Apple is about to surprise users with iOS 18.3.1

With this update, Siri will be able to access text messages, emails, and calendars, making it easier for users to find information. For example, users can ask Siri, 'When and where should I take Mom to lunch this week?' and Siri will automatically check calendars, emails, and messages to provide the correct answer.

Additionally, iOS 18.4 will allow Siri to perform multiple tasks with a single command. However, before iOS 18.4 officially launches, Apple may release a surprise update called iOS 18.3.1. According to information from 9to5Mac, this update has appeared in internal visitor logs, indicating that Apple is testing it and may release it in the second or third week of this month.

The iOS 18.3.1 update is expected to fix a number of bugs, including battery drain issues on iPhone models since the release of iOS 18. It may also address issues that caused some devices to slow down and apps to crash. Apple previously released iOS 18.2.1 without prior notice, emphasizing that the update included important bug fixes.

Not only that, iOS 18.3.1 may also include security patches, which the iOS 18.2.1 update did not include. Users are also looking forward to the first beta of iOS 18.4. If you want to experience new features before they are officially released, you can join the beta program. However, keep in mind that betas can be unstable and may affect the performance of your device.

To join the beta program, users will need to back up their iPhone and go to beta.apple.com. After completing the instructions, they will receive a notification when the first beta of iOS 18.4 is available and update.
