Following the release of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 beta 6, Apple has now seeded beta 7 of these upcoming operating system updates. In around a month, Cupertino will make iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 available to iPhone and iPad users, so the company is starting to wrap up the features it plans to release. With beta 5, Apple removed the Carousel from the Photos app and tweaked the “All Photos” section, with more images appearing on the photos grid. The “Recent Days” tab also includes “Recently Saved." In addition, Safari has a new Distraction Control feature. In the Reader toggle, you can find a new “Hide Distracting Items.” Apple says this doesn’t work as an ad blocker but helps hide distractful items from a page. With iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 beta 7, Apple is tweaking the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center. Now, apps can be organized in any way, which means they can be placed anywhere. App icons and widgets can take on a new look with a dark or tinted effect, and users can make apps appear larger to create the perfect experience for them. In the Lock Screen, it’s possible to choose new widgets instead of the Flashlight and Camera options. iOS 18 beta 7 keeps tweaking the Messages app with its powerful new features, including all-new text effects, personalized messages, tapbacks with any emoji, and scheduled messages. Users can also experience the new Passwords app. Built on the foundation of Keychain, the new Passwords app makes it easy for users to access their passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, and verification codes.  Lastly, Apple has released new features that let users lock and hide apps. When an app is locked or hidden, content like messages or emails inside the app is hidden from search, notifications, and other places across the system. Users can only unlock it with Face ID and Touch ID. BGR teaches you how to hide and lock iPhone apps in iOS 18. Alongside iOS 18 beta 7, Apple is also releasing the seventh testing versions of iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, macOS Sequoia, tvOS 18, and visionOS 2.

macOS Sequoia is the upcoming software update for Mac users. While Apple Silicon Mac users can try Apple Intelligence with macOS 15.1, Apple is also seeding beta 7 of macOS 15 for Intel Macs (or Apple Silicon Macs if you don’t want to try AI just yet). With this testing version, Apple continues to prepare the official version of this system for later this fall. These are some of the features users can expect to have once the final build is available. For Safari, macOS Sequoia beta 7 brings the long-awaited iPhone Mirroring feature, which was unavailable with the first beta. This Continuity function allows users to fully access and engage with their iPhone right from their Mac. Apple says that a user’s custom wallpaper and icons appear just like on their iPhone, and they can swipe between pages on their Home Screen or launch and browse any of their favorite apps. The keyboard, trackpad, and mouse on Mac also let users interact with their iPhone, and audio even comes through. In addition, macOS Sequoia beta 7 brings the following features to Safari: Highlights: That’s an easier way to discover information on the web, such as directions, summaries, or quick links to learn more about people, music, movies, and TV shows; Reader: A redesigned Reader includes even more ways to enjoy articles without distractions, featuring a streamlined view of the article a user is reading, a summary, and a table of contents for longer articles; Video detection: When Safari detects a video on the page, Viewer helps users put it front and center while still giving them full access to system playback controls, including Picture in Picture. With a new Passwords app, Apple wants to make it easy for users to access their passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, and verification codes. During the beta test, Apple also added new wallpapers for macOS. macOS Sequoia beta 7 also adds: Messages have received major updates to improve users’ expression and stay connected. These include all-new text effects, emoji and sticker Tapbacks, and the ability to schedule messages to be sent later. Apple Maps introduces even more ways to explore the world, including curated hikes and custom walking routes. Beginning this fall, users can browse thousands of hikes across all 63 national parks in the United States, filtered by length, elevation, and route type, and save them to use while offline. Photos now surface Collections, which automatically organizes a user’s library by helpful themes. The search feature has also been updated so users can get results quickly. Note-taking in Notes is getting smarter, making it easier than ever to take detailed and well-written notes. New audio transcription and summarization features with Apple Intelligence enable a device to take notes for the user, letting them stay present in a situation where they need to capture details about what’s happening. And if they need to quickly crunch a number, they can just type in an equation to have it solved automatically in their note body. Calendar shows events and tasks from Reminders, making it easy to see, edit, or complete tasks throughout the day. An updated Month View makes it easier to see events and reminders for an entire month at a glance. Alongside macOS Sequoia beta 7, Apple released the seventh testing versions of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, watchOS 11, and visionOS 2.

As we wait for Apple Vision Pro to potentially get Apple Intelligence, Apple seeds visionOS 2 beta 7 to Vision Pro users. While this update doesn’t bring many new features, it addresses several lacking functions users were waiting for in Apple Vision Pro. That said, this is what you should expect from visionOS 2 beta 7 at this moment: Spatial photos: With visionOS 2 beta, users can revisit past memories by creating spatial photos directly from their library in the Photos app.  Mac Virtual Display: It will feature a higher resolution and larger size, creating an ultra-wide display equivalent to two 4K monitors side by side.  Home View:  Users can now personalize their Home View by rearranging apps and placing them wherever they want, including their compatible iPhone and iPad apps visionOS 2 beta makes navigating Apple Vision Pro faster and easier for users to access key functions with new hand gestures to get to frequently used features like Home View and Control Center. New gestures allow users to see important information at a glance, like the current time and battery level, and perform actions like adjusting the volume. In addition, travelers can experience their favorite apps on the go with a new Travel mode for trains. visionOS 2 beta 7 also adds: Guest user: For those moments when a user wants to share their Vision Pro, a family member or colleague can be added as a Guest User and have their eye and hand data saved for 30 days. The Apple TV app brings support for multiview to Apple Vision Pro for the ultimate sports-viewing experience. Later this year, fans can watch up to five simultaneous streams to keep track of all their favorite sports and teams. To help users achieve calm and focus, the Mindfulness app includes a new capability called Follow Your Breathing that presents dynamic visual animations and sounds that respond to the user’s breathing patterns. Alongside visionOS 2 beta 7, Apple is also releasing the seventh test versions of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, macOS Sequoia, and tvOS 18.

