One of the small but very popular features in iOS 18 is the ability to listen to music while taking photos or recording videos. Previously, when iPhone users used the camera app to record or take photos, the music that was playing would automatically pause.
However, with this new version, music continues to play in the background even when recording videos or taking photos. This is especially ideal for those who like to create a musical atmosphere while recording memorable moments. Music can also continue to play via Bluetooth, allowing users to maintain the desired atmosphere without worrying about the music being interrupted when using the camera.
Additionally, Apple has updated the Wallet app with smart security features. When adding an ID card or access card, the system can now ask users to take a photo directly instead of just turning their head as before.
This ensures that the person adding the ID is the real owner of the phone. This live photo will be checked not only by the phone but also by Apple's servers to verify that the user is real and alive.
FaceTime video quality has also been significantly improved in iOS 18. When users use Low Data Mode, the app will use more data when the network is strong, allowing for clearer images without consuming data unnecessarily.
This feature is ideal for those who want to save data but still want high-quality video calls. Even when users need to control their data consumption, this feature automatically adjusts, ensuring a balance between image quality and efficiency.
These small updates in iOS 18 are a testament to Apple's continued efforts to improve the small features that users interact with every day. From keeping music playing while using the camera, to smarter security in the Wallet app, to improved video calling quality, iOS 18 brings subtle but impactful improvements.
