Introduction
As an iOS developer, you are constantly switching between different apps on your phone to stay up-to-date with the latest information. With the release of iOS 18, there have been some changes to how you can switch between apps, making it even easier and more convenient for you.
New Features in iOS 18
One of the biggest changes in iOS 18 is the new App Library feature. This feature replaces the old app folders, allowing you to organize all of your apps into one central location. To switch between apps in the App Library, simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap on the app that you want to use.
Another new feature in iOS 18 is the new Control Center widgets. With Control Center widgets, you can add your favorite apps to the Control Center, allowing you to quickly access them without having to swipe up from the bottom of the screen. To switch between apps in Control Center, simply tap on the app that you want to use.

For example, I use the App Library feature to quickly find the app that I need, and the Control Center widgets to add apps that I use frequently to the Control Center.
