Apple today released the first beta of iOS 18.2 for developers, and while it's only available on devices that support Apple Intelligence, there are many features that will be available to everyone when the software is finally released.
This guide highlights all the new features we've discovered so far in iOS 18.2.
Apple Intelligence
There is a suite of new Apple Intelligence features introduced in iOS 18.2, including Image Playground and Genmoji. This is a much more interesting update than iOS 18.1 thanks to the image generation feature. You'll need to check out our launch post for full details of what's included, but here's a quick overview.
Learn more videos.- Image Playground - There is an Image Playground app and messaging integration for creating stylized images based on prompts and images of you and your friends.
- Image Wand - The Image Wand is used to add images to your content already written in the Notes app. On iPad, you can use Apple Pencil to sketch, then use the Image Wand to turn it into a better sketch.
- Genmoji - With Genmoji you can create custom emojis. It's similar to Image Playground, but with smaller emoji sizes. Users with iOS 18.1 will see Genmoji and even get information about them, but they can only be created in iOS 18.2. In earlier versions of iOS, they appeared as images.
- Siri ChatGPT - Siri can now hand off requests to ChatGPT, a fully opt-in feature. You don't need an account, and anything you ask Siri can be sent to ChatGPT if you choose. ChatGPT has more advanced information than Siri and can also generate images andtext. If you'd like to make it easier to forward requests to ChatGPT, you can turn off the "Ask every time" setting so Siri doesn't always need your permission to contact ChatGPT. Siri integrated with ChatGPT supports screen responses so you can do things like ask "What's in this photo?" When you view the image.
- Visual Intelligence - On iPhone 16, Visual Intelligence can be used to identify objects and places around you. Press and hold the Camera Control button to enter Vision Intelligence, then point iPhone at an object. If the camera is filming a restaurant, you can get the time and comments, copy the text, read the text aloud, search for the item on Google, ask ChatGPT questions about the object, and more.
- Writing Tools - Rewritten writing tool functionality is no longer limited to three styles. You can describe the tone or content you want, such as adding more dynamic words or turning the email into a poem.
- Languages - In iOS 18.2, Apple Intelligence supports English for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK in addition to US English, so if you're in Canada you no longer need to set your iPhone to US Apple Intelligence is available in English.
