Chelsea Dickenson, better known as the Cheap Holiday Expert, uncovered a nifty enhancement to the Calculator app – a much-welcomed addition for jet setters dealing with different currencies.

Gone are the days when the humble Calculator app was merely a tool for tackling those complex calculations you couldn’t handle in your mind.

With the rollout of the latest iOS 18 upgrade now ready for download – users can transform their Calculator into an on-the-go currency converter.
