You are still awaiting new Apple Intelligence features, despite the fact that iOS 18.1 and iOS 18.2 introduced numerous Apple Intelligence features including Image Playground, Genmoji, Writing Tools, and more. At least one more significant Apple Intelligence update is scheduled for release in 2025; the features we anticipate are listed below.
Notifications of Priority
On devices that support Apple Intelligence, notification summaries are already available. However, in a future iteration of iOS 18, Apple Intelligence will feature Priority Notifications, which will allow you to prioritize the most critical notifications while removing those that are less important.
Incoming alerts that have been designated as priority will appear at the top of the notification stack when Priority alerts launches.
Features of the New Siri
On Apple Intelligence devices, Siri already has a new look and a greater grasp of natural language, but there are still a number of Siri updates that are pending.
Siri will soon be supported for deeper app integration, onscreen awareness, and personal context. Siri can assist you in finding everything you’re looking for by using personal context, which enables Siri to keep track of anything on your device, including files, images, emails, and text messages.
With onscreen awareness, Siri will be able to perform tasks based on what you’re looking at on your smartphone. For instance, if you’re looking at a picture, you may ask Siri to email it to someone by simply saying “Hey Siri, send this” along with the person’s name. “This” will make sense to Siri.
Additionally, Siri will be able to do much more within and across apps, which is probably going to have the biggest impact on her productivity. With only one command, you will be able to edit a picture and send it to someone. You will also be able to use Siri to transfer data across apps. According to Apple, it will function similarly to shortcuts but be enabled entirely through Siri, requiring no setup.
Apple intends to carry out these actions on-device in order to protect privacy, even though they all seem like somewhat intrusive Siri features that allow Siri to track everything on a smartphone.
On macOS, genmoji
With the release of iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2, Apple introduced Genmoji to the iPhone and iPad, however macOS Sequoia 15.2 did not include it. We already know that Genmoji is a feature of the macOS Sequoia 15.3 upgrade, which is anticipated to be released in January 2025 and is now undergoing beta testing by Apple.
MacOS Memory Movies
The memory movies feature, which allows you to make a slideshow from your images and videos with simply a written description, is likewise absent from Macs. Making a memory movie is currently only possible on the iPhone and iPad, but Apple intends to make it available on the Mac as well.
To make a personalized memory movie, navigate to the Photos app’s Memories area, select Create, and then enter the title of the film you wish to view. The Photos app will create a slideshow with music by selecting the most appropriate images and videos that match the theme you’ve chosen. You can alter the music, edit the provided photographs, and post the finished product on social media.
Apple Intelligence in More Countries and Languages
Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese are among the languages that Apple plans to support in addition to English by 2025.
As soon as new Apple Intelligence features are available
Apple is now beta testing iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3 upgrades, but they don’t include any new Apple Intelligence features beyond Genmoji for the Mac. Therefore, you shouldn’t expect any new features until iOS 18.4.
Late January is probably when iOS 18.3 will ship, and the iOS 18.4 beta will follow. With Apple aiming for an April 2024 release, iOS 18.4 and its sister updates will be beta tested for a few months.
