All the new features coming with iOS 18.2!

Apple introduced the first beta version of iOS 18.2 for developers last night. This version is only available on devices that support Apple Intelligence, but it contains many new features that will be accessible to everyone once the full version is released. In particular, the innovations brought by Apple Intelligence offer a more fun and interactive experience compared to iOS 18.1. Here are all the new features coming with iOS 18.2.

ALL THE NEW FEATURES COMING WITH IOS 18.2!

iOS 18.2 offers various features that provide more intelligence and interaction with Apple Intelligence. This update stands out especially with its fun and creative tools like Image Playground and Genmoji. Here are some important Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.2:

Image Playground: This new application offers a platform where you can stylize images of your friends or yourself thanks to messaging integration. It allows you to make changes to themes or images you have determined.

Image Wand: Working integrated with the Notes application, Image Wand is a tool that allows you to add images to your written content. You can turn rough sketches you draw with Apple Pencil on iPad into more stylish and professional-looking visuals.

Genmoji: This feature allows you to create your own custom emojis. Genmoji is similar to Image Playground but offers personalization in smaller emoji sizes. Devices with iOS 18.1 installed can see Genmojis, but they can only be created with iOS 18.2.

Siri ChatGPT: With iOS 18.2, Siri can direct your requests to ChatGPT. This is entirely up to user preference; it does not require an account, and your permission is obtained for Siri to send every request to ChatGPT. ChatGPT can provide more comprehensive information than Siri and can generate both text and visual content.

Visual intelligence: Introduced with the iPhone 16, this feature helps you recognize objects and places around you. You can activate this feature by long-pressing the Camera Control button, view restaurant reviews, copy text, and ask questions to ChatGPT.

Writing tools: You are no longer limited to just three styles. You can describe the tone or structure of your content, turn an email into a poem, or add more dynamic words.

Language support: With iOS 18.2, Apple Intelligence is becoming available in other English-speaking countries such as the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa.

APPLE ARCADE AND OTHER FEATURES

Apple Arcade: A new drop-down filter menu has been added to the “All Games” section of Apple Arcade. Game previews have now become optional.

Mail app: iOS 18.2 offers new categories for important emails, deals, newsletters, and transaction emails. Additionally, a new view has been provided where larger images belonging to contacts and workplaces are added and all emails from the same person are grouped.

Voice memos: You can now edit by layering two audio recordings on top of each other.

EU – deleting apps: Users in the European Union can now delete core apps such as the App Store, Safari, Messages, Camera, and Photos.

Default apps: iOS 18.2 introduces a new “Default Apps” section in the “Apps” tab. Here you can manage your default applications such as Email, Messaging, Calling, Browser, and Keyboard. In the European Union, there is also an option to choose non-Apple search and messaging apps.

Volume limit: A new Volume Limit option has been added to the Sounds & Haptics section in the Settings menu. This option provides the ability to limit the iPhone’s speaker output volume.
