doesn't remove it from the library because the library is everything you've got in your entire collection, and that's the way it's supposed to be. What I suggest you do is create a Smart Album that automatically shows any photos that have not been moved into any album. You can call this Smart Album "UNSORTED" and then you will always know what pictures have not yet been filed away, which I think is what you're trying to find. It's easier to do it from the computer than the phone, but if you need help let me know. I'm constantly seeing people want to take pictures out of the library when they move them into albums. But that would mean that if you want the same picture in more than one album you have to duplicate it, creating unnecessary duplicates in your library. The library that contains everythign (sorted chronologically) is a much more elegant solution, and when used the way it's intended it makes perfect sense. If you haven't checked it out, you should also watch this video where I go more into depth about how to organize photos. ruclips.net/video/qw7xdTfwXkg/видео.html
@@TheMacWhisperer hello dear you are right but before ios 18 when move photos from Library to album it give option to move or copy photo to album but not now in ios 18 why? Thanks
Thanks for your question! 🙏 It's a bit too detailed to fully answer in a comment. However, many people in my live Q&A classes have similar questions, and we take time to dive into these topics 1:1. Let us know if you’re interested in joining us for one of the sessions-we’d love to help you out more in-depth! 😊
Absolutely, inside the Photos app, in the 'Utilities' collection, you'll find a section for duplicates. Clicking that will show you any pictures that the phone recognizes as complete or very similar duplicates and you can remove them there. In my opinion, you should be very cautious when doing this because sometimes the phone may assume something is a duplicate when really it's a picture you edited or made changes to, and there are slight differences between the two 'duplicates'. It can be a good way to clean stuff up... just be wary of removing all the duplicates at once without taking a close look at them.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Will you be downloading the upgrade, or waiting for it? It was officially released on Monday… And if you will be updating, what are you most looking forward to?
Yes, if you press and hold on a message (in text or email) one of the options is "Translate". Also, if you select text and then click through the arrows in the pop-up menu, one of the options there is "Translate". You can't have it do it automatically without creating a Siri shortcut for that, but one button click is pretty easy to do.
Thank you for this. However my messages screen doesn’t look like yours. I have ‘edit messages and compose (icon) no …. I also don’t get a crown when doing the tap back. ????
The search feature in my calendar is not working since the iOS 18 update. This is really frustrating since I use it a lot to look at dr appointments. I have a 14 pro.
Make sure you are on the latest operating system. At the moment, that is iOS 18.1... There were a few glitches in the earlier versions that have mostly been resolved by now. If that's still not working, let me know and hopefully we can help you sort it out.
Great video! Would you happen to know how to keep the app icons from changing positions on the home screen when rotating iPad from landscape to portrait?
Unfortunately, there is no way to do that at this time... annoying, I know. Hopefully, as iPad OS continues to get refined, they will adjust it... but that has been an issue since the beginning of iPadOS 18

