iOS apps that build their own social networks on the back of users’ address books may soon become a thing of the past.
In iOS 18, Apple is cracking down on the social apps that ask users’ permission to access their contacts — something social apps often do to connect users with their friends or make suggestions for who to follow.
To give users more control over the contacts an app can and cannot access, the permissions screen has two stages.
Before that, apps like Poparazzi and Clubhouse had demanded full address book access — a growth hack that helped them quickly expand their networks.
iOS 18 will let users decide which contacts an app can access.

Apple TV+’s new feature appears to be similar to Amazon’s X-Ray technology, where Fire TV users get an overview of actor bios and behind-the-scenes information while watching TV shows and movies.
To use “InSight,” Apple TV+ subscribers can use their remote to bring up a display with actor names and character information in real-time.

Apple announced at WWDC on Monday that iPadOS 18 will include a new “Smart Script” feature that will clean up your handwriting when using an Apple Pencil to write in Notes.
With Smart Script, Apple says it’s making handwriting your notes even smoother and straighter.
The feature improves the appearance of your writing as you write by using on-device machine learning to recreate your handwriting from your notes.
If you need to add to something you have already written, you can tap and hold with your Apple Pencil to create more space.
Apple says Smart Script makes your handwritten notes more effective, fluid and easer to read.
