Apple's recent iOS 18.4 update introduces a new feature called Cooking Mode within the News app, enhancing the cooking experience for users. Offering over 70,000 recipes, this mode guides home cooks through an intuitive step-by-step process. Users can customize searches by meal type and save favorites, while a dedicated Food section organizes recipes by cuisine and dish type. Additional features include timer functions and visual aids for each recipe. As part of a larger rollout, iOS 18.4 also improves messaging capabilities with RCS support.
