From fraud prevention in the Wallet app to improvements to FaceTime and Siri, Apple continues to optimize the user experience in every detail.
More security, an improved Siri and quality FaceTime
With iOS 18, Apple has introduced a new security measure in the Wallet app for those who add their ID to the iPhone. Now, to prevent fraud, instead of the typical head and face movements, users could be asked to take a Live Photo.
This photo will be analyzed by the device and Apple to verify that it is a real person who is sending the image, and that it is the same person who appears in the photo. This new feature is key to improving security in an area as sensitive as digital identification, which is becoming increasingly important in our devices and in the digital age in which we live.
An unexpected feature of iOS 18 is the improvement in Siri audio quality when the iPhone is connected to a car via Bluetooth, but without CarPlay. Users can activate the “Reply over media source” option in Settings → “Siri & Search” → “Siri Responses” → “When connected to car Bluetooth.” This promises improved interaction clearer and smoother with Siriimproving the driving experience in cars that do not support CarPlay.
