Apple’s App Store has rolled out a new feature that lets users search for apps using natural language.
This update, which came with the iOS 18.1 update in October, is now visible for the first time for some iPhone users, including me.
The new feature allows users to search in a more conversational way. For example, instead of typing keywords like “fitness apps,” you can simply type “Apps that help me work out.” This makes searching for apps easier and more intuitive.
When I tried it out, I searched for “emulators that feature multiple consoles” and found the Delta app, which was exactly what I was looking for.
However, when I searched for “Video games that can help me work out,” the results weren’t quite what I expected, with apps like “Twerk Race 3D” showing up instead.
Despite some quirky results, the feature is an improvement. It makes searching for apps more user-friendly and accessible, especially for those who may not know the exact app name but have a general idea of what they need.
