Your favorite all-in-one business toolkit, built to empower solo entrepreneurs, just got even better with the latest iOS 18 updates. Designed to elevate your experience, these enhancements redefine how solo entrepreneurs manage their ventures.

Zoho Solo continues to be a game-changer for visionary professionals, and we're excited to bring you even more cutting-edge features. Simplify your business management and streamline operations so you can focus on what truly drives your success: growing your business.

Let's dive into the exciting new Apple updates for Zoho Solo!

Add contacts from the lock screen camera 

With iOS 18, adding business contacts has never been easier. Thanks to the Camera Capture Extension, you can now scan business cards from your lock screen and add them directly to Zoho Solo—without even opening the app. No more carrying stacks of business cards or worrying about missing potential leads. You can even edit contact details before saving them. Convenient, right? And that's just the beginning! Keep reading to uncover all the exciting new features.

Seamless communication with business contacts 

Whether you're making calls, sending messages, or even FaceTiming, the Contact Provider Extension enables you to communicate with your business contacts just like you would with your phone's native contact list. View your business contacts in Zoho Solo as a separate, neatly organized list alongside your personal contacts, while keeping them distinct. You can easily manage this in your device settings to get complete control over your network. Isn't it great when a business app adapts to all your communication needs?

Quick contact access from your phone 

Import contacts from your phone with just a click of the Contact Access button. Simply type in a first or last name and view similar contacts from your phone while ensuring you protect your privacy by restricting access to other contacts. Plus, you can edit any details as needed before adding them to the app. It's a seamless, time-saving feature designed to keep you moving forward.

Make Siri your business assistant 

Get the job done without missing a beat—especially when you're juggling multiple responsibilities. With Zoho Solo's App Intent feature, you can now count on Siri to handle essential tasks with simple voice commands. Imagine you're driving and need to reschedule a meeting; just ask Siri to adjust the appointment, and you're all set—without ever taking your hands off the wheel. Experiment with different Siri commands and share your favorites in the comments!

Swift actions from Control Center 

To simplify your experience further, we've introduced Control Center Actions for key features. Now you can add these functions to your control center as icons and execute actions right from your lock screen. Whether it's adding contacts, processing payments, or tracking expenses, you can handle most business activities with these shortcuts. Get more done faster and stay ahead with a single tap—all from your lock screen.
