iPhone Calculator Has an ‘Epic’ Travel Hack – Here’s How to Use It | Travel News

A travel expert has revealed an exciting new feature hidden in Apple’s iOS 18 update that will revolutionize your travel experience.

Chelsea Dickenson, better known as a budget holiday expert, has discovered a clever improvement to the Calculator app – a very welcome addition for air travellers using different currencies.

Gone are the days when the humble Calculator app was merely a tool for performing complex calculations that could not be handled mentally.

With the latest iOS 18 update now available for download, users can transform their Calculator into a mobile currency converter.

In the latest clip, Chelsea said she was “absolutely delighted” with the development, after her previously favourite app began bombarding her with ads, which severely disrupted her experience.

“I may be sad, but this really made my day,” she said.

As reported by Mirror, the improved Calculator is not limited to just standard calculations; it now offers additional features that allow users to seamlessly switch between currencies and even perform conversions.

Sharing her joy with her fans, Chelsea posted: “Anyone else LOVE THIS or am I the only one who is sad?! Yes – the iPhone calculator now doubles as a currency converter.

“You just need iOS 18. I tested it and it works offline, although of course it will use the exchange rate from the last internet connection, but it will still be very helpful in giving an approximate amount!”

For iPhone owners and those looking to stay up to date with iOS 18, Chelsea offers detailed instructions on how to use the calculator, essential for currency conversions.

iPhone users can rejoice, as Apple iOS has introduced a handy feature that lets you convert units and currencies directly in the Math Notes section of the Notes app.

Say goodbye to third-party apps as you can now effortlessly write down or type equations like “50 m in feet = ” right into your notes.
