iOS 18.1 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[gwhizkids]

Agreed. Just tested on sub 18.1 and it does it. Expect to follow your pattern of usage.

That and things like it can be useful. But I don’t use them enough to develop the muscle memory to remember to use it.

If you look some of the writing tools are offloading to PrivateCloudCompute.

Go to Settings > Privacy > Apple Intelligence Report and export and look at the JSON. it’ll show your request and list PPC under the environment field. Seems some writing stuff requires the larger models

Have just gone into settings on my iPad air4 and there is a new update iOS 18 beta 2 but I can't see anywhere in here that it is mentioned. It is 1.1gb on my iPad.... Oops it is an ipados update sorry about that

This is probably iPadOS 18.0 public beta 2.

Jkel1777 yes that is correct. Thanks

Generally curious, is this useful? Something you would use on a regular bases? Trying to figure out what I would use in AI.

Absolutely. Ever type out a message and think it's a little too passive aggressive? These writing tools make excellent anger translators.

I am thinking this would be helpful for my job. I have the M3 Max MacBook Pro, and I think this would be great for writing RFPs. I am not going to download a beta on my work computer, but I excited to see how this works.

Does it make many mistakes? Funny enough I use the iPhone for spell check all the time or for looking up words, so all the help in the world would be good for me. Just curious if the early stages are already decent or need a lot of work.

Just double check grammar and spelling. It’s usually good, but it tends to be wordy.

Wordy just what I need. I wordy on my own 😂.

Don’t get me wrong: i like the UI for the iPad Messages Smart Replies. I just don’t like them hovering at the top of my pinned convos and immovable.

Interesting that the summary, key points etc writing tools do not work if you are offline

If you monitor your WiFi, the AppInt features really kick up your data used.

I just checked and it’s active for me now. What’s the “Priority Email” In my inbox? An email from Apple telling me my Apple Card payment is due tomorrow! 😂

LOL! So I have the toggle now, only when I select it, it doesn’t change anything in my inbox.

You don't have to switch to the 18.1 betas if you're not testing or developing against AI features — and in all likelihood, other devices will get 18.1 betas at some point later in the development cycle.

Meanwhile, if this is the worst Apple-related disaster you've ever seen, you obviously haven't been using their platforms for very long. 😂

*war flashbacks to the iOS 7.0 betas* 🫣🫣🫣

What does this icon mean? I also see it appear in Mail Notifications, but not on every message, only some, and I haven’t been able to figure out the context in which it appears:

It means the line after that is a summary of the email, AI functionality

 

[ps3zocker]

What does it summarize? Seems weird as message are usually small in text.

It's mostly about summarizing multiple messages. So for a group chat, if you have a bunch of new messages it will display and summarize the most important one so you see that up front.

 

[originalmagneto]

Funny thing just happened. The Mail app just summarized my email message, that was written in Slovak language. The summary was written in english, however, the sumamrization is correct. Hope that it's an indication, that the new AI models are multilingual and will support even less popular languages, such as slovak, czech etc. 👍

Ok, that's kind of useful. Those group messages can be a pain.

That's really going to require some trust in its generic summarising abilities, and its ability to know what each individual recipient finds important in the group chat.

Mobile network drop outs is really annoying. Get it all the time on EE / UK on a 15PM

Touch wood…. Mine seems to be fixed on 18.1. Only had it on 18 b4.

Disregard bug

Jesus. It’s dropped out 6 times in 4 minutes for me now.

 

[COBRASVT]

And it is SO pissing me off! I didn’t anticipate I’d hate this problem so much! 🤣

It's why I haven't installed. I live by emoji responses.

Makes sense.

How do you know that? Does Apple post an icon guide online somewhere?
