Check out the new AI features coming to iOS 18.2

In just a few days, we'll all have access to Apple's latest iPhone software update, iOS 18.2, but the beta is already available to some developers.

Of course, the most news shattering feature of the new iOS update is Apple's AI-related features. Among them are Genmoji, AI-powered custom emojis; image playground, which allows users to create images based on a text description from their library; and Image Wand, which Mashable's Stan Schroeder described as "essentially Image Playground integrated into the Notes app." Siri can answer your questions using ChatGPT now, and there are expanded AI writing tools. Finally, there's Visual Intelligence, in which AI gives you info about something your camera is pointed at — like, say, hours of a place of business.

If AI isn't really your thing, there's still something for you in the new update. You can turn off game previews in your Apple Arcade, use built-in categories for organizing your emails in the mail app, layer voice memos on top of each other and mix them in the voice memo app, and change your default apps in your settings. You can change up the volume limit, there are new sections for managing data in Safari, and you can favorite categories in the Podcasts app.

Overall, lots of changes and updates to look forward to.
