Both iOS 17 and especially iOS 18 have given iPhone users some major new features, but it’s hard not look back fondly on iOS 16. Personalizing your lock screen and editing iMessages are something you see or use potentially on a daily basis, so its presence is still felt today. 

Another small, quality of life feature update released in iOS 16 was the ability to view and copy your Wi-Fi passwords much easier than previous versions of the OS.

Apple’s Photos app has undergone a revamp courtesy of iOS 18. With the new operating system, currently in public beta, the app automatically organizes your photo library into collections based on topics. And if you don’t like the default collections, you can tweak them according to your preferences.

You’ll still find the usual grid of photos that you can view based on years or months. You can sort and filter your photos to display them in a certain order. But now you’ll also discover collections for specific photos and videos, including Recent Days, People, Memories, Albums, and Featured Photos.

Also: You can now easily move your photos from Google Photos to iCloud Photos. Here’s how

AVG and Avast share a spot on this list because they are the same app. We don’t mean that they just share the same features (which they do) or are owned by the same company (which they are). They are the exact same app, right down to the UI. Below are a couple of screenshots from AVG Mobile Security:
