• iOS 18 can do math calculations within any text field, using the keyboard.
• Apples iOS 18 will become available publicly this Fall, 2024.

Apples iOS 18 developer beta software became available soon after the WWDC 2024 event. We actually tested it already, if youre interested. Many users who dare venture into this experimental software are finding even more improvements Apple didnt even cover in its announcement, such as this one.

X user @rjonesy discovered that iOS 18 allows you to do math calculations within any text field, using the keyboard. So, when youre chatting with a friend and need to handle some math, you no longer need to look for the calculator app. Just type the problem right into the same text field, and iOS 18 will give you the solution. You can then opt to show just the final answer, or display the whole math problem along with the answer. You can see a sample in the image below.
