Apple published the first public version of iOS 18.4 on February 24, more than a month after the release of iOS 18.3. While the beta versions of iOS updates may include features that do not go to your iPhone, Apple announced on February 21 This functionality of the beta version will be available when iOS 18.4 will be released in April: a new Apple Information section entitled Food.

The new section will offer publication recipes like Good Housefend, Food & Wine and more. You can also find other stories related to food and restaurant.
Beta developers and testers can now access this feature, but as it is still in beta version, it could be buggy or have other problems. If you want to try the new feature now, before it is published to the general public in April, I recommend downloading the beta iOS 18.4 version on something other than your main device.
Here is what you need to know about Apple News Food in iOS 18.4.
What is Apple News food?
Apple News Food is a new section of the Apple News application which will be available on all iPhones in April at the release of iOS 18.4.
“With the new food feature, users will be able to find stories organized by Apple News publishers, as well as by research, research and tens of tens of thousands of recipes in the recipe catalog – with new recipes added every day,” wrote Apple in an email.
How to access Apple News Food?
1 and 1 Open news.
2 Faucet Following In the lower right corner of your screen.
3 and 3 Faucet Food.
You will see options for Catalog of recipes And Recipes recorded Near the top of the page, and you can scroll down to see other recipes and articles. You can also press the fork and knife symbol in the upper right corner of your screen at any time in the food section to access the Catalog of recipes. Once you are in Catalog of recipesThe fork and knife symbol will be replaced by a box symbol that you can press to access your Recipes recorded.
To save the recipes, press a recipe that interests you, then press To safeguard. The recipe will be stored in your Recipes recorded.
How much does Apple News food cost?
The food section is free for everyone, but the free version gives you access to a few stories and recipes every day. With the free version of this section, I could access recipes like $ 1 million sausage balls And this Avocat-Tomato cucumber sandwich. I am not a difficult eater and I will gladly try both, but I could not access many other recipes that interested me with the free version.
However, if you subscribe to Apple News Plus ($ 13 per month) You have full access to the food section. This means that you can browse a catalog of thousands of recipes and items, record recipes in your own digital cooking book and access offline recipes. The recipe catalog facilitates the search for dinner ideas, vegetarian recipes and even cocktails.
Can you do something else with Apple News food?
You can also access what Apple calls Cook mode in Apple News Food, which will display the instructions step by step in full screen on your device. You will see a step at a time, but you will have to slide on your screen to go to the next step. I tried to ask Siri to go to the next stage, and the digital assistant ignored my pleas. This could be a problem if you cook and your hands are covered with flour, fat or anything you don’t want to get on your phone, but you should always go to the next step.
This function prevents your iPhone from falling asleep or engraving the screen. Which is good, because then you don’t have to unlock your phone every minute to make sure you follow the instructions (not that I have never done that or anything).
The cook mode can also show you a full list of ingredients for each recipe by typing Ingredients Near the top of your screen. This means that you don’t have to write a list of ingredients the next time you go to the store.
However, you cannot copy and paste these ingredients or news instructions in another application, such as notes. You can share a link to the recipe or save it as a quick note, but if you want to ask your roommate or partner to pick up some ingredients while they have come out, you cannot easily copy and paste these ingredients in a message.
To access the cook mode, press an application recipe you want to try, then press Cook.
Do not forget, this feature is always in beta version, so there is a lot of time for Apple to change or adjust it. I hope that Apple adds Siri integration, so I don’t bite my phone into the meatball fat. Beta developers and testers can try Apple News Food Now, and everyone will have access to it in April when Apple released iOS 18.4.
