Until now, Apple has required users to enter Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode to view certain content, such as 'Notes' in the Notes app, or 'Recently Deleted' and 'Hidden Albums' in the Photos app.
However, to further strengthen privacy and security, Apple will require Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode to open Apple-made apps such as Mail and Messages in iOS 18. In addition, MacRumors, an overseas media outlet, said, 'It has not been confirmed whether this feature works with third-party apps other than Apple.'
It has also been reported that iOS 18 will include a feature that automatically darkens the icons of apps displayed on the home screen when the device's dark mode is turned on. MacRumors speculated that 'this feature will initially be limited to Apple's native apps that are pre-installed on the iPhone, but an API will probably be provided that allows third-party apps to support dark mode.'
In addition, Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that ' details of generative AI features will be announced in the second half of 2024 ,' so it is expected that iOS 18 will include many AI features. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that iOS 18 will upgrade the AI voice recognition assistant Siri, allowing you to use various app functions in detail.

According to the overseas media Apple Insider, apps such as Books, Calendar, Camera, and Contacts will be compatible with the enhanced Siri. For example, in Books, you will be able to 'read out the title of a specific book and open it,' 'open a recently read book,' 'open your book library,' and more. In addition, in the camera, you will be able to use Siri to perform actions such as 'switch between taking photos and recording videos,' 'switch camera modes,' and 'switch between the front and rear cameras.'
WWDC24, where iOS 18 with these features is expected to be announced, will be held in the early hours of June 11, 2024.
