With iOS 18, you can customize your phone to the highest degree. Apps can be adjusted around the screen to frame your wallpaper, and you can adjust the color and tint of your apps for a more cohesive look. If you're sick of accidentally turning on the flashlight because of its place on your lock screen, you can swap it out for other options including Snapchat — even though we're not sure why you'd need such quick access to it.

Plus you can now lock and hide apps on your phone, which may or may not result in the end of a few relationships.

Messages is getting an upgrade, too. Your favorite tapbacks are getting redesigned — now you'll be able to react to a message with any emoji. Get vocal in your messages by using bold, italic, and strikethrough text and never forget a birthday text again with scheduled sends.

According to Apple, Photos is getting its largest redesign yet with a new single scroll photo grid. There are ways to filter your entire library, removing screenshots from cluttering your screen. Plus, it will recognize groups of people and your pets for better collections.
