Apple’s Writing Tools: A Powerful AI-Driven Editor for Your Emails, Messages, and Notes
Are you tired of struggling to craft the perfect email, message, or note? With Apple’s Writing Tools, you can now rely on artificial intelligence (AI) to help you write with clarity, concision, and style. This powerful feature, part of Apple Intelligence, is available on supported iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices.
Proofreading and Rewriting Made Easy
Writing Tools can proofread and rewrite your content across Mail, Messages, Notes, and other text-based apps. With a few taps, you can:
- Get suggested changes to your own writing, allowing you to revise and refine your words
- Ask for a summary, bullet-point list, or table-organized content from texts written by others
- Use the integrated ChatGPT to compose new content from scratch
How to Use Writing Tools
To access Writing Tools, open a new email or note, then tap the left arrow and select the Writing Tools icon (a pencil in a circle). From there, you can:
- Proofread your content by selecting the "Proofread" option, which will show you the number of suggested changes
- Rewrite your content by selecting the "Rewrite" option, which will provide a revised version
- Choose from three writing styles: Friendly, Professional, or Concise, to refine your words
- Describe specific changes you’d like to make, such as shorter and snappier writing
- Use the "Summarize" feature to condense long texts into a concise summary, or select a specific type of summary (Key Points, List, or Table)
ChatGPT: Composing Content from Scratch
To use ChatGPT, ensure it’s enabled on your device. Then, start a new email or note, select the Writing Tools icon, swipe to the bottom of the menu, and select "Compose." Type or dictate a description of what you want to write, and ChatGPT will generate and display the content. You can then:
- Ask for a new version by tapping "Rewrite"
- Add specific details to the text by tapping on suggested changes
- Accept the draft by tapping "Done"
