Until then, you could opt-in for the public beta Applereleased yesterday.

The Control Center has also become decidedly Android-like with its notification shade-style additions.
Apples version is relatively stringent, but its polished in a way thatkeeps users devoted to the platform.
The likelihood of that happening is low, considering the company likes delivering a polished experience.

I can see that reflected in the new Home Screen customization options.
it’s possible for you to place icons wherever you want, but its still within a particular rail.
If minimalism is your thing, iOS 18 makes setting up a nearly empty Home Screen easier than before.
Developers havent done much beyond what seems like code converted from Android to iOS.
Less is better in the Control Center
The Control Center can also be customized to your liking.
A more prominent button means less margin of error when Im feeling scattered.

Is this ability reminiscent of Androids Quick options in the notification shade?
Sure, a little.
Androids Quick prefs panel can be busy, especially on smaller displays.
Its also an excellent excuse to audit some of your accounts and eliminate anything changed or deactivated.
Dont forget the improved Apple Photos app, revamped with a cleaner interface and better album curation.
It fits nicely with the ethos of this new version of Apples mobile operating system.
As forRCS support,it seemsto work for some public beta users.
