In addition, iOS 18.5 has improved the category feature. When a user swipes left in the category bar, the\u201cAll Mail\u201d category will be selected, and clicking on the other categories will uncheck it, making email management easier.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, iOS 18.5 brings satellite functionality to the iPhone 13 series, allowing users to text their location even when they&#8217;re out of range. For now, the feature is only available to T-Mobile users and is in Beta, but will be available for specific packages in July.<\/p>\n<p>The update also introduces the option to tap the back to display a banner. Users can enable this feature in their settings, and when they double-or triple-click the back of the iPhone, a banner will appear at the top of the screen, enhance the intuitive and convenient operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple iOS 18.5: bringing satellite functionality to the iPhone 13 series On May 13th, CNET reported that Apple had released the iOS 18.5 update, bringing a number of useful features&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263,249],"tags":[2328,2329,2330],"views":345,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5356"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5356"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5356\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5358,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5356\/revisions\/5358"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
