Siri gets some handy upgrades in the next wave of Apple Intelligence features being released with iOS 18.2, including a ChatGPT extension and Visual Intelligence.
Apple Intelligence’s official launch is less than a week away, but it’s the next wave of AI updates that will start to make Siri a lot more useful. The forthcoming iOS 18.2 update — now available as a developer beta — starts to make your phone a lot smarter with the addition of Visual Intelligence and the ability to pass Siri requests along to ChatGPT.
It’s accessed by holding down the camera control button, which pulls up a camera live view. Once you take a photo, you can have ChatGPT analyze it or use Google Image search to find similar results on the web. It is a glorified, iOS-ified Google Lens, and it’s about time iPhones had something like this built in. Siri could previously look up plants and landmarks and the like, but nothing as expansive as this. Visual Intelligence is pretty good — mostly.
