Apple’s first iOS 18.2 beta adds more AI features and ChatGPT integration

Apple is now letting developers try more Apple Intelligence features. The company has released the first developer beta of iOS 18.2, and it adds tools like the ability to generate emoji with Genmoji and images with Image Playground, more AI-powered writing features, integration with ChatGPT, Visual Intelligence to search with your camera on iPhone 16 phones, and more, according to 9to5Mac. With this beta, Apple Intelligence is now supported in more regions, too.

iOS 18.2 will bring the second batch of Apple Intelligence features to users. The first batch, including features like a slightly smarter Siri and notification summaries, is set to launch next week with the official release of iOS 18.1.

Apple debuted its planned Apple Intelligence features at WWDC 2024 in June, but at the time, it announced that the upgrades would be arriving in stages. One of the most impressive planned features is for Siri to understand what’s happening on your iPhone’s screen and take actions based on your requests, but that’s still not here even in iOS 18.2.

Apple has also released the first macOS Sequoia 15.2 developer beta with new Apple Intelligence tools as well, 9to5Mac reports. Genmoji apparently isn’t included in that beta.
