Apple has released iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2, introducing a set of new Apple Intelligence features that include Image Playground, Genmoji, and enhancements to Writing Tools.
Camera Control also allows users to learn more about their surroundings with visual intelligence in the iPhone 16 lineup.
Writing Tools has gained a new feature called Describe Your Change, which gives users the flexibility to specify the change they would like to make.
Apple is enabling ChatGPT access to Siri and Writing Tools experiences within iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, allowing users to access its expertise and image and document-understanding capabilities.
Apple Intelligence will soon introduce more capabilities such as onscreen awareness of Siri, hundreds of new actions, priority notifications, and Sketch style to Image Playground.
Apple Intelligence uses on-device processing, meaning that many of the models that power it run entirely on the device, and for requests requiring access to larger models, Private Cloud Compute is used.
Apple Intelligence is available on iPhone 16, 15 series, iPad with A17 Pro or M1 and later, and Mac with M1 and later.
Apple Intelligence language expansion begins today with localized English support for Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK, with additional languages coming throughout the year.
Apple Intelligence is privacy-focused, with data from users only used to fulfill their requests and is not stored or shared with Apple. Independent experts verify the privacy promise.
iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 are available as free software updates across most regions worldwide.
