iOS 18.2 Apple Intelligence Features
These features were announced a long time ago but due to development issues, it is now all set to include in iOS 18.2. Check here—
Image Playground
The AI Image Generation is now becoming a trend and Apple has also jumped in it. The New Image Playground allows you to generate some accurate images via your text prompt. Apple has brought up a lot of backtesting, so we are expecting the most accurate result over our text prompt.
Unfortunately, via the developer Beta and Public Beta test, the Image Playground still generates cartoonish images instead of the most accurate and natural images, but in the stable model, we can expect accuracy in the stable.
ChatGPT Integration in SIRI
The New SIRI is integrated by the ChatGPT which means the new Assistant will be now followed by the ChatGPT integration. Usually, ChatGPT saves some users’ data, but Apple has promised that the user IP Address will be masked and OpenAI can not store any requested user data.
Excitgenly iPhone users don’t have to sign up/sign in to the ChatGPT account, it will be live via the Apple Account.
GenMoji & Image Wand
GenMoji is also based on AI and allows you to create some emojis based on your chats it can also be stored on your keyboard and you can use it in the future, on the other hand, the Image wand is also a great thing in this update.
The Image wand allows iPad users to turn their sketches into full-fledged natural images via a few text prompts, how you want to design your sketches.
New Camera Controls
Apple is now featuring some new & exciting camera controls. As you know, the touch-sensitive camera button is available in the iPhone 16, now users can lock the exposure and focus also by double tapping on it.
This option is activated by default but when you need to activate or deactivate it, you can find it in the Camera Control options in the Settings menu.
Find My App
If you even use Android, then you may know about Google’s Find My Devices, which is also inspired by the same. The Find My app will be updated, allowing users to share the locations of their lost items, making it easier for others to help recover them.
