Photos and search for iOS 12 also received updates.

In other words, both players will see the same scenario through their phones’ displays. Dubbed ARKit 2.0, the upgrades add the ability for multiplayer AR games on separate devices. Other iOS 12 updates, as my colleague Dan Howley predicted, include updates to Apple’s augmented reality software tools.
