Apple has launched new features in its Apple Intelligence suite with the release of iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2. This update introduces tools for visual expression, enhanced writing capabilities, and integrates ChatGPT for users in various regions.

Apple launches iOS 18.2, new features enhance creativity and communication

With this update, Apple Intelligence has become more accessible, now including localized English support for Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K. Additional languages, such as Chinese, French, German, and others, are set to arrive throughout the year, enhancing global reach. Users need devices like the iPhone 16 or Mac with M1 or later to access these new features.

One of the standout features, Image Playground, enables users to create unique images easily. Through this tool, users can add text descriptions and generate images reflecting family members or friends, using photos from their libraries. Image Playground supports various styles, including Animation for a modern, 3D-animated look, and Illustration, which uses clear lines and colorblocking to create distinct visuals. It is available directly in Messages and as a standalone app.

Genmoji takes emoji interactions further by allowing users to create personalized emojis based on descriptions. Users can enhance these Genmoji with customized accessories, making conversations more engaging and expressive. This feature is seamlessly integrated into messaging apps, enabling easy sharing.

Furthermore, updates to the Notes app introduce Image Wand, a tool that transforms sketches into polished images. By simply circling drawings or empty spaces, users can generate relevant images that enhance their notes. Image Wand can produce images in Animation, Illustration, and Sketch styles, adding a visual layer to text-based information.


Apple’s Siri is finally catching up thanks to LLM-powered features


Writing Tools and visual intelligence integration

The Writing Tools feature has been upgraded to include a new option called Describe Your Change. This allows users to specify adjustments they wish to make to their writing, providing greater control over how their text is expressed. Users can access these tools across various applications, making tasks like enhancing resumes or creatively rewriting invitations more intuitive.

Visual intelligence has also advanced with the introduction of Camera Control on the iPhone 16 lineup. This feature allows users to instantaneously learn about their surroundings by summarizing text, translating languages, and detecting useful information such as phone numbers. Users can utilize third-party tools like Google directly from the camera interface, providing a comprehensive understanding of the context around them.

Additionally, the integration of ChatGPT into Siri and Writing Tools offers users access to its powerful capabilities without switching apps. Users can ask Siri for assistance on complex queries, which may trigger a prompt to access ChatGPT. This integration enhances efficiency in generating content and completing tasks.

Apple emphasizes privacy in these developments through on-device processing for most functions. For tasks requiring larger models, the Private Cloud Compute mechanism ensures user data remains secure without being stored or shared. Independent experts have begun scrutinizing Apple’s privacy framework, affirming their commitment to user confidentiality.

Looking ahead, Apple plans to implement more features into Apple Intelligence. These include enriched Siri capabilities that respond more intelligently to user context and notifications tailored to individual priorities. Upcoming updates will also enhance the capabilities of Image Playground and introduce even more styles for image generation.
