Don’t call it AI, but Apple’s long-awaited take on artificial intelligence is finally rolling out today. Well, in limited form, anyway. The developer betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 just dropped, and they include some of the first Apple Intelligence features available to a broader, public group of testers. To be clear, this isn’t the full release that was rumored to be delayed till October. These updates are part of an early preview for developers to test.
How to get the new Apple Intelligence features
Starting today, those with Apple developer accounts will be able to update their software and go into their settings to see a new option for Apple Intelligence. There, you’ll have to join a waitlist, though it shouldn’t take longer than a few hours for you to gain access to the new features.
It’s important to note that you have to have either an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max to use the new Apple Intelligence features in the iOS 18.1 developer beta, or an iPad or Mac with an M1 chip or newer for the iPadOS 18.1 preview. If your device and Siri’s languages are not set to US English, you’ll have to change them both to that before you can access the Apple Intelligence setting.
You’ll also be running software that might be unstable or buggy, so be sure to back up your device before installing the developer beta.
What Apple Intelligence features are available now?
Once you’ve been granted access, Apple will deliver a notification to your device. The new stuff you’ll be able to play with in this version of the beta include writing tools for proofreading, rewriting or summarizing text. You’ll also gain the ability to create Memories in the redesigned Photos app, as well as transcribe live calls in the Phone app (or audio in Notes). Apple Intelligence can produce summaries of those clips.
Part of the redesigned Siri is also available, including the new glowing borders, the ability to type to the assistant and it being able to understand requests even if you’ve stuttered or interrupted yourself mid-speech.
Features that aren’t yet available are Genmoji, Image Playground, ChatGPT integration, Cleanup in Photos and the personal context and in-app actions for Siri. More should arrive in future betas, and as a reminder the full, general release of iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia is expected later this year. Apple Intelligence features are slated to roll out in 2024 and over the course of the next year.
Update, July 29 2024, 5:15PM ET: This story has been updated to include more details around what Apple Intelligence features are available in the developer beta, as well as required language settings.
