Apple Intelligence Updates Roll Out with New Features and Languages
Apple Intelligence, the iPhone maker’s suite of AI-powered tools and features, is gaining new features. Most notably, the company on Monday announced that Apple device owners will now be able to take advantage of Priority Notifcations, which allows Apple’s AI to highlight your most time-sensitive notifications in a new format.
New Features and Updates
Other updates are coming to the Image Playground app and the Mac. Plus, Apple Intelligence is now available to iPhone and iPad users in the EU and on the Apple Vision Pro headset in U.S. English.
Localization and Language Support
Apple notes that its AI features are also available in a number of new languages, including French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (simplified). Localized English has also been added for both Singapore and India.
A Slow and Steady Rollout
Though Apple Intelligence was introduced at the company’s Worldwide Developer Conference last year as its new generative AI offering, the reality is that Apple was not prepared to release all its AI-powered features at once. That’s led to a slow and steady rollout of numerous AI updates since the release of iOS 18.1 where Apple Intelligence first went live.
Priority Notifications: A Game-Changer
Among the new additions coming Monday, Priority Notifications may be the most useful if successfully implemented. Now, instead of having to dig for important updates across all your notifications — which often include nonessential updates and other marketing messages from apps — you’ll be able to see those that deserve attention appear at the top of the stack.
New Emojis and Features
Other Apple Intelligence improvements arriving today include the ability to create a “memory movie” on Mac by typing a description, and an added Sketch style in Apple’s AI image generation app, Image Playground, for the creation of academic and detailed sketches.
Conclusion
The latest updates to Apple Intelligence, including Priority Notifications, Image Playground, and localized language support, demonstrate the company’s commitment to refining its AI-powered features. With the slow and steady rollout of AI updates, users can expect to see more innovative and useful features emerge in the coming months.