I was wondering if there is anything new in CarPlay? Also, can I expect it to be glitchy at first? The reason I only do public betas with my iPad Pro and not my phone is because I worry what will happen in Car Play.
I know there are some new CarPlay features... and yes, you should wait until the next iOS 18 release to update so they can address any possible bugs that are reported.
If you type a message but don't send it, and click the plus button you may have to look on the second page of apps for Send later, but it should be there. Organizing the top and bottom pages of message apos can resolve it. Let me kmnow if you still don't see it in the lower section... There's no reason you shouldn't be able to find it SOMEWHERE... it's fully functional on the iPhone 14... Keep in mind it only works (reliably) to iPhone users.
also in messages, if you select only part of the message, you can add the animation effect to that text thats selected and not the rest. you can have multiple animations going in one message by selecting each part you want animated.
The cleanup functionality will be released for iPhone 15 Pro and later on October 28th when the iOS 18.1 update is released for the public. I am a beta developer and had that version already on my phone, which is why you're able to see it here. We had assumed that iOS 18.1 would be released a little sooner than it was, but we now have a release date of 10/28, so there's not a lot longer for you to wait to get this feature.
Unfortunately no. it requires a more powerful chip. It will only be available on the iPhone 15 Pro and any phone they release after that. Sorry, it just takes too much power for the older chips... they would slow down dramatically, and everyone would complain about it so they have restricted it to the newer models...
I’ve added it to my list. In fact it was on the list before you suggested it… But I moved it up a little higher just for you. Give me a a few weeks and you should see it.
I wonder if it is possible to send songs from my iPhone to a friend. I have just bought an iPhone15 pro and since prior to this I had an iPhone 7 things are very different so I’ve wondered if we can now send music files to friends using iphone or any phone. Thank you for your interesting preview of iOS 18 which I will no doubt be grappling with soon. I love the Ai tools that will be available soon, I can’t wait as anything that can offer improvement, one of the main things are the errors one makes when typing fast. Thanks.
If your friend also has Apple Music, you can share any song with them by going to the song and clicking the share icon. If they don't, you can use a third-party app like Songshift to transfer any song to another platform like Spotify or Google Music and send that link to your friends.
This is the first time I have seen your channel and I have to say I love your style. Your tone of voice and pace makes it easy for me to go along with your video and comprehend what you’re talking about. A lot other videos I’ve seen they have a lot of info but go too fast. Keep up the good work
I appreciate that! I always try to keep my videos informative but also easy to digest. I love helping out my viewers. Please be sure to let me know if there's a topic you'd like me to cover, or a question that you have.
I subscribed to your channel because I like your presentation that makes to see when you switch to a new feature and not talking too fast. I rarely use apps and feature on my iPhone Pro Max 11, preferring to use my iPad Pro which I have the iPadOS 18 public beta on. I just ordered the new ProMax 16 and want to start using it more. I am most eager to start using the notes and calendar apps. I like how you can integrate them and add voice memos. I have a question about the Photos app. I never knew about the pinned option, even on my iPad Pro. How do you pin a photo and can you use it on screenshots?
You can't "Pin" a specific photo. You can pin a collection or section of your library (like your screenshots or memories). The closest thing to pinning photos is favoriting them... and from the favorite section, you can filter it to show only screenshots if you like...
Yes, Apple decided to wait until the next update to release that feature. I didn’t know that when this video was recorded. It should show up on your device when iOS 18.1 gets released in early October.
There are a handful of new security features. You can read about them here: www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-18/ I never find security features very interesting to discuss, so I chose not to include them.
Excellent by far the best tutorial I’ve seen most people race through it but you are slow in precise and understandable I will be watching more of your videos. Great job.
I'm so glad you got good value out of it. Btw, there is a new iOS update as of this morning. iOS 18.2. Check out this link to learn all about it: ruclips.net/video/6LnWSIVKLoU/видео.html
Thank you for sharing all this important information. I don’t like what they did to the photos on my iPad. They are so small I have a hard time seeing them. Now I will stretch them out and hopefully I will be able to see them again.

Hands down my favorite new tool. I am making a video soecifically about it, and it shoul dbe released soon. It is an easy tool to remove distracting elements from websites (like when google asks you to sign in or when a page asks you to accept cookies). It's not effective with ads (adblockers work better for those), but it is really good for those other annoying parts of many web pages.
Really well thought out and presented Dylan.. Im not quite ready to make the switch, not truly impressive. Chat GPT is on the other hand a game changer.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! 😊 I totally get it-making the switch can be a big decision. And yes, ChatGPT has definitely been a game-changer in so many ways! What’s exciting is that Apple Intelligence is continuing to roll out over the next few months, with even more improvements on the horizon. Expect to see new features and upgrades very soon. If you’re curious about how AI and Apple can work together, or have questions about iOS, feel free to join one of our weekly live broadcasts-we dive into all kinds of tech! 🎉
Did you run the iOS 18 update? What phone are you on? Did you check on the second page of iMessage apps (accessible by clicking on the plus button on the left side)?
So I have heard a lot of reports that it is a little problematic right now. It SHOULD be available... but is most reliable when sending to other iphone users. Start typing a message, then click on the plus button on the right. If you don't see it, swipe down to the second page of apps and see if it shows up there. I know Apple is aware of the current Send Later issues, so there may be an update soon to resolve it.
Yeah, people love the shirts. I actually wear them all the time… Not just for my videos. What’s the big Takeaway you learned (other than my love for rubber duckies) from this video?
Great question, Armando! 😊 In iOS 18, if your friend’s contact has the wrong photo, you can manually update it. Just go to the Photos app, find the correct picture of the person, tap the "i" icon, and choose Add to People. Then, select or merge it with the right contact. You can also edit their photo in Contacts by tapping Edit at the top. If you have more questions, join one of our weekly live broadcasts-we dive into all these cool iOS 18 features! 🎉
You’re very welcome! 😊 I’m glad you found the tutorial helpful. As for the crown in Messages, make sure you're running the latest version of iOS 18-sometimes the update can fix missing features. If it’s still not showing up, feel free to join one of our weekly live broadcasts, and we can troubleshoot it together. 🎉
That’s a good question. I haven’t hit the limit of it yet… I’m sure if you do a little Google searching you can find the answer, but it’s a pretty long duration.
iMessage is Apple‘s texting system that works on computers, iPads and iPhones. It only works between Apple devices. Messages is a messaging app created by Facebook, that requires people to have a Facebook account in order to connect with them. It can be used on phones and computers or through the web… And does not Care whether you are on Apple, android or PC. But runs through Facebook… Facebook is a company (their parent company is called Meta) that owns Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook… And is a corporation that has consistently been caught stealing user information, and reducing privacy for their users. On Apple devices iMessage is the fastest, easiest and best way to communicate with other Apple users without degrading your privacy or requiring your recipients to have a Facebook or Instagram or WhatsApp account. Hope that helps!

