Explore the 10 exciting iOS 18.2 features you won’t want to miss
The beta version of iOS 18.2 introduces exciting new features for users to explore, such as the Image Playground app and enhancements in writing assistants.
Create Custom Images and Emojis
iOS 18.2 debuts the Image Playground app, allowing users to generate custom images from text prompts, similar to online image generators. Additionally, users can insert images into notes and create Genmojis, custom emojis based on text descriptions.
Motion Indicators on the Dynamic Island
The motion indicators feature, beneficial for individuals susceptible to motion sickness during car rides, now extends to the dynamic island. This feature displays directions in a convenient location, reducing the risk of motion sickness.
Screen Mirroring with Hotspot
In iOS 18.2, connecting an iPhone to a Mac using the hotspot will automatically mirror the iPhone screen, offering a new way to utilize shared connections effectively.
Improved Siri: Speak Instead of Type
Siri now supports both voice and typing commands, catering to users with diverse accents. This enhancement aims to enhance Siri’s response accuracy, though some users had hoped for more inclusivity in voice recognition.
Siri Integration with ChatGPT
Apple Intelligence integrates with ChatGPT, enabling more comprehensive responses to user queries, including images and text. This integration eliminates the need for an OpenAI account to access ChatGPT.
These new features in iOS 18.2 promise an enhanced user experience, with the update set to be available in December. Apple has expanded the coverage to English variants in different countries, although it remains limited to a single language for now. We look forward to potential expansions in the future.
