The Google Translation Tool was a better and more varied option compared to the Apple and iPad translation tool, providing wider language support and more accurate translations. With the iOS 18 update, Apple now enables users to change the virtual translation tool to a third -party option like Google Translate. Here’s how to do this and what you need.
As part of the broader policy changes to comply with the European Union regulations, Apple now allows more user selection in virtual applications such as browsers and payment methods. Some of these features also flow worldwide, which is beneficial to users outside the region.
This includes an amendment to the translation function on iPhone and iPads, which can now support the preparation tool for an external authority to replace Apple. Google is the first to adopt this new change through the Google Translate app for iOS and iPados.
Why is Google’s translation use as a virtual translation on iPhone?
Google Translate provides many advantages on the embedded Apple tool, including support for more languages. The online search giant translation is also attributed to more nervous learning, capable of very accurate translations with less errors, and supports additional formats such as conversation mode.
Previously, the negative aspect was that Google Translate worked only when arriving manually through the application or while browsing with Chrome, which was not smooth like its position like the virtual system. This restriction has now changed with the latest update.
What do you need to change the default translation application on iPhone
The basic function was presented with iOS 18.4 and iPados 18.4. However, Google’s support for this new virtual setting was launched with the latest version of the Google Translate app.
This means that users will need to update iPhone or iPad to iOS 18.4 (or more iOS 18.5, which have been shipped a week ago) and download the latest Google Translate application to enable this feature. Of course, these old models are not eligible to update iOS 18, such as iPhone X, and older iPad models, which are not supported by this feature.

- Go down and choose Applications.

In the same settings, you can manage whether you want to adjust Google Translate as a translation tool for Apple Intelligence and Siri and search, which is enabled by default.
By translating Google already, it was already set as the virtual translation application, translation will work at the level of the system, such as texts in different applications such as browsers and document editors. You may also need to confirm your choice the first time that Google’s translation is used as a default setting.
