These 2 hidden functions will soon come to Apple Cards

Apple cards gets better every year and the new functions of iOS 26 are continuing that trend. You can expect these 2 hidden features.

These hidden functions come to Apple cards

New discoveries in the Bètacode of iOS 26 indicate that Apple has two new functions for the app cards in store. Steve Moser, editor -in -chief of Macrumorshas recently shared a description of the new functions on X. Neither functions have already been announced by Apple.

Improved search function

In the past year, the search function has gradually improved in various Apple apps, including photos, music and TV+. Moser discovered code in the beta version of iOS 26 that indicates that the same improved search function will soon also be introduced in Apple cards. The code includes:

Search the way you talk
Use Natural Language to Find Places Like “Best Coffee Shops with Free Wi-Fi.”

Search as you talk
Use natural language to find places such as ‘The best coffee bars with free WiFi’.

The new function ‘Search as you talk’ in Apple cards is made possible by Apple Intelligence and already makes a big difference in apps that have already implemented this function. The function will undoubtedly also make Apple cards a lot more user -friendly.

Preventing overheating

The second discovery of Moser relates to protecting your iPhone against overheating.

Maps Will No Longer Keep Your Screen On To Allow Your iPhone to Cool Down.

Tickets no longer keep the screen on, so that your iPhone can cool down.

Apple is currently forcing the screen of the iPhone to remain on during active navigation. The idea is that the route description is always visible in this way. However, the downside is that this can lead to overheating. Especially when you have attached your iPhone on a sunny day on the dashboard and hung on the charger.

We expect Apple iOS 26 to make the general public available in September and that applies to the new functions in Apple cards. Moreover, the iPhone 17 series is then marketed.
