A week after seeding the fourth public beta of iOS 18, Apple has now launched version 5. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, this will likely be the latest version before Apple seeds the Release Candidate version ahead of its official release in September. While Apple Intelligence is only available for iPhone 15 Pro users testing the iOS 18.1 beta, there are several features available to everyone. In the last iOS 18 public beta, Apple added the Thanos snap feature. Actually called “Distraction Control,” it’s available in the Reader toggle in Safari and lets you hide distracting items, such as cookie pop-ups and other parts of websites. Apple says this doesn’t work as an ad blocker, but it helps hide distracting items from a page. Based on user feedback, Apple has also removed the Carousel from the Photos app and tweaked the “All Photos” section, with more images now appearing on the photos grid. The “Recent Days” tab also includes “Recently Saved.” Besides that, iOS 18 public beta 5 introduces a revamped Home Screen. You can place app icons and widgets wherever you like. You can also quickly transform an app into a widget by long-pressing it. This level of customization makes my Home Screen even more unique. Speaking of customization, the new Control Center also makes my iPhone even more useful. With it, you’ll be able to customize your Control Center, add more Home shortcuts, and even see some of the settings more easily. The new Passwords app makes it easier to access your passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, and verification codes. I can’t wait for Apple to add support for credit cards. Finally, we've got SharePlay screen sharing. With it, users can take over other people’s iPhones remotely by using SharePlay screen sharing over FaceTime. In addition to the iOS 18 public beta 5, Apple has seeded the fifth public beta version of iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, tvOS 18, watchOS 11, and HomePod Software. Below, you can learn more about the latest changes through this beta cycle.

In a wild twist to your typical zoo visit, archaeologists have uncovered an ancient treasure trove of history right under the noses of the animals at Guangzhou Zoo in South China’s Guangdong Province! Imagine one minute strolling past the giraffes and the next uncovering a 2,100-year-old burial site – which is what happened between April and July 2024, when an archaeological team dug deep into a construction area at the zoo and unearthed a whopping 148 tombs. 5-meter-long ancient scroll painting is one of the most precious treasures of China The Ancient Chinese Healing Art of Qigong A Time Capsule of China The team from the Guangzhou Municipal Institute of Cultural Heritage and Archaeology deduced that they hadn’t just uncovered a random bunch, but a time capsule spanning centuries: from the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) all the way to the early years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The excavation, covering about 1,300 square meters (3300 square feet), was like opening a book of history that had been buried beneath the zoo for millennia, reports The Global Times.
