What’s New in iOS 18.4 Beta 4
Updated on March 17, 2024
Back Tap Banner Removed
iOS 18.4 Beta 4 has removed the Back Tap Banner, the indicator at the top of the screen that appeared when the Back Tap feature was activated, first added in iOS 18.4 Beta 1.
Safari Recent Searches Toggle
A new option has been added to disable Recent Searches in Settings → Apps → Safari. This feature was introduced in Beta 1, but an option to turn it on or off was only added in Beta 3.
What’s New in iOS 18.4 Beta 3
Wallet
The Wallet app has updated the “Subscriptions & Payments” menu to “Preauthorized Payments” in Beta 3.
Back Tap Setting
iOS 18.4 Beta 3 introduces a new “Show Banner” toggle in Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap, which is enabled by default. This allows users to hide the Back Tap indicator when activated.
The indicator was first added in iOS 18.4 Beta 1, but there was no way to disable it until now.
Additionally, I haven’t noticed any significant changes after a few hours of using this update. If you find anything new, feel free to share it below!
