what's going on YouTube GSN right here
0:02
Apple today released the iOS 18 beta 5
0:06
and this beta introduces a brand new
0:08
feature that is actually quite amazing
0:11
and this feature is actually part of
0:13
safari I'm going to demonstrate it in a
0:15
couple of seconds now if you go in here
0:17
on the general if you want to get the
0:19
beta you go to software update and of
0:21
course you're going to have the iOS beta
0:23
but if you don't have the beta update
0:25
like this in here in iOS 18 developer
0:28
beta then it means you have to download
0:30
the Apple developer application from App
0:32
Store and sign in with your Apple ID
0:34
with that out of the way the feature I'm
0:36
talking about is related to Safari you
0:38
would think that you would go here to
0:40
Safari in settings so apps and Safari
0:43
and there should be something to
0:44
configure however it's not part of this
0:46
what they introduced is essentially an
0:48
ad blocker for Safari so now you don't
0:51
need to use any sort of ad blocker on
0:53
iOS it just looks like this so I am on
0:55
yahoo.com and as you can see we have a
0:58
couple of ads over there maybe some hero
1:00
images like these in here now they have
1:02
a feature to hide whatever you don't
1:04
like from the page so you tap in here
1:06
this little button at the bottom and you
1:08
have hide distraction items so you tap
1:11
on this and it allows you to select
1:13
anything from the page let's go ahead
1:15
and hide that ad so I'm tapping the ad
1:17
and tap hide it poofs with an animation
1:20
and that's it it's it's gone so if you
1:23
want to hide for example this image over
1:25
here I'm going to go hide it and that's
1:27
it so then you press done and you can
1:29
see you don't have it on page anymore so
1:32
you can do so with essentially any item
1:34
on the page and it remembers that you
1:36
did it it's not a fullblown add blocker
1:39
however it does allow you to hide
1:41
anything that gets in the way of you
1:42
reading an article or whatever so you
1:44
can see we can essentially get rid of
1:46
this let's say I want to get rid of this
1:49
chart over here it's gone press done and
1:51
now we have a full view with only the
1:53
news Let's see we have this ad over here
1:56
pretty annoying we tap in here Hide
1:58
distracting items and we select the ad
2:00
and we tap hide and as you can see the
2:02
rest of the content flows very well very
2:05
nicely back into the view so this is
2:07
pretty nice if you press cancel it goes
2:09
back to whatever it was in there so
2:11
essentially it's undoing the option and
2:14
then if we go ahead in here on the
2:15
little eye you can essentially see
2:18
everything you've hidden so show hidden
2:20
items and you can see here show
2:22
everything is back the way it was so
2:24
this is a brand new feature in iOS 18
2:27
beta 5 pretty nice I would definitely
2:29
advise it to check it out and it can
2:31
actually be pretty useful if you don't
2:33
have an ad blocker on Safari essentially
2:35
since a lot of websites do have a lot of
2:37
advertising that's how many websites
2:39
survive these days with advertising so
2:42
if you find it pretty hard to read the
2:44
articles you can use this new feature
2:46
it's built in you don't have to install
2:47
anything so thank you for watching I am
2:49
Gio snow till the next time subscribe to
2:51
stay updated peace out
