The biggest update for iPhones is finally here! With Apple Intelligence, your iPhone now has a super smart Siri, visual awareness, and many other cool features. Let’s explore everything new!
Custom Emojis with Genmoji
One of the fun features is Genmoji. Have you ever wanted to create your own emoji? Now you can! If your friend sends you a funny message, you can open the keyboard and tap the emoji icon. Here, you will find a new option to create emojis. You can type in what you want, like “a giant nose with legs and shoes.” Once you are happy, just tap add, and you have a custom emoji!
If you keep swiping left, it will keep generating different options until you find the perfect one. You can even type in “me” or someone else’s name, and it will create emojis that look like you or your friends! This feature is so much fun to use!
New Siri Features
Next up is Siri. Siri has a new look and many new features. You can now type to Siri by double-tapping. This makes it easier to ask questions or give commands. Siri is also linked to ChatGPT, so if you ask a complicated question, you can choose to search the web or use ChatGPT for answers.
You can speak to Siri normally now. For example, you can say, “Set my alarm for 7 a.m.” and if you make a mistake, you can continue speaking, and Siri will understand. This makes using Siri much smoother!
Image Playground: Create Fun Pictures
Apple Intelligence introduces a new app called Image Playground. This app lets you describe an image or choose something from suggestions. For instance, if you describe a disco with an astronaut, it will create a cool image for you!
You can also choose someone from your photos, like yourself, and the app will generate images based on your description. If you want to add something like a robot in a cyberpunk city, just type it, and it will add it for you! You can choose different styles for your images, like animation or illustration.
Writing Tools: Enhance Your Messages
Another exciting feature is the writing tools. If you’re in messages and want to change what you wrote, you can select your message, tap on writing tools, and describe the change you want. For example, you can say, “Add a joke,” and it will do it for you!
There are also options to make your message more friendly or professional. You can proofread your text, summarize it, or even reformat it into a list or table. These tools help make your communication clearer and more fun!
Notes App: Generate Images
Your notes app has a hidden feature too! If you select some text, you can create an image based on that text. Just draw a circle around your text, and it will generate an image for you. You can also use the image wand tool to create a better version of your drawing!
This feature makes your notes look more fun and engaging. You can use it for any notes you take!
Photos App: New Features
The Photos app got a big upgrade! You can now remove unwanted people from your pictures using the cleanup tool. Just tap the edit icon, select the cleanup option, and it will recognize the people in the background.
You can also create memory movies! Just type a description like “My time in Paris,” and it will find all your Paris pictures and add music to it. Plus, you can search for specific photos by typing what you want, like “sunsets in Hawaii.”
Notifications and Mail Summaries
In your settings, you can turn on a feature called summarize previews. This feature will summarize your notifications so you can quickly see what’s important. In your mail app, every email will also be summarized into a single sentence, making it easier to decide what to read.
Web Summarization in Safari
When you browse the web, Safari has a new summarize option. If you tap on it, it will give you a quick summary of the webpage. This is great for understanding articles or long pages without reading everything!
ChatGPT Integration
With Apple Intelligence, you can also use ChatGPT directly on your iPhone. You can ask it questions, and it will provide answers. Siri will give you the option to use ChatGPT for more complex questions. This makes your iPhone even smarter!
Phone Call Recordings
One of the most exciting features is the ability to record phone calls. You can turn on call recording, and it will notify the other person that the call is being recorded. After the call, you can find the recording in the notes app, along with a transcription of the conversation. This is super helpful for keeping track of important details!
Conclusion
Apple Intelligence is here, and it has brought many amazing features to your iPhone. From creating custom emojis to smart Siri interactions and fun image generation, there is so much to explore. These features make your iPhone more fun and useful than ever!
