Apple announces its new AI features

Baghdad - INA

Apple announced the new update at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which the company held in June, and it is expected to become available on devices in mid-September.

The American company is promoting the integration of artificial intelligence with iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, in what is called "Apple Intelligence", as the main feature of the update that will bring a lot of change to the operating system, including new and improved Siri capabilities, the ability to create custom emojis and more.

iOS 18 will also activate a set of new features, such as smart writing tools, creating custom images, and improved privacy protection.
In this regard, the "Daily Mail" website published a list of the top 5 interesting features:

1. Siri enhanced by artificial intelligence
Apple's new artificial intelligence system will affect almost every aspect of the operating system, including the digital assistant Siri.

Apple explained, "Thanks to the power of Apple's intelligence, Siri takes a big step forward, becoming more relevant and contextual."
Users will be able to talk to Siri more naturally, thanks to new language understanding capabilities enhanced by artificial intelligence, in addition to providing the option to type instead of relying on voice commands.

Siri will have an “on-screen awareness” feature, which allows the digital assistant to access information on your phone and complete tasks within and across apps.

2. Genmojis
Have you ever wished you could create your emoji? With Apple’s new “Genmoji” feature, now you can!
“Taking emoji to a whole new level, users can create native Genmoji to express themselves,” Apple said.

The feature lets users create custom emojis using artificial intelligence. (All you have to do is type in a description of the emoji you want to create, and Genmoji will quickly generate it.).

3. The iOS update will also include a convenient new way to send cash to other iPhone users.

The new feature lets users send and receive money by simply holding two iPhones close together, which should simplify digital payments by eliminating the need to share phone numbers or email addresses to complete a transaction.

The feature will be available to iPhone users running iOS 18, and Apple Watch users running WatchOS 11.

4. Hidden apps
The iOS 18 update will provide the ability to hide or lock certain apps on phones.

Locked apps will still appear on the home screen, but they can only be opened using Face ID, and if someone gains access to your phone, they won’t be able to access all of your private information.

However, some users have expressed concerns about the feature’s potential to encourage infidelity in relationships, even going so far as to describe it as a “cheater’s paradise.”

5. Chat integration with GPT
This update will include integration with Chat GPT, OpenAI’s chatbot and virtual assistant.

Siri will be able to leverage Chat GPT to help answer questions, but users will be asked for permission before sending any questions, documents, or images to the chatbot.

Chat GPT will also be available within Apple's system-wide writing tools, to help users create written content on any topic, and Apple will also launch Compose, an image generator powered by Chat GPT.