On top of that, as far as I'm concerned, an iPhone purchase is approximately a 2-3 year purchase for peak performance. After 2 years, the battery starts to degrade, and you have to spend money replacing it... After 3 years, it starts to fall a little behind in current technology.
I tend to replace my phones every year when the new ones come out, and I know that most people can't (or don't want to) change their phones as often..., but I don't think we should be of the mindset that a phone should last 5 or 6 years because they just won't. Your 13 mini is a good phone today, but a year from now, you should definitely be looking at an upgrade.
Is the send later option for iPhone users only?
Yes.
Since this update I’m unable to receive SMS codes i.e. from banks or government agencies. How do I resolve?
In the control panel to the right where there are suppose to be 4 icons..i.e.the heart and 3 others. Mine is only showing 3 icons and am missing the music icon. Must have deleted it accidentally . How do I add it back ? Thanks
The nice thing about the control panel sections is that you can create your own at Will. So if you add a music command in and drag it to an open area it will re-create the music section.

Dylan, this is my first time watching your channel. You have broken down iOS 18 which helps me, a senior to understand Apple’s software much better. You did an excellent job and your presentation is awesome. I will check your channel periodically. God bless you, your wife and family. Oh yes, God bless your present and future endeavors. Greg S
Thanks, Greg, and thanks so much for watching. I have a ton of videos that can help seniors understand their technology better... and if you let me know what you're struggling with, I can help guide you.
All the best, and thanks for the good wishes!
Thank you very much. It was a thorough, not too quick and nice review of IOS 18.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for review. What’s with the glow when touching the power button? I have iPhone 16 promax and iOS 18.01.
I am on iOS 18.1 (beta release)... the full releases should happen in the next week or two... it's the "new" Siri design...
@@TheMacWhisperer Ah, that explains it. Thank you!
Why my Amazon upload so slowly in my iPhone16Pro? It’s really frustrated. It’ll be much appreciated if you could help on this issue.
What do you mean Amazon upload? Are you talking about the Amazon store, Amazon Prime, or something completely different?
In most cases that's related to your Wi-Fi and/or cellular connection... not your phone, but being that it's a new phone and a new operating system it might just need a restart. Let me know if this is still an issue.
Hey Dylan! I have the iPhone Pro 15 Pro and I don’t get all those features you’re talking about in the best new features of ISO 18 I know the features of AI is not out yet like that one you called your wife for recording the conversation. I don’t get that on my iPhone Pro 15. Do I need to turn something on?
Apple delayed the release of the phone call recording feature until iOS 18.1.
That should be released on October 28, so sit tight…
Ok,I have iOS 18.1 on my iPhone 15 pro
We still Don’t have OS 18 for download yet. I am in Los Angeles county. Any knowledge as to when apple will offer to us. Also waiting for Apple Watch ultra2 up grade too. Thanks for all of your help.
Are you sure? iOS 18 should have been available approximately 2 weeks ago. Unless your phone is too old... restart your phone, go to settings, general, software update and see what you find there... Should be available for any phone newer than the iphone XS.
I don’t have the clean up option in photos is that something that will be coming soon? I have iPhone 15 pro max .
It will be released when Apple Intelligence comes out with iOS 18.1... it's still in Beta at the moment but is being refined and should be released in October.
Awesome video. I could not download apple intelligenec app. Help
Apple Intelligence will be released on October 28th as part of the iOS 18.1 update. Until then, it is not available for wide release. When it does release, it will bring Apple Intelligence to the iPhone 15 Pro and later. So as long as you have one of those phones, you should be fine. Sit tight...
I am glad I found your video. You are a rock star!
First time viewer. This was an awesome video!! Thank you so much, I haven’t tried any of this stuff lol….

