iPhone WWDC Wishes: What We Want to See Apple Include in iOS 19

Apple should hold its global conference for developers on Monday, when the technology giant will show the world what it has prepared in the past year for iOS 19 – or iOS 26 – the software that executes the iphone. Until SOCNET experts have their own ideas on what Apple should bring to the iPhone.

While iOS 18 has brought new features useful to all iPhones, as RCS messagingAnd Apple Intelligence For new iPhones, we always take bets on what Apple will include in iOS 19. Reports Suggest that Apple provides a significant overhaul of the iPhone operating system, changing everything, icons, applications, menus and more. But CNET writers and publishers have some ideas that we would like to see in the next operating system. Some things we have asked for in the past, such as Customizable locking screen controlsWe are concluded, so maybe we will reach the brand again this year.

Here are some of the features and modifications that we hope that Apple includes in the next iOS software.

Bring a split screen to iPhone

Add a native divided screen. It is available on Android phones and the iPad for years. But on iOS, I still have to execute my calculator and my budget monitoring note in two separate windows.

Start training directly from my iPhone

I would like to start an outdoor training from the fitness application on my iPhone (as I can do in Strava or Polar). In this way, if I forget to wear my Apple Watch or I don’t have one, I can always save my training. THE Apple Watch uses heart rate data To calculate the travel minutes, but I do not see why the iPhone cannot give me a credit for a real drive using other indicators such as the distance / rhythm in progress.

No more green bubbles, please

I’m delighted that Apple added RCS messaging with iOS 18, but I’m going to dream big here: I love It if texts with Android users were not yet green! Although it is great to finally be able to send high resolution supports and see striking indicators with people who do not also use IMEAGE, it is still far too easy for iPhone users to make fun of anyone turning its green text wire. Finish meanness once and for all!

An easier way to manage unused applications

I have more applications on my iPhone that I will never use, after years to install things to try, then to forget them. Turn everything in the application library helps do it out of mind, but it’s the version of the application to keep a cable box that you may think you need a day. I would therefore like a way to clean the applications, similar to how you can identify large applications in Parameters > General > Storage. Let me see when I installed them, the last time I used them and I can delete those I don’t want anymore. I know it seems empty, but the idea of ​​browsing them manually is exhausting, so it will never happen.

Consultable clip manager available for all your copying and dough needs

I want a director of the clipboard in iOS 19. The iPhone has a single copy and collage option, which means that if you copy something, then copy something else, this first thing you copied is lost. For iOS 19, I would like to see a director of the consultable pitch, the one who has a story of all the things that I copied during the last hour, day, week or even the month. And if I stick something, I would like to see several options that I can choose to appear at hand.

More customization options for all screens

I want more locking screen, home screen and customization options for the control center, please. I would like to place my locking screen commands elsewhere on the screen so that I accidentally open no control – including, yes, my flashlight. Same thing with the home screen. I appreciate being able to place applications anywhere as long as they are in Apple’s oppressive grid that locks our applications in small boxes. If you have large icons – like me – there is an entire whole line at the bottom where it seems that applications or files can go, but they cannot. Let us breathe the air of freedom, Apple! Please, for the love of all that is good, allow me to move the scroll bar on the right side of the control center. I continue to hit him when I open the control center and it brings me to a page that I do not intend to be, which makes him frustrating to use.

Press in the long term, double click and more triggers of the action button

Now that the action button is on more iPhones, please add the support for the trigger for different shortcuts with several pressures. In its current configuration, I can define the action button to trigger an action at a time. By default, it can switch between lighting the ringtone and put your iPhone in silent mode. But there are a number of other options to be able to open the application of the camera and take a photo or make a automation made in the shortcut application as to use it to use it to use it to use it to use it to use it to use it to Order Dunkin ‘coffee’.

But the action button could do much more if Apple would add the support for several input clicks. As if it could be a rocking for the Ringer / Silent mode with a single long press, but do something else (like lighting / deactivating the flashlight) with a double-long press. I think that would add so much button features and, therefore, would open it to even more people while enjoying more.

Best Journal Video Publishing Tools

I want iOS 19 to add better publishing tools for newspaper video. The possibility of shooting images in newspaper directly on the iPhone is incredible for enthusiastic filmmakers like me, but it can only be changed by transferring it from your phone to an iPad or MacBook. I would like to see Apple bring deeper publishing tools to be able to add cinematographic notes to your newspaper images directly on your iPhone.

Intelligently organize the photos by event in the photo application

Okay, we are all happy that in iOS 18 Apple has improved the search for photos by adding an AI image recognition to make all the images of your cats appear. He slightly compensates for the dubious alcohol arrangement of photos and albums that confuse me to date. I would love that in iOS 19, the photos application had a new way of seeing the photos: in a chronology intelligently organized by event. Say that you go to the park for a birthday and that you clearly have a lot of photos at the same time – the application invites you to confirm that they are all connected, requests a title and, a boom, a recorded event. Then, I could look at a vertical chronology of the events recorded in the past few months or years, which can all be sought if I do not remember quite, let’s say, when I went to the park for the last time. Yes, I can do it manually by making albums, but it’s the kind of tedious work that I just can’t bring myself to follow. This is what I want the AI ​​to do for me.

Simple volume checks on the iPhone

Sometimes it is the small changes that can help make a more fluid experience. I want to see Apple clean the volume controls. If I define the volume at a certain level, I want it to stay at this level for all applications. Sometimes the parameters can vary depending on what you do. Too often, I encounter the problem of lowering my volume to prepare to listen to something – but surprise! – The volume is again strong because I put headphones and it keeps the strongest adjustment that I used the last time I listened to music in my earpiece. This simply leads to unnecessary frustrations and gives users that users do not really have control of their devices.
