iOS 18.2 is out now, adding ChatGPT integration and more Apple Intelligence tools

Apple has released iOS 18.2, and the update adds a bunch of new Apple Intelligence features, including Image Playground, Genmoji, and integration with ChatGPT.

With Image Playground, users can generate an image from a prompt or make something based off of one of Apple’s suggestions. However, Image Playground seems to opt for cartoony or stylistic photos instead of photorealistic images, which could prevent potential misuse. And with Genmoji, users can generate their custom emoji images (Emojipedia calls them “emoji-like stickers”) that I think could be a big hit in group chats.

The ChatGPT integration, which has been one of the most notable Apple Intelligence features in the works, lets you access the OpenAI tool from Siri or when using Apple’s Writing Tools. You don’t need to have a ChatGPT account to use it, but you are able to log in to your account if you want.
