Apple has released the first developer beta for iOS 18.2, which includes this fantastic new ChatGPT feature.

When Apple first announced its AI features at WWDC , much was said about Apple Intelligence, including ChatGPT's integration with Siri. Sadly, like many other features, it was held off until a later update for compatible devices.

Apple has laid out how the data is handled with ChatGPT integration to help comfort anyone with data security concerns. When communicating with OpenAI, only the image and location data are sent to ChatGPT; no other information, like your Apple Account, is shared. OpenAI can not use the data to train its model; however, if you have a paid account with OpenAI, the data and requests can be logged.

Plenty more are coming with the iOS 18.2 beta, including Image Playground and Genmoji. The latter allows users to create new custom emojis based on several factors, including people in your contacts. Meanwhile, Image Playground uses AI to generate images based on text prompts or can use built-in suggestions and concepts. iOS 18.2 includes a redesigned Mail App with an upgraded visual design and AI-backed organization.

For now, these features are locked to the developer beta, but a public beta is likely not far away. All these changes will help keep the iPhone one of the best phones on the market.
