Apple just released its new Apple Intelligence features for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, available with the latest free software updates: iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. This new suite of tools aims to simplify everyday tasks, enhance privacy, and make devices even more helpful.
Key Features of Apple Intelligence:
- Writing Tools
- The new Writing Tools feature lets users polish their writing across apps like Mail, Messages, Notes, and Pages. It can rewrite text in different tones, check grammar, and summarize content into key points, lists, or tables.
- A Smarter, More Natural Siri
- Siri now offers a more conversational experience with a new design and can handle follow-up questions smoothly. Whether using text or voice, Siri now has a better understanding of user context and Apple product details.
- Intelligent Photos App
- Users can search photos and videos using descriptions like “Maya skateboarding.” The new Clean Up tool also allows users to remove unwanted items from photos, keeping their memories just as they want.
- Focused Notifications
- Priority Messages in Mail highlights important emails at the top of the inbox, while notification summaries on the Lock Screen help users catch up without opening each message. The new Reduce Interruptions feature filters only the most important notifications, helping users stay focused.
- Audio Summaries
- Apple Intelligence lets users record, transcribe, and summarize audio in Notes and Phone apps. If recording a call, everyone is notified, and a summary of the conversation is created afterward.
Upcoming Features of Apple Intelligence in December
In December, Apple will launch even more Apple Intelligence features, including customizable emojis, enhanced Writing Tools, and a new Camera Control on iPhone 16. Siri and Writing Tools will also integrate with ChatGPT, offering broader knowledge without leaving the app.
Enhanced Privacy
Apple Intelligence keeps user data private with on-device processing. For tasks requiring more power, Apple’s Private Cloud Compute protects data, ensuring no personal information is stored or shared. Users can opt into ChatGPT access while maintaining privacy protections.
Availability
Apple Intelligence features are now available in regions where the device and Siri language are set to U.S. English, with more language support rolling out in the coming months.
