The latest and soon-to-release iOS 18 has revealed massive new features for different built-in apps, including Apple Weather, the dedicated climate tracking service from Cupertino. Last WWDC 2024, it was announced that Weather is getting two new nifty features under the iOS 18 upgrade, improving more on what it has to offer users.
iOS 18: Apple Weather Gets Two Nifty Upgrades From Cupertino
Weather may be one of the most used apps on the iPhone, but that does not mean it is forgotten. The upcoming iOS 18 update from Apple will deliver two new features for users to enjoy.
According to 9to5Mac, these new features center on improving the climate tracking feature available for users, offering more information about what to expect for the day.
Weather's 'Fees Like' Temperature Gets a Top Bump
The first update for Weather is the "Feels Like" display that will now be seen on top of the app, under the big temperature reading for one's area. The big number, either in Celsius or Fahrenheit, is the actual weather taken from the national weather data, says Apple, and it is different from the "Feels Like," which dictates what would most likely be the case on the ground.
Most of the time, the actual and feels-climate differ in several numbers, as it may be hotter or colder in experience than it is on the forecasts.
Having the Feels Like bumped to the middle and top of the page would give users more information about what to expect for the day and being prepared with the gear they need to adhere to the climate.
Temperature for Home and Work on Weather
Users may only set one main weather forecast showing their location's temperature in a given area. While there is also an option to add other locations for traveling, not much can be said for nearby places or cities.
According to the report, iOS 18 will deliver new temperature readings on weather that will display both home and work forecasts on the app. This is done through Contacts, which pulls up one's information on their home and workplace, which Weather can now access to deliver both to a user.
This feature has been made available to Maps for easier navigation from home to work or vice versa, and Weather is now its latest recipient, allowing it to track different locations at once.
What to Expect from iOS 18?
This WWDC 2024 announcement for iOS 18 is true to the many claims about this being the "biggest update yet" for Cupertino's iPhone experiences, especially with the upcoming arrival of Apple Intelligence. While Apple may not have jumped into this last year, they ensured that this late 2024 release would deliver useful features for all to enjoy.
Apart from that, iOS 18 also massively focuses on the likes of iPhone's Game Mode, which improves performance and capabilities, iMessage's RCS, new Personalization features to customize the home screen, and more, alongside these new Weather app upgrades.
