If you like Apple’s Freeform app, it’s rumored to receive a significant feature boost in the iOS 18 upgrade.
The current word around the campfire is that the Freeform app will receive a new “Scenes” feature in iOS 18 that improves navigation across large boards.
Freeform is Apple’s basic rendition of an infinite canvas app and collaboration tool. It lets users attach images, links, text, and more to a whiteboard that can scroll forever in any direction.
At present, navigating across an essentially infinite board can prove challenging without being able to jump to different locations easily. This is where the upcoming “Scenes” feature could allow users to select specific sections of the Freeform board to jump quickly. They would act as anchor points that exist as a piece of UI that appears near the zoom controls.
In addition, scenes can be edited, shared, synced, and collaborated on via iCloud. Switching between the scenes could be possible through software arrows or keyboard commands. Jumping between scenes could use the Option + Command + ] or [ to go to the next or previous scene, respectively.
It’s unknown as to whether this feature will make the final build, and the current source of this rumor can’t be verified for its reliability.
Apple’s upcoming iOS 18 and macOS 15 operating systems will be announced during WWDC in June. After a summer beta period, they will be released to the public in September after the fall iPhone announcement.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
