Some Apple Intelligence Features to Try

Ready to try Apple’s new AI tools? Here are the Apple AI features that you can test right now using the iOS 18.1 developer beta.

Writing Tools

Imagine having a personal editor at your fingertips. With Writing Tools, you can:

• Rewrite and proofread text
• Summarize content
• Adjust the tone of your writing (professional, friendly, etc.)

These tools are available in any text field across Apple apps and third-party apps using Apple’s standard text controls. The writing tools will be available in all Apple products, including Mail on iOS and in the macOS.

AI-Powered Mail

Your inbox is about to get a lot more manageable with:

• Message summaries
• Smart reply suggestions
• On-device categorization (Primary, Transactions, Updates, Promotions)

Auto-summarized Notifications

Never miss important information again. This feature provides quick summaries of your texts and emails, giving you the gist at a glance.

Natural Language Search for Photos

Finding that one photo out of thousands just got easier. Use natural language to search your photo library, making organization a breeze.

Apple Intelligence-powered Siri

Siri just got a whole lot smarter. Honestly, it’s about time. The new version of Siri features:

• A redesigned interface with an elegant, glowing light around your screen
• Improved understanding of natural speech, even if you stumble over your words
• Ability to maintain context between requests
• Enhanced product knowledge
• Deep understanding of you, your calendar, your contacts, your relationships, etc. So, you can ask Siri things like, “When is my mom’s flight landing?”. Siri will cross-reference information from your emails with current flight schedules.

Try asking Siri about iPhone features you can’t name – it’ll likely figure out what you mean!
