Apple has announced the extension of the availability of Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system designed to provide useful and relevant information, guaranteeing the protection of the user privacy. With the recent updates of iOS 18.4, iPados 18.4 and macOS Sequoia 15.4, Apple Intelligence introduces support for eight new languages, including Italian, thus expanding its range of action to a global audience. In addition, iPhone and iPad users within the European Union will now be able to access the features offered by the system. The new Apple Intelligence features include writing tools, which allow users to rewrite, review and summarize texts in different applications, adapting to the language used. The “Clear” function allows you to remove unwanted elements from the images, while “Image Playground” and “Genmoji” offer new ways of visual expression. Integrated visual intelligence facilitates the analysis of the surrounding environment through the camera. In addition, the integration of chatgpt in Siri and in the writing tools allows you to access the information and understanding capacity of Chatgpt without having to change application.
Apple Intelligence was developed with particular attention to user privacy. The processing of many models takes place directly on the device, while for the most complex requests, private cloud compute is used, a system that extends the privacy and safety of Apple devices to the cloud. The writing tools, integrated in iOS, iPados and macOS, allow to perfect the texts through the “rewriting”, “review” and “summarize” functions. The “rewrite” function offers several options to change the tone of the text, while “reviews” check the grammar and the structure of the sentences. The “Reassume” function allows to obtain synthesis of texts in different formats. In addition, the “Describe the modification” option offers greater control on the changes made to the text. The photo app has been enriched with new features, including research with natural language, which allows you to find images and videos through text descriptions. The “Clear” tool allows you to remove elements of distraction from the photos, while the “memories” function allows you to create videos starting from text descriptions.
Image Playground allows you to create personalized images starting from text descriptions, offering different artistic styles. The genmoji allow you to create personalized emojis, inspired by specific people or situations. The Note app introduces the “Bacchetta Image” function, which allows you to create images starting from sketches or texts. The email app was updated with the “Priority messages” section, which highlights the most important emails, and the “quick reply” function, which suggests quick answers to emails. Siri has been enhanced with a greater ability to understand language and the possibility of moving from writing to voice commands. Visual intelligence allows you to analyze the surrounding environment through the camera, summarizing and translating texts, and noting useful information. The integration of chatgpt in Siri and in the writing tools allows you to access the information and understanding capacity of Chatgpt without having to change application. Users can choose whether or not to enable integration and check the shared information.
