iOS 18.1 Beta 3 Release Overview

What’s New in iOS 18.1 Beta 3
Clean Up Tool in Photos
The Photos app now features a new tool called “Clean Up.” This tool helps you remove unwanted objects from photos easily.
- Simply select the Clean Up option in the photo editor.
- Tap, brush, or circle the object you want to remove.
- The feature allows for precise editing with pinch-to-pan and zoom options.
- It can detect faces, letting you obscure them for privacy.
- Apple Intelligence suggests objects you might want to remove, making it easy to get rid of them with a quick tap.
AI Notification Summaries for All Apps
iOS 18.1 beta 3 extends the notification summaries feature to all apps, not just Messages and Mail.
- This feature provides a summary of full messages or conversations.
- You can choose which apps to receive summaries from.
- You can turn the feature on or off entirely.
Removal of US Region Restriction
Previously, Apple Intelligence was only available in the US. Now, iOS 18.1 beta 3 lifts this restriction.
- As long as your device language is set to US English, you can use Apple Intelligence no matter where you are.
- This feature is still not available in the EU and China due to regulations.
New Setup Walkthrough
After installing iOS 18.1 beta 3, you will see a new setup walkthrough.
