Apple has released iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1. These updates bring enhanced functionality to eligible iPhones and iPads, with a particular emphasis on Apple Intelligence, a new suite of AI-driven tools designed to streamline user interactions.
Apple Intelligence, available in beta, introduces advanced features for specific devices, including iPhone 15 Pro models, the iPhone 16 lineup, and iPads powered by M-series or A17 Pro chips. Users can activate Apple Intelligence in their settings under the Apple Intelligence and Siri section.
This update enriches Siri with contextual awareness, a sleek new interface, and enhanced product support capabilities. Writing Tools help users refine text, check grammar, and condense content, while Smart Replies in Mail and Messages bring quick, relevant response options. Additionally, Safari and Notes offer summarized overviews of content, allowing users to grasp information quickly.
Photos now includes a Clean Up feature for removing unwanted objects from images and a Memory Movie function for creating dynamic slideshows. A new Focus Mode option, Reduce Interruptions, filters out non-essential notifications, ensuring only crucial alerts break through.
These new updates are now available, with Apple continuing to refine the user experience through enhanced, intelligent tools.
