New iOS 18.3 Update Brings Smart Calendar Enhancements with Visual Intelligence

Apple’s Calendar App Improvements in iOS 18.3

Apple's Calendar app, which has been a staple on iPhones since its inception, is finally seeing some significant updates. With the release of iOS 18, Apple introduced several notable changes, including:

• Integration with Reminders: Users can now create, edit, and view all their reminders directly within the Calendar app.
• Refreshed Design: The app received typography and UI improvements for a more modern look.
• Enhanced Month View: A new month view that displays event details for better planning.

In iOS 18.3, Apple has added another useful feature: Visual Intelligence through the Camera Control. This feature allows users to point their iPhone's camera at a flyer or poster and add events directly to their calendar. While this addition is relatively small, it provides a quick and easy way to digitize real-world information.

The article mentions that Apple has been making gradual improvements to its default apps, which has led some users to switch back from third-party alternatives like Google Calendar and Fantastical. However, the new visual intelligence feature will only work with Apple's Calendar app, as iOS does not allow users to set a different app as the default calendar.
