◆Image generation app 'Image Playground'
The image generation AI app 'Image Playground' is now available on iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS 15.2. Below is a screenshot of Image Playground released by overseas media 9to5Mac. With Image Playground, you can perform operations such as 'generate images from text,' 'specify people to include in the image,' and 'change images from illustration style to anime style.' However, it seems that the number of subjects that can be included in an image is limited to one.
◆Genmoji: Create emojis with generative AI
'Genmoji' is a feature that can be used within the messaging app, and instead of sending existing emojis, you can send AI-generated emojis. The 'Genmoji' creation screen can be accessed from the emoji selection screen, and by entering a description in text, multiple emojis that fit the description will be generated and can be sent.
You can also generate new emojis based on photos of faces or existing emojis.
◆Siri and ChatGPT integration
ChatGPT has been integrated into Siri, and a new feature has been added that will present you with the option to use ChatGPT when you are asked a question or instruction that Siri cannot answer.
It is also possible to send data such as images to ChatGPT, and a notification requesting permission will be displayed every time data is sent.
◆Visual Recognition
For the iPhone 16 series, installing iOS 18.2 will enable the feature 'display information about the subject captured by the camera.'
◆Setting default apps
A new setting item called 'Default Apps' has been added to the Settings app in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, allowing you to set default apps for 'Mail,' 'Messages,' 'Phone,' 'Phone Filtering,' 'Web Browser,' 'Password Manager,' and 'Keyboard' from a single screen.
◆Expanding regions where Apple Intelligence is available
Apple Intelligence was previously only available in the US in English, but it is now available in the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa in the beta versions of iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2 and macOS 15.2.
'iOS 18.1' is scheduled to be officially released on Monday, October 28, 2024, and the official release dates for 'iOS 18.2', 'iPadOS 18.2', and 'macOS 15.2' have not yet been decided.
