Apple has begun seeding the iOS 18.3 update for eligible iPhones. With this latest software release, the company is enabling Apple Intelligence by default—a major push to expand its availability. Until now, even on devices eligible for Apple Intelligence, users had to manually enable it from the settings menu, which could be challenging for non-tech-savvy individuals.
With this update, the rollout of its first set of AI features from Apple is nearly complete. These include notification summaries (currently paused due to errors in some summaries), writing tools, Image Playground, ChatGPT-powered Siri, and Visual Intelligence.
Writing Tools: Help users proofread and rewrite text.
Image Playground: Enables users to generate custom images using simple text prompts.
ChatGPT-Powered Siri: Offers advanced search results and helps with understanding complex topics.
Visual Intelligence: Functions as an enhanced version of Google Lens, allowing users to point the iPhone camera at a subject and ask related questions.
In addition to iPhones, Apple Intelligence is being enabled by default on eligible iPads and Macs with the iPadOS 18.3 and macOS 15.3 updates, respectively. Notably, Visual Intelligence is exclusive to the iPhone 16 series, featuring a dedicated camera control button.
However, Apple Intelligence is currently limited to devices set to support specific languages. Indian English support is not yet available but is expected to roll out by April.
