Furthermore, the iOS 18.2 beta includes updates to the Mail app, such as categories for important emails, larger images for contacts and businesses and consolidated email views. The Control Center update introduces a Type to Siri quick access option, streamlining interactions. Adding to that, Apple has also expanded language support for Apple Intelligence to English users in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK via iOS 18.2 update.
The users will need to opt-in to both Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT individually to access these features. This can be done during the setup process or later in settings. Also, users won’t require a ChatGPT account or a standalone app to use these features. The service will serve two primary functions: supplementing Siri’s knowledge base and generating text within Writing Tools. It was said that certain questions will prompt Siri to ask users if they want to access ChatGPT when enabled such as recipes and travel planning. After updating, users can also directly ask Siri to “ask ChatGPT.” However, without a premium account, users will have limited queries and everyone will have access to OpenAI’s models, including GPT-4.
