iOS 18.5 arrives with a new wallpaper for Pride Month

Apple pushed iOS 18.5 on Monday. The most eye-popping new feature is a new wallpaper to honor the LGBTQ+ community ahead of Pride Month. Apart from that, the iPhone update isn't exactly a barnburner, with only minor features and bug fixes.

Apple's Pride Harmony wallpaper has bold, colorful stripes that change position as you move, lock or unlock your device. You can find it in Settings > Wallpaper or by long-pressing on your lock screen. If you're an Apple Watch owner, you'll find a corresponding Pride Harmony watch face in watchOS 11.5. That can pair well with Apple's new Pride Edition Sport Band, which went on sale earlier this month.

Apart from that, there are only a couple of (barely) notable features in iOS 18.5. The Mail app has a new option to show or hide contact photos within the app. (Before, you had to dig into Settings.) Tap the three-dot context menu and toggle "Show Contact Photos." There's also a redesigned AppleCare and Warranty banner in the Settings app with an option to "Learn more about coverage." (Do try to contain your excitement.)

As always, you can install the update by heading to Settings > General > Software Update.