The iPhone 16 Pro Max will he my very first iPhone. Hoping it is a smooth transition from Android that ive been using since version 1.1
Welcome to the Apple family! 🍏🙌 The iPhone 16 Pro Max is a fantastic choice for your first iPhone, and I’m confident you’ll love the smooth experience. 🎉 While the transition from Android may feel a bit different at first, iOS 18 is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive. If you have any questions or need tips on how to make the switch easier, feel free to reach out-we’re here to help! 😊 Enjoy your new iPhone adventure! 📱🚀
By the way, I have a Mac pc that I love but now although I know the password, it just doesn´t accept it and keeps saying it´s wrong. Is there a way I could phone Apple and ask them to help me?
You can certainly try... in most cases when it's saying it's wrong, you're probably using the wrong password.
People commonly confuse their Apple ID password and their computer's password, which are different systems. There is a way that you can reboot your laptop and reset the password)... but that takes some decent technical skills. Apple may be able to help you with that if you call them.
Dylan I am inspired by your video & your way to explain the topics on ios 18 one thing I want to know by you I hope you help me out “in photos app how to move photos from camera roll to album & don’t want to show these photos in camera roll I mean permanent move to album
It's just not the way the Photos app is designed. It's intended for your library (what you are calling the camera roll) to show all of the pictures in your entire collection. Then, when you move them into folders or albums, it makes a reference to the file in the library. This means that you can add the same photo to multiple albums without dupliczating the photo. It doesn't remove it from the library because the library is everything you've got in your entire collection, and that's the way it's supposed to be.
What I suggest you do is create a Smart Album that automatically shows any photos that have not been moved into any album. You can call this Smart Album "UNSORTED" and then you will always know what pictures have not yet been filed away, which I think is what you're trying to find.
It's easier to do it from the computer than the phone, but if you need help let me know.
I'm constantly seeing people want to take pictures out of the library when they move them into albums. But that would mean that if you want the same picture in more than one album you have to duplicate it, creating unnecessary duplicates in your library.
The library that contains everythign (sorted chronologically) is a much more elegant solution, and when used the way it's intended it makes perfect sense.
If you haven't checked it out, you should also watch this video where I go more into depth about how to organize photos.

@@TheMacWhisperer hello dear you are right but before ios 18 when move photos from Library to album it give option to move or copy photo to album but not now in ios 18 why? Thanks
How do you cut off iOS from reading punctuation when you use voice over
Thanks for your question! 🙏 It's a bit too detailed to fully answer in a comment. However, many people in my live Q&A classes have similar questions, and we take time to dive into these topics 1:1. Let us know if you’re interested in joining us for one of the sessions-we’d love to help you out more in-depth! 😊
Is there a way to remove duplicate photos?
Absolutely, inside the Photos app, in the 'Utilities' collection, you'll find a section for duplicates. Clicking that will show you any pictures that the phone recognizes as complete or very similar duplicates and you can remove them there.
In my opinion, you should be very cautious when doing this because sometimes the phone may assume something is a duplicate when really it's a picture you edited or made changes to, and there are slight differences between the two 'duplicates'.
It can be a good way to clean stuff up... just be wary of removing all the duplicates at once without taking a close look at them.
Great video. Now I'm not so apprehensive about iOS 18. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Will you be downloading the upgrade, or waiting for it?
It was officially released on Monday… And if you will be updating, what are you most looking forward to?
Is there an option to auto.have the option to translate right into mail or message?
Yes, if you press and hold on a message (in text or email) one of the options is "Translate". Also, if you select text and then click through the arrows in the pop-up menu, one of the options there is "Translate". You can't have it do it automatically without creating a Siri shortcut for that, but one button click is pretty easy to do.
Any chance of deleting multiple created events in Calendar without doing it individually in IOS 18?
Not that I can see... I'll let you know if I find a way to do that.
Dylan !!! Wow you did an amazing job! I learned sooooo much !! Thank you for the video 📱
Awesome! That's what I love to hear!
@@TheMacWhispererI wish I could wisper to the XR
How do you get the bursting balloons in the message app?
Thank you for this. However my messages screen doesn’t look like yours. I have ‘edit messages and compose (icon) no …. I also don’t get a crown when doing the tap back. ????
What operating system is currently on your phone?
The search feature in my calendar is not working since the iOS 18 update. This is really frustrating since I use it a lot to look at dr appointments. I have a 14 pro.
Make sure you are on the latest operating system. At the moment, that is iOS 18.1... There were a few glitches in the earlier versions that have mostly been resolved by now. If that's still not working, let me know and hopefully we can help you sort it out.
Great video! Would you happen to know how to keep the app icons from changing positions on the home screen when rotating iPad from landscape to portrait?
Unfortunately, there is no way to do that at this time... annoying, I know. Hopefully, as iPad OS continues to get refined, they will adjust it... but that has been an issue since the beginning of iPadOS 18

