iOS 18.5 Public beta 1 update: what’s new

The iOS 18.5 Public Beta 1 bears similar changes that Apple introduced with iOS 18.5 Developer Beta 1 earlier this month. However, all these are minor additions and no major changes have been made in any app or facilities. As 9to5mac, it enables users to tap the contact photo of the mail app by tapping the three-dot option from the top-right corner of the screen.

This option was earlier available only in the iPhone Settings app, but now a new shortcut is also available in the mail app with updates. Additionally, users can also close the group by sender, categories and AI priority message options in the app through the same three-dot menu.

The update also brings visual enhancement on the alleged applecare and warranty coverage page, a new for Applecare coverage appearing in the Settings app. To find it, users need to be navigated on settings> general> applecare and warranty. The new option enables them to learn more about the coverage purchased by tapping the link.

With iOS 18.5 Public Beta 1, the iPhone users can manage their Applecare Plan by visiting their Applecare scheme and selecting a device from the device list.

With WWDC 2025 on the horizon, Apple is expected to work on the iOS 18 update and focus on the development of new features for its upcoming OS, known as omnipresent as iOS 19. However, official information is wrapped.
