iOS 18 Will Introduce These India-Focused Features Later This Year

iOS 18 — Apple's upcoming operating system update for eligible iPhone models — will arrive later this year with features tailored to users in India. These include new customisation options, improved language support for the default keyboard, Siri, and Translate app. Meanwhile, iOS 18 will also introduce improved controls for users who have two phone numbers. Developer betas of iOS 18 and other operating system updates from the company are already available to test, and these are expected to roll out to users in the coming months.

After updating to iOS 18, users will be able to access a new toggle in the redesigned control centre, that can switch between two SIMs on an iPhone, bringing the experience on par with most Android smartphones that also allow users to switch between their primary and secondary SIM cards.

Some features introduced on iOS 17 are also making their way to users in India on iOS 18 — Live Voicemail Transcription and Live Caller ID. These features allow users to see a real-time transcription of what a caller is saying, when a call is sent to voicemail. The update will also introduce T9 searching and dialling support, along with improvements to call history searches.