A week after seeding beta 6, Apple is now releasing watchOS 11 beta 7 to Apple Watch developers. While this wearable won’t get Apple Intelligence, Cupertino follows the regular schedule of this upcoming software update, expected to be released later this fall. With watchOS 11 beta 7, Apple finally lets users customize their Activity Rings. Thanks to this change, the Activity Rings will understand planned rest days, injuries, or days off without affecting the award streak. It’s also possible to customize Activity Ring goals by the day of the week, so your leg workout might differ from the one you go for an outdoor run. Additionally, the Fitness app allows users to customize the Summary tab to show exactly the metrics they want to see, including their friends’. Apple’s watchOS 11 beta also introduced a new Vitals app, which focuses on health and well-being features. This app allows users to quickly view key health metrics and gain better context about their health. This Apple Watch app (alongside insights from the Fitness app for iPhone users) helps you understand if you’re on a typical range or if you’re overreaching or missing too many workouts. When two or more metrics are out of their typical range, users can receive a notification and a message detailing how changes in these specific metrics may be linked to other aspects of their lives, such as elevation changes, alcohol consumption, or even illness. With Training Load, it measures how the intensity and duration of workouts impact a user’s body over time. Training load helps users understand the strain on their body from workouts over the last seven days compared to the last 28 days. Apple says these insights can help you prepare for an event, such as a marathon, bike race, or your first 5K, or just make informed decisions about your training each day. In addition, Smart Stack adds new widgets, including Shazam, Photos, Distance, and more. It can also suggest widgets based on time, date, location, daily routines, and more. Alongside watchOS 11 beta 7, Apple is also releasing the seventh testing versions of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, tvOS 18, and visionOS 2.

Following the beta release of Apple Intelligence for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS Sequoia, Apple keeps the regular testing cycle of tvOS 18 with beta 7. As the official release nears, we’re still expecting Cupertino to add the new TV and Movies screensavers announced during the WWDC 2024 keynote. However, there are some features tvOS 18 beta testers can already try. Within the Apple TV app, Apple is adding three new features that will make everyday usage way better when enjoying Apple TV+ content: InSight: An Amazon Prime Video-like feature that displays timely information about actors, characters, and music from Apple TV+ movies and shows onscreen in real-time. Users can select an actor to view their background and filmography page or quickly view the song that is playing in a scene and add it to an Apple Music playlist. Enhance Dialogue: This feature is getting smarter, leveraging machine learning and computation audio to deliver greater vocal clarity over music, action, and background noise on Apple TV 4K. In addition to HomePod speakers, users can now enjoy Enhance Dialogue when listening through built-in TV or HDMI-connected speakers, AirPods, and other Bluetooth-connected devices, and when playing supported content on iPhone and iPad; Automatic subtitles: Subtitles now automatically appear at just the right moments with tvOS 18, including when the language in a show or film does not match the device language when users mute, or when they skip back while watching something. For those who prefer connecting an Apple TV 4K to a projector, tvOS 18 beta 6 brings one of its best features yet: 21:9 support for playing movies and shows. tvOS 18 also adds: Apple Fitness+: A redesigned interface helps users make the most of the library and explore the exercises they like the most; FaceTime with Continuity Camera: Apple adds Live Captions for English in the US and Canada, so users can read what others are saying on a FaceTime call from the TV tvOS 18 has even more features in store. Alongside its beta 6, Apple also seeded the sixth testing version of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, watchOS 11, and visionOS 2.

A new type of health AI assistant can accurately detect health conditions just by looking at your tongue. Medical researchers designed the assistant to look for specific colors and conditions on the tongue. The algorithm behind the AI has proven so effective that it can accurately detect the conditions the patient is suffering from 98 percent of the time. The new AI is part of the research detailed in a paper published in the journal Technologies. The researchers used 60 photos gathered from teaching hospitals in the Middle East and fed them into the algorithm. The photos were all taken from various patients, all of which were suffering from different conditions like COVID-19 and even gastrointestinal issues. Image source: catalin / Adobe In these tests, the AI health assistant was able to accurately detect which condition the patient was suffering from just by examining the color of their tongue. But creating this system was not an easy job. The researchers first took 5,200 photos of patients’ tongues and then added the corresponding information about their diagnoses using six separate ML algorithms. This allowed them to accurately predict the tongue color under any lighting condition, the paper reports. The researchers say that the color, thickness, and shape of the tongue can reveal a “litany of health conditions,” and building an AI capable of understanding that will help doctors discover and diagnose conditions much more reliably. While the process relies on a health AI assistant to do the heavy lifting, it actually builds on medicine practices that date back centuries, the researchers note in their paper. Being able to understand the condition of the tongue can help us understand what is going on in a patient’s body without needing to invade their privacy any more than required, and this kind of medical AI will only make that even easier.

A majority of U.S. voters say Democrats could have done better than Vice President Kamala Harris to be the party's presidential nominee, and nearly half say the process by which was elevated to the nomination was unfair, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll.

New York's Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul told Politico on Monday that she is seeking alternatives to the much-maligned congestion pricing initiative that she had previously paused in June.
