iOS 18 rumoured to bring AI emoji, app and home screen customization and more
With WWDC just weeks away, the wait to see the true potential of iOS 18 and its impact on your iPhone won't be long.
With Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) just around the corner, kicking off on June 10th, there are rumours about interesting features coming to the iPhone with the iOS 18 launch.
Recent reports point at the upcoming update introducing several AI-powered enhancements that promise to transform the IOS user experience. This isn't surprising with Apple expected to announce a partnership with AI leader, OpenAI, potentially bringing AI enhancements to Safari, Siri, and the Photos app.

One intriguing possibility is custom emoji generation. Similar to the custom emoji launched to Android users at the Google I/O event, iOS 18 might allow users to create unique emoji on the fly, tailored to their messages. This opens a world of possibilities for personalized expression.
Another rumored change concerns app and home screen customization. The current grid layout might become a thing of the past, with iOS 18 potentially allowing users to change app icon colors and arrange them more freely. This would be a significant shift for Apple, offering users greater control over their iPhone's visual aesthetic.
While the flashy AI-generated emoji might grab headlines, reports suggest Apple will prioritize practical applications of the technology. We might see AI enhancements in areas like Safari searches, Siri performance, photo editing tools, and even voice memo transcriptions. Additionally, iOS 18 could introduce "smart recaps" that summarize notifications, web pages, and other content, saving you valuable time.
It's important to remember that these are still rumours. We'll have to wait for WWDC to get official confirmation from Apple. However, these possibilities paint an exciting picture of what iOS 18 could offer, potentially making your iPhone experience more personalized, efficient, and even a little bit more fun.
With WWDC just weeks away, the wait to see the true potential of iOS 18 and its impact on your iPhone won't be long.
