Apple to Release iOS 18.2 With Expanded AI Features in December

Following the release of iOS 18.1 with Apple Intelligence, Apple has announced that iOS 18.2 will be released in December.

New Apple Intelligence features will be available in December, with additional capabilities rolling out in the coming months.

Here's an overview of the new artificial intelligence features that will arrive as part of the iOS 18.2 update...

Apple Intelligence will add new ways for users to express themselves visually. Emoji will be taken to an entirely new level with the ability to create original Genmoji by simply typing a description, and can also be personalized using a photo of a friend or family member. Image Playground will allow users to create playful images in moments. Image Wand will make notes more visually engaging by turning rough sketches into delightful images. When a user circles an empty space, Image Wand will create an image using context from the surrounding area.

In December, Writing Tools will get even more powerful with the ability for users to describe a specific change they want to apply to their text, like making a dinner party invite read like a poem, or adding more dynamic action words to a résumé. And users will have the option to access ChatGPT's broad world knowledge within Writing Tools and Siri, allowing them to benefit from its image- and document-understanding capabilities without needing to jump between tools.
Also coming in December, a new visual intelligence experience will build on Apple Intelligence and help users learn about objects and places instantly, thanks to the new Camera Control on the iPhone 16 lineup. Users will be able to pull up details about a restaurant in front of them and interact with information — for example, translating text from one language to another. Camera Control will also serve as a gateway to third-party tools with specific domain expertise, like when users want to search Google for where they can buy an item, or benefit from ChatGPT's problem-solving skills. Users are in control of when third-party tools are used and what information is shared.

In the months to come, Priority Notifications will surface what's most important, and Siri will become even more capable, with the ability to draw on a user's personal context to deliver intelligence that's tailored to them. Siri will also gain onscreen awareness, as well as be able to take hundreds of new actions in and across Apple and third-party apps.
