People think this one iOS 18 feature is going to ‘ruin relationships’
The new Apple update is now available to download and comes with a variety of new features
People are all saying the same thing about a new feature that's part of the iOS 18 update.
The highly anticipated update became available for Apple customers on Monday (September 16), and it comes with a host of new features.
Some of these include changes to the Photos app that will allow users to see around 30 pictures on the screen, instead of a list of tabs when you open the app.
The iOS 18 update also allows iPhone owners to record and transcribe live calls.

However, another feature has left some people divided as some quipped it could easily 'ruin relationships'.
With iOS 18, people will have the ability to lock and hide certain apps on their home screens.
The Apple website explains: "iOS 18 gives users tools to manage who can see their apps, how their contacts are shared, and how their iPhone connects to accessories. Locked and hidden apps offer users peace of mind that information they want to keep private, such as app notifications and content, will not inadvertently be seen by others.
"Users can now lock an app, and for additional privacy, they can also hide an app, moving it to a locked, hidden apps folder.
"When an app is locked or hidden, content like messages or emails inside the app are hidden from search, notifications, and other places across the system."
In regards to contacts, the new update 'lets users share only specific contacts with an app, and developers can offer users a more seamless and private experience when connecting third-party accessories with iPhone'.
Demonstrating how the new features works with a screen-recording on Twitter, someone suggested it will 'ruin so many relationships'.
"Ain’t nobody safe with this update," another person wrote.
"Playboys don't need multiple phones anymore," joked a different person.
Elsewhere someone said that 'sh*t got real' with the update.
People should be warned that iOS 18 isn't available on all iPhones, but if you have a device that's from 2018 onwards then it's likely you'll be able to download it.
Some that are eligible for the update include the Phone XS and XS Max, iPhone 11, iPhone SE 2, as well as Apple's newest model, the iPhone 16.
Pre-orders for the iPhone 16 started last week ahead of the devices hitting shelves on Friday (September 20).
It's reported that around 37 million units of the new phone have been preordered already.
