I lost a lot of the "other" widgets, how do I get them back?! There are the main widgets, then there was another panel with another set of mini widgets.

Yeah, the photos app is just a mess imo. hard to navigate and I don’t see a value add yet.

Just tried the Photos app and I think it's great – being able to customise and hide the different sections is a gamechanger

When you put icon to large that has no label, it just look not right to me for some reason. I hope Apple add like scroll wheel or something to adjust the size of icons next update.

The scientific calculator when you turn your phone landscape has been around for many years. I don’t think people have known about it but I’m still on iOS 17 and I have those buttons for square roots, 1/x, etc. I even remember having that on my iPhone 7 back in the day. But it’s very cool to see how much more robust the calculator app has gotten. Very excited about iOS 18!

The hidden folder is amazing. It just sucks i can't use a new code for it instead. I mean, i want to add an extra layer of protection; 2 different locks with 2 different keys. Not the same lock with the same key.it's just dumb really...

Did anyone also notice of you press any of the side buttons you can see a slight screen indent happening making it feel more satisfying lol

The photos app I thought was amazingly done. Everything in one place and separates by screenshots, handwriting, receipts, and how to sort what you need. I’m upgrading to the 16 pro from a 12 pro. AI will be awesome.

Can’t wait to try all these features Sam, Installing right now!

IOS 17.7 IS OUT NOW SAME ALSO WITH IOS 18 LOL

[femijoel]

So many customization, I don’t know where to start from 😆

[EpicMafioso]

Hate the photo app so much I won’t be updating until they fix it

Converter in calculator I've been waiting for you for so long. 🎉

*They need to add more layers to the action button!* Like a double press or a press and hold should be different functions. I want to use it to do useful things, but I still want a mute key.

*Each of the buttons on my galaxy does 2-3 things*

T9 dialing… phew innovation 🤣 Finally!

[merenwen_kiltæsir]

Wish we could make the icons even smaller tbh, so we can fit more in one page.

I don't like the new photos but having history in the calculator is my favourite addition 👍

[JD-gxms]

I updated on a 12 pro max why doesn’t mine look like that

[kikaykimy]

The highlight in Notes, doesn't work. It only highlights blank space.
I love that we can now add Face ID Required on apps because that's what I've always wanted and now it's here.
I also love that we can finally customize Photos and Pinned Albums. This is what I always wanted, as well.
The Calculator with conversion is the most useful to me right now as I am travelling soon.

I'm updating it rn lol I'm commenting on my chromebook rn bc it's updating, this video is really good and gives a good idea for people who own a non supported ios 18 device, maybe making them get the new iphone to make an improvement on their style and how they browse throughout their device.
