The iOS 18.1 beta 5 released this morning fixes one of the two bugs I mentioned yesterday in Power On that were present in beta 4. There’s also a new button to reset Control Center to the factory layout. https://t.co/Eh0Rgsr42H

Apple has released the fifth developer betas of iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1. The updates offer new features aimed at improving user experience through Apple Intelligence. The Apple Intelligence suite includes writing tools for text editing, spell checking, grammar correction, tone adjustment, and text summarization. It also provides contextual assistance, with a subtle glow around the display and a “Type to Siri” feature for interacting with Siri without speaking.
Safari now includes an article summarization feature and a “Reduce Interruptions” Focus Mode.
