IPHONE fans have discovered a new hidden button feature in the upcoming iOS 18 update that has been described as “revolutionary”.
Apple’s long-awaited iPhone update is available to try for free – and every day users discover new secrets.
The obvious changes Apple already announced a few months ago include greater customization so you can freely move apps around on the home screen and even giving all app icons a consistent color scheme.
Users are also excited about the new hidden folder for apps you don’t want anyone to know about.
And there are even some changes to the iPhone flashlight so you can control the light more than ever.
But now another feature has emerged – which is the ability to switch quick apps that appear on the lock screen.
Until now, you were forced to have the torch on the left and the camera on the right.
But in iOS 18, you can change it to any app of your choice.
So maybe Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram – it’s up to you.
This means iPhone owners can access their favorite apps from the lock screen without having to unlock and find them.

The switch saves a bit of time, with fewer taps needed to get where you want.
But Android users have also criticized the idea, saying the rival device has it “forever”.