I was wondering if there is anything new in CarPlay? Also, can I expect it to be glitchy at first? The reason I only do public betas with my iPad Pro and not my phone is because I worry what will happen in Car Play.
I know there are some new CarPlay features... and yes, you should wait until the next iOS 18 release to update so they can address any possible bugs that are reported.
Hi Is the send later has it for iPhone 14, I don’t see mine has send it later in the messages. Thanks. Love your video
What operating system are you currently on?
iOS 18
If you type a message but don't send it, and click the plus button you may have to look on the second page of apps for Send later, but it should be there. Organizing the top and bottom pages of message apos can resolve it. Let me kmnow if you still don't see it in the lower section...
There's no reason you shouldn't be able to find it SOMEWHERE... it's fully functional on the iPhone 14...
Keep in mind it only works (reliably) to iPhone users.
Hi sir. I don’t see the send later in my iPhone 14. I click it there but it pop up many apps except the app send later is not there.

also in messages, if you select only part of the message, you can add the animation effect to that text thats selected and not the rest. you can have multiple animations going in one message by selecting each part you want animated.
Absolutely true! I love that New feature, and have been using it regularly!
Good morning thanks for the tips what if you don’t have a cleanup feature on your photos
The cleanup functionality will be released for iPhone 15 Pro and later on October 28th when the iOS 18.1 update is released for the public.
I am a beta developer and had that version already on my phone, which is why you're able to see it here.
We had assumed that iOS 18.1 would be released a little sooner than it was, but we now have a release date of 10/28, so there's not a lot longer for you to wait to get this feature.
@@TheMacWhisperer thank you
Very clear explanations of iOS 18 CHANGES .Thank you .
Glad it was helpful!
Will apple make the AI feature available to older iPhones, like iPhone 14, eventually?
Unfortunately no. it requires a more powerful chip. It will only be available on the iPhone 15 Pro and any phone they release after that. Sorry, it just takes too much power for the older chips... they would slow down dramatically, and everyone would complain about it so they have restricted it to the newer models...
Thank you for the informative video. I’d love you to cover the new Siri AI please 🙏🏼 yours is the best video for the new iOS 18 I’ve come across!
Will do! It won't be released fully for folks for a month or so, but I will make a video about it!!!
Good video! Do a three steps instruction with AI.
I’ve added it to my list. In fact it was on the list before you suggested it… But I moved it up a little higher just for you. Give me a a few weeks and you should see it.

