The iPhone messaging app can do math. This is the way
Apple releases iOS 26 This fall, and it will come Liquid glass And more features for you iPhone. but iOS 18 You can upgrade your messaging app to solve tricky equations without a calculator app, and you don’t need Google to search for conversion rates either.
Before iOS 18, if you want to find a way to split text message groups and bills from afar, you need to use the calculator app or spotlight before switching to message. iOS 18 allows you to perform multi-stage calculations on messages and convert currency, temperature, and more without switching apps.
Here’s how to perform calculations on a message: You can see too Other hidden features iOS 18 Bring it to your iPhone.
How to solve a message math problem
If you want to solve a mathematical equation in the message, enter the problem in the text field and add an equal symbol (=), and the solution appears in the predictive text field above the keyboard. Tap the solution to add it to the text.
Messages can be entered into a text field to solve simple mathematical equations such as “2+2 =”. The app can also solve equations that use more complex equations, such as sine, cosine, and tangent trigonometric functions. You need to include equal symbols (=) Whatever happens, at the end of each equation.
How to convert values in messages
Message value conversion works similarly to solving math problems in your app. Enter a value in the text box using the appropriate value marker (such as F in Fahrenheit or LBS in pounds) enter the equal sign (=), and the conversion will appear in the predicted text field above the keyboard.
If you do not indicate what to convert, predictive text will select what to convert. But don’t worry, the app won’t try to convert pounds into minutes. The message displays conversions to other similar units, so Fahrenheit is converted to Celsius and pounds are converted to kilograms.
By typing something like “min = from 60 hours, you can choose what to convert, and the message will display a 3,900 minute conversion in the predicted text field.
