Apple is releasing iOS 18 public beta 3 for eligible iPhone users enrolled in its public beta testing programme. Followed by beta 5 release, the public beta brought a similar set of enhancements in user interface and new set of features. Among the few notable additions, the most important one is the all new “Distraction Control” feature in Safari browser that allows users to selectively hide unwanted content from webpages.
In a recent rollout, Apple launched a new feature for its native web browser Safari that lets users remove certain elements from a webpage that the user might find distracting.
Under the page menu interface on Safari, there is now a new “Hide Distracting Items” option available. Selecting the option will enable the user to manually select each element from the webpage that they wish to remove. This includes webpage content such as sign-in pop ups and overlays. The feature also allows users to unhide previously hidden content by selecting the “Show Hidden Items” option from the same page menu interface.
The Cupertino based giant said that the feature is not meant to be an ad blocker since the users are enabled to block them while the Distraction Control feature is being used. Once the web page is refreshed, the ads will re-appear.
In addition to this, there have also been changes on the Photos app based on user feedback. The carousel view has been removed by that it was introduced with the new operating system. Carousel view allowed users to swipe and view picture highlights that were updated every day.