What a masterpiece presentation! Immediately liked and subscribed.
Wow, thank you! Welcome aboard!
I wonder if it is possible to send songs from my iPhone to a friend. I have just bought an iPhone15 pro and since prior to this I had an iPhone 7 things are very different so I’ve wondered if we can now send music files to friends using iphone or any phone. Thank you for your interesting preview of iOS 18 which I will no doubt be grappling with soon. I love the Ai tools that will be available soon, I can’t wait as anything that can offer improvement, one of the main things are the errors one makes when typing fast. Thanks.
If your friend also has Apple Music, you can share any song with them by going to the song and clicking the share icon. If they don't, you can use a third-party app like Songshift to transfer any song to another platform like Spotify or Google Music and send that link to your friends.
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
This is the first time I have seen your channel and I have to say I love your style. Your tone of voice and pace makes it easy for me to go along with your video and comprehend what you’re talking about. A lot other videos I’ve seen they have a lot of info but go too fast. Keep up the good work
I appreciate that! I always try to keep my videos informative but also easy to digest.
I love helping out my viewers. Please be sure to let me know if there's a topic you'd like me to cover, or a question that you have.
I subscribed to your channel because I like your presentation that makes to see when you switch to a new feature and not talking too fast. I rarely use apps and feature on my iPhone Pro Max 11, preferring to use my iPad Pro which I have the iPadOS 18 public beta on. I just ordered the new ProMax 16 and want to start using it more. I am most eager to start using the notes and calendar apps. I like how you can integrate them and add voice memos. I have a question about the Photos app. I never knew about the pinned option, even on my iPad Pro. How do you pin a photo and can you use it on screenshots?
You can't "Pin" a specific photo. You can pin a collection or section of your library (like your screenshots or memories). The closest thing to pinning photos is favoriting them... and from the favorite section, you can filter it to show only screenshots if you like...
In iMessage if you hold the send button it'll give you some more effects
Absolutely true! Thanks for the tip!
My Conversation recorder option does not appeat on the left cotner ?
Yes, Apple decided to wait until the next update to release that feature. I didn’t know that when this video was recorded. It should show up on your device when iOS 18.1 gets released in early October.
any new security features?
There are a handful of new security features. You can read about them here:
www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-18/
I never find security features very interesting to discuss, so I chose not to include them.
Excellent by far the best tutorial I’ve seen most people race through it but you are slow in precise and understandable I will be watching more of your videos. Great job.
I'm so glad you got good value out of it. Btw, there is a new iOS update as of this morning. iOS 18.2. Check out this link to learn all about it: ruclips.net/video/6LnWSIVKLoU/видео.html
Thank you for sharing all this important information. I don’t like what they did to the photos on my iPad. They are so small I have a hard time seeing them. Now I will stretch them out and hopefully I will be able to see them again.

Can you talk about the Safari ‘Remove Distractions’?
Hands down my favorite new tool. I am making a video soecifically about it, and it shoul dbe released soon. It is an easy tool to remove distracting elements from websites (like when google asks you to sign in or when a page asks you to accept cookies). It's not effective with ads (adblockers work better for those), but it is really good for those other annoying parts of many web pages.
@@TheMacWhisperer I was playing with it and found, if I want, I can erase absolutely everything from a page. Lol
Really well thought out and presented Dylan.. Im not quite ready to make the switch, not truly impressive. Chat GPT is on the other hand a game changer.

I don’t have the option in my text messages to send it later so you know why??
Did you run the iOS 18 update?
What phone are you on?
Did you check on the second page of iMessage apps (accessible by clicking on the plus button on the left side)?
I did download the IOS 18 and I have a iPhone 15 pro max
So I have heard a lot of reports that it is a little problematic right now. It SHOULD be available... but is most reliable when sending to other iphone users. Start typing a message, then click on the plus button on the right. If you don't see it, swipe down to the second page of apps and see if it shows up there. I know Apple is aware of the current Send Later issues, so there may be an update soon to resolve it.
I don't have this on I phone 15 plus will it update to 18?
Yep
ios18 is due out 16th Sept 24.

The new 18 has pictures of your friends, but it has the wrong picture so how do you add to that actual person’s name in their photos?
Great question, Armando! 😊 In iOS 18, if your friend’s contact has the wrong photo, you can manually update it. Just go to the Photos app, find the correct picture of the person, tap the "i" icon, and choose Add to People. Then, select or merge it with the right contact. You can also edit their photo in Contacts by tapping Edit at the top. If you have more questions, join one of our weekly live broadcasts-we dive into all these cool iOS 18 features! 🎉

I even understood it🤔😊. 😊
How are iMessage, Messages, and Facebook connected? I tried looking it up but am still very confused.
iMessage is Apple‘s texting system that works on computers, iPads and iPhones. It only works between Apple devices.
Messages is a messaging app created by Facebook, that requires people to have a Facebook account in order to connect with them. It can be used on phones and computers or through the web… And does not Care whether you are on Apple, android or PC. But runs through Facebook…
Facebook is a company (their parent company is called Meta) that owns Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook… And is a corporation that has consistently been caught stealing user information, and reducing privacy for their users.
On Apple devices iMessage is the fastest, easiest and best way to communicate with other Apple users without degrading your privacy or requiring your recipients to have a Facebook or Instagram or WhatsApp account.
Hope that helps!
