iOS 18.2 beta release from Apple now enables creation of AI-based junk emojis
With iOS 18.1 barely out the door, Apple enthusiasts are already buzzing about the next big thing in the world of Apple Intelligence: iOS 18.2. This developer beta introduces some exciting features, including the much-anticipated integration of ChatGPT.
Anyone eager to dive into the beta can sign up, remembering to safeguard their data by backing up before installation. After installing the update, users gain access to ChatGPT through a revitalized Siri or the Writing Tools function. Apple ensures users must repeatedly grant ChatGPT permission to access the internet or their data, and connecting your OpenAI account unlocks additional features.
The new Siri will handle more complex tasks, such as writing requests, and present suggestions in a separate window. However, it won't breach your privacy by accessing your personal files or data. While some advanced features may mirror Google's Gemini and Gemini Live, the extent of these remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, the headline features, Image Playground, Genmoji, and Image Wand, promise to revolutionize user interaction. Image Playground, an AI image generator, allows you to create images based on your Photos. Genmoji lets you create unique emojis, and Image Wand turns rough sketches into AI-generated images.
Furthermore, the new Visual Intelligence feature, exclusively available on iPhone 16 models, enables users to identify objects, scan QR codes, or translate text using their camera. Mail app enhancements categorize emails more effectively, and a new Volume Limit control protects your speakers from damage.
Find My improvements help locate misplaced items, a camera control side-button offers enhanced features, and other improvements include bug fixes, security updates, new widgets, and health and fitness features. Expect the official rollout by mid-December, making sure you're all set for the new year with the latest improvements in Apple Intelligence.
