How do you get the “likely spam” warning? Is a third party app or iOS 18 itself? Is it only available on UK? Does it rely on any website or database?
Thank you.

Do you think there’s a risk of someone saying “cam” near you, and triggering your camera? Or maybe it’s using Machine Learning voice recognition? If you have some geek friends by your side, you could ask them to say “cam” to your iPhone and see what happens
But yeah, those voice shortcuts along with the ability to move the pointer with your eyesight (that’s a bit clunky from what I saw on YouTube), are great features.
Actually, afterI set this up, camera started opening spontaneously. So I disabled it last night and was planning to come up with a less frequently heard word as the trigger today. The problem is, despite having turned off vocal controls altogether something is causing the camera to open by itself every few minutes even in smbient silent conditions (it’s happened twice as I write this post, for example). Ugh.Do you think there’s a risk of someone saying “cam” near you, and triggering your camera? Or maybe it’s using Machine Learning voice recognition?

Feedback time!
And yeah the eyesight tracking thing has a lot of potential but is not yet ready for prime time. More feedback!

And it appears on the screen like on @Paddle1 screenshot? I wonder if those apps would work in Spain, for Spanish spamcallers…
Is iOS 18 or 17 a requirement? Or does it work on iOS 16 as well?
I don’t seem to be getting the new Record button when on a phone call. Guessing it hasn’t been enabled in B1. Anyone else see it? I’m on an AT&T 15 Pro Max.
That’s part of Apple Intelligence, I think (it’s on the Apple Intelligence page on their site) which is in beta later in the summer.
in iOS 17 dark mode had dark widgets with “light” (only option) icons and it seems that combination is no longer possible in iOS 18, icons and widgets are either now both dark or both light unless I’ve missed something?
The spam warning in my screenshot is just a feature of the Canadian carrier I was using that automatically flags incoming calls from numbers they believe to be suspicious. Sorry for the confusion. It does work on iOS 17 as well, not sure about 16.
Actually call recording is on the regular iOS 18 page. I haven't seen it in the beta though.
Actually, it’s on both. I missed it on the iOS 18 page, after you said, I checked both and definitely on both pages. That’s confusing!
It’s just not in the beta yet, and will come in a later one, I guess.
I just checked, and I can confirm it is not possible.
9to5mac did posted a news that you now can use math calculations in every text window - just type for example “5+7-9= “ and it shows the result above the keyboard ! That’s so nice
In Health, you can specify a specific number of days or end date for a medication schedule.
ETA - If you set an end date, you get a warning that the schedule will not appear on non-iOS/iPadOS 18 devices.

I don't know if this was already mentioned...
Not only did iPadOS 18 finally included a Calculator app, the iOS 18 Calculator app seems to have the same features including Math Notes...

Far too many times I get calls from people in error because they went to hang up but the other line hung up before them and they hit my number from the recent call list. I love that they changed this design. At minimum, I wish they would add a pop up when you press a recent call asking you if you want to call this number.
The classic scenario: during a call and trying to tap the red end button to end call but the other party tapped it faster than you. So it ended tapping accidentally the contact name in the recent call list that it is in the same height with the end button. If u know what I mean. And these days with the fast 4G and 5G networks there is no delay between tapping and hearing the calling sound. So embarrassing.
Agree fully on the accidental calls. Coming from android this has been one of my annoyances.
Another is related to the messaging app and not knowing which line the text came from. Meaning, one name with a work cell number and a personal cell number. I cannot tell which number the text is from. It got to the point I needed to add a second contact entry. So I have First name, Last name_personal and _work. I haven’t seen that mentioned as being fixed.
