Apple has released iOS / iPadOS 18.2 into public beta, as spotted by MacRumors. It includes access to the second wave of Apple Intelligence features that were already available to developers, like the AI-generated custom emoji feature Genmoji and the Image Playground feature that generates pictures.
It also adds ChatGPT integration, Visual Intelligence for searching using iPhone 16 cameras, a more robust Siri with improved responses to queries, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT is an option to step in and answer instead. ChatGPT access is free and doesn’t require an account to use it.
Access to some of the Apple Intelligence features is still behind a secondary waitlist — if you already had access to test them, you will immediately be able to use the Writing Tools, ChatGPT, and Visual Intelligence. The Genmoji, Image Wand, and Image Playground features will require another wait until Apple notifies you that your account is in.
The company also released the public beta for macOS 15.2, adding many of the same features as those coming to iPhones and iPads. It won’t have Visual Intelligence, nor do Macs get Genmoji, which only works on iPhones and iPads for now, MacRumors notes.
