iOS 18.2 update, this feature is finally back!

Early yesterday morning, Apple pushed the iOS 18.2 Beta 3 version, one week after the last beta version update. The version number of this update is 22C5131e.

Users who have already updated the iOS 18 beta version can directly upgrade to the latest version in the software update. Users who want to try it out can send " 18 " in the background of this official account to get the trial link.

Let’s take a look at what changes this update brings.

Album optimization

Since the release of iOS 18, Apple has made many changes to the photo app, which has been repeatedly criticized by users for being difficult to use. The main reason is that the UI interface of the old version of the photo app has been used for many years, and it is inevitable that everyone is not used to it after a sudden major change.

Now Apple has finally adjusted the Album app in iOS 18.2 Beta 3. Now when playing a video through the album, the video will automatically play in full-screen mode, and the bottom view will remain hovering above the video. Click the screen again to enter full-screen playback mode.

Also, when you open a screenshot image for the first time, the image will be opened in full screen mode by default.

The UI design at the top of the album interface has also been adjusted, with the time and date moved to the center, and two function buttons placed on both sides.

Compared with the previous version, the photo album application is much easier to use. Users who are not satisfied with the photo album function of the previous version can consider upgrading.

Camera Control

This update adds a new option to the iPhone 16 camera control function, which can be literally translated as "requires the screen to be on." The button is turned on by default, and the screen needs to be unlocked when calling the camera control function.

After turning off the button, the camera control function can be called directly when the screen is off.

Find location sharing Chinese version

In the last version, Apple added the location sharing function to the search function, but it was not translated into Chinese. Now after the upgrade, it has been translated into Chinese, but some parts of the interface are still in English.

Chongqing Transportation Card

Apple also added a new "Chongqing Transit Card·Transportation Union Edition" to Apple Pay today, but this is not a feature that can only be used with iOS 18.2. It should also be available on older systems. Chongqing users can now use the transportation card.

The above are the main updates of iOS 18.3 Beta 3. Friends who have already upgraded in advance are welcome to share your experience in the comment section.
