Apple will introduce advanced intelligence features on supported iPhone models with iOS 18.2, which is slated to rollout in December. Beyond Apple Intelligence, the platform update for iPhone will bring significant changes to Apple’s ecosystem, including the ability to set third-party apps as default services for various functionalities.

According to a report by 9To5Mac, the update will introduce a “Default Apps” menu in the Settings, allowing users to customise default apps across eight categories, including calling, messaging, keyboard, and password management.
