With the advent of iOS18, the iPhone camera app is set to evolve significantly, promising a smoother and more enriched capturing and editing experience than ever before. This release is touted as the largest update in the history of the photo app.

For the first time, some models will feature 'Apple Intelligence', allowing for more personalized shooting and editing, offering even more options for creative expression.

Never Miss the Perfect Moment

In iOS18, the camera app's shooting experience will undergo a major transformation. New shooting modes will allow instant selection of optimal settings for subjects and scenes. For instance, in fast-moving scenes, the shutter speed is automatically adjusted to capture clear, blur-free photos.

Additionally, the newly added 'Dynamic Focus' feature automatically tracks the subject's movement, ensuring no moment is missed. This will make shooting sports and action scenes more enjoyable and easier.

The photo app in iOS18 will see a significant enhancement in editing capabilities. With 'Apple Intelligence' integrated into the editing process, AI will automatically suggest optimal corrections, enabling professional results with minimal effort. Furthermore, AI will automatically select filters and effects suited to the scene, allowing for easy creative expression.

The newly introduced 'Cleanup Tool' detects and automatically removes unwanted elements in photos, making portrait and landscape photos more refined. This makes advanced photo editing techniques more accessible and enjoyable.

In iOS18, organizing captured photos and videos is expected to become dramatically simplified. The new photo app will automatically organize the library using AI, grouping photos by categories such as travel, events, and portraits. Additionally, 'Apple Intelligence' will automatically select the best shots daily and display them in a carousel format, allowing easy access to memorable moments.

This will make reviewing photos and sharing them with friends and family more intuitive and enjoyable than ever.


With the official release of iOS18 scheduled for this fall, the iPhone camera and photo app will reach new heights, transforming the entire process from capture to edit and organization into a more comfortable experience. For many, this update will be one not to miss.
