Apple upcoming today Second beta versions of iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2 updates has been presented to developers and a number of new features continue to be developed in addition to the Apple Intelligence features with new iOS updates.

Find my

Find My has a new option to ‘Share Item Location’ with a new ‘airline or trusted person’ who can help you find something you’ve lost. Selecting the Share item location option creates a link that allows someone to see the location of the lost item when they open the link.

The link can also be opened on a non-Apple device, so you don’t need an iPhone or Mac to tell someone the location of your item. Links expire after a week or when you find your lost item.

Siri ChatGPT limit

The ChatGPT section of Apple Intelligence for Siri now shows ChatGPT limits in effect for free users, with the option to upgrade to a paid ChatGPT Plus plan.

With ChatGPT integration, users can access ChatGPT for free, but only get a small number of responses using the latest ChatGPT-4o engine and a small number of DALL-E 3 images that can be created.

Battery life and phone temperature

Apple says in the iOS 18.2 beta 2 update that it has improved battery life and phone temperature.

App icons in settings

When you use dark mode, icons in the Settings app look darker on a black background, instead of icons being a solid color with white accents.

Camera controls

For iPhone 16 users, there is now the option to lock your autoexposure and autofocus settings with a light press. AE/AF lock can be enabled by going to Settings > Camera > Camera Controls.

There is now also an option to adjust Camera Control’s double-click speed. Options include Standard, Slow, and Slower.

iPhone mirroring with personal hotspot

With iOS 18.2, you can use iPhone Mirroring while sharing your iPhone’s Personal Hotspot connection with your Mac.

Previously, you couldn’t use iPhone Mirroring if your Mac was connected via Personal Hotspot.
