The aim of this new version, which is expected to be released in spring 2025, is to give users more freedom and control over their devices. This update will allow users in the EU to set default apps for navigation and translations as they wish for the first time. This is a response to the European Union&#039;s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which is intended to promote more competition and choice for consumers. Apple is therefore continuing to adapt to European requirements.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple&#039;s iOS system is known for its consistency and its closed ecosystem, which has so far relied heavily on the use of Apple&#039;s own apps. However, the new EU legislation, the so-called Digital Markets Act (DMA), is bringing a breath of fresh air to this structure. This legal framework requires major technology providers such as Apple to offer users more freedom in selecting and configuring their standard apps, which ensures more variety and competition. For you as an iPhone or iPad user, this means: From iOS 18.4 onwards, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/legal\/dma\/NCS-October-2024.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decide<\/a>which apps are used for navigation and translation as standard on your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-von-apple-bestatigte-neuerungen-in-ios-18-4\">New features in iOS 18.4 confirmed by Apple<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Default apps for navigation and translations: In iOS 18.4 and the parallel iPadOS 18.4, you have the option to set alternative navigation and translation apps as default apps. This means that you are no longer solely dependent on Apple Maps or the Apple Translate app. Instead, you can set Google Maps, Waze or Google Translate as the default.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why the update is important: This innovation is not just a question of convenience. It ensures that you can use the apps that you like best or that best meet your needs. The freedom to choose the default apps is also an important step towards more competition in the app market and offers users alternatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wie-du-die-standard-apps-in-ios-18-4-einrichtest\">How to set up the default apps in iOS 18.4<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step by step to individual app selection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the new \u201cDefault Apps\u201d section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the desired app under \u201cNavigation\u201d and \u201cTranslate\u201d (possible from iOS 18.4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This way, you can ensure that your iPhone or iPad automatically uses the app you prefer without having to remove Apple&#039;s own apps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-die-motivation-hinter-apples-entscheidung\">The motivation behind Apple&#039;s decision<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Digital Markets Act as a driver: The EU is demanding that tech giants open up their platforms to fair competition and give users the freedom to choose their default apps themselves. Apple&#039;s reaction to the DMA shows that established providers are also willing to adapt to the new market conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More control for users: With this change, Apple gives users the opportunity to customize their device more to their personal preferences. This should be particularly exciting for those who already use alternative apps and can now integrate them seamlessly into their everyday lives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-erweiterte-optionen-bereits-ab-ios-18-2-verfugbar\">Advanced options already available from iOS 18.2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the beta version of iOS 18.2, Apple has offered EU users the option to select a default browser app, email app, phone app and other default applications. These functions are expanded with iOS 18.4 by the selection of navigation and translation apps and enable even more comprehensive customization of your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apfelpatient.de\/en\/news\/ios-18-2-allows-the-deletion-of-core-apps-in-the-eu\">iOS 18.2 allows deletion of core apps in the EU<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apfelpatient.de\/en\/news\/ios-18-2-new-features-for-managing-standard-apps\">iOS 18.2: New features for managing default apps<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-neue-moglichkeiten-zur-personalisierung-in-ios-18-4\">New ways to personalize in iOS 18.4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With iOS 18.4, Apple is bringing more freedom and flexibility to iPhone and iPad users in the EU. The introduction of the option to choose default navigation and translation apps marks a significant step towards personalizing the Apple ecosystem while strengthening competition in the app market. For you as a user, this means more control and a more pleasant user experience, as you can now specify the apps that work best for you.
