iOS 18.4 Beta Brings AI-Powered Reviews & App Downloads

CUPERTINO, California, March 07, 2025 – Apple’s latest iOS 18.4 ​beta version is full of new features, including AI-generated exam summaries for the App Store and an enhanced download management system. These updates aim to simplify ​user experience and improve the discovery of applications. In addition, beta introduces visual intelligence to iPhone 15 Pro models, previously an exclusive iPhone ​16, ​as well as fresh emoji additions.

The exam summaries generated by ​AI reach the App Store

One of the most intriguing updates of iOS 18.4 beta 2 is the introduction of AI review summaries for applications and games. ​Apple Intelligence will now ​analyze user feedback and generate a concise summary, providing a quick view of the strengths and weaknesses of an application.

According to ​Apple, ​AI will bring together the highlights of several user reviews in a short paragraph, focusing first on positive ​aspects before summarizing any critical feedback. These summaries will be updated weekly to reflect the ​latest user sentiment.

The functionality is first underway in the American ​App Store for English comments. ​Apple plans to expand its support to other regions and languages ​later this year. This follows Amazon’s implementation of AI’s 2023 e-commerce platform ​e-commerce review.

How IA exam summaries ​improve the ​App Store experience

The Apple movement aims to make App Store navigation more efficient. Instead of going through dozens of opinions, users can look at a brief summary to determine if an application meets their needs. This should help discover applications, especially for users who prefer a quick review before downloading.

However, IA reviews also raise concerns. Some fear that they can be manipulated, developers trying to inundate opinions with positive comments to summarize the ​summaries. Apple says it ​will allow users to report inaccurate or misleading summaries by pressing the review for a ​long time, offering protection ​against possible abuse.

iOS 18.4 presents a pause button for app downloads

Another ​improvement in ​the ​quality of life in iOS 18.4 is the possibility of suspending app downloads. Previously, users could only cancel and ​restart downloads if they had slow ​Internet speeds or had to keep the data.

With the new pause button, users can temporarily stop a download and ​resume it later without losing any progress. This is particularly useful when it comes to updates to large applications or slow network ​connections.

The feature brings ​iOS more online with other platforms, such as Android and desktop ​operating ​systems, which ​have long supported payment and reloading downloads.

Visual intelligence extends to ​the iPhone 15 Models pro

IPhone ​15 Pro and Pro ​Max owners also receive an update via ​AI with iOS 18.4. Visual intelligence, previously exclusive to iPhone 16, is available in old Pro models.

Visual intelligence allows users to ​analyze objects, milestones ​and text ​through their iPhone camera. By pointing the camera in an object, users can search for related information online or request information based on ChatGPT.

Since the ​iPhone 15 Pro lacked the dedicated camera control button on iPhone 16, Apple has introduced new ways to access ​the function. Users can now activate visual intelligence via the Action button or control center.

How to use visual intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro

• Go to Settings and navigate to the Action Button settings.
• Select Visual Intelligence as the assigned action.
• Aim the camera at an object and hold down the Action button.
• Alternatively, swipe down to open Control Center and tap the Visual ​Intelligence option.
• Choose Search to run a web search or Ask to receive AI-generated insights.

New month reach iOS 18.4 Beta 2

As part of iOS 18.4 beta 2, Apple introduced nine new emojis from Unicode Emoji set 16.0. These new additions ​include tremor head, phoenix and lime, among others. The update also changes the Syrian emoji flag to reflect the country’s new official design.

Interestingly, although ​the new emojis are available, they have not yet been ​fully integrated into Apple emoji keyboard ​categories. However, users ​can ​find them looking for specific emoji names.

Official ​launch schedule for iOS 18.4

Apple’s beta test cycle ​suggests that iOS 18.4 will officially launch in ​late March or early April 2025. The first beta arrived just ​over ​a week ago, ​giving developers early access to test new features.

As with all ​beta software, Apple can adjust or refine the features before the final version. ​Historically, the main iOS updates are subject to several beta iterations before being made available to the general public.

With AI-driven exam summaries, ​enhanced application downloads and enhanced visual intelligence, iOS 18.4 is configured to be an important update for ​iPhone users.
