Explore the Latest in iOS 18.5 Public Beta 1: Under-the-Hood Tweaks and Mail Enhancements

iOS 18.5 Public Beta 1 Released

Apple has made the first public beta of iOS 18.5 available to users, following the recent release of iOS 18.4. The update currently appears to be relatively minor, focusing on under-the-hood improvements and a few tweaks in the Apple Mail app.

Key Changes:

• Apple Mail Tweak:
  • New option to disable categories, AI priority messages, and grouping by sender using the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the app.
  • An additional 'Show Contact Photos' toggle has been added to the same menu, allowing users to hide or show contact photos in their inbox.
• Settings App:
  • Visual enhancements to the AppleCare & Warranty screen, including links for easier access to support on Apple’s website.

Other Notes:

• The update is still early in its beta cycle, so it may not be worth installing due to potential bugs and performance issues. Users are encouraged to test and provide feedback.
