[dannyyankou]

After the mail update, my unread emails badge went from like 800 to 33. I love it lol.

What does "p build" mean? Very very beta?

Punishment

can’t seem to access visual intelligence…am i missing something? (iphone 16pm)

 

[vince085]

Did anyone notice any differences in answers if you have chatgpt paid vs free?

 

[dodger246]

Anyone know how long the wait is to get access to the image tools?

Hold down the camera button to access it.

 

[walterpaisley]

Yeah, Image playground is a bit perplexing. I keep getting the error

Anyone know how long the wait is to get access to the image tools?

Took me about 30 minutes

I hope 18.2 isn’t just about AI and nothing else. I have a feeling the whole iOS 18 train will just be adding AI and no other new features. For someone like me that doesn’t care about AI it’s gonna be a boring update cycle lol all the teams are just focused on AI.

Problem is with Apple new features = new bugs…iOS 18 is already buggy enough (Apple music is almost unusable for my part) , if they could fix those before adding new stuff that would be great

A thought occurs to me. What's the point of the waitlist if the image generation is all on-device? Not like a bunch of users will be hitting a premature AI server or something.

I suspect that during the betas it’s not all being done on device.

Just give me those sweet, sweet sender avatars in Mail. Can anyone confirm those are in place now?

Yes.. Mail categories and avatars are present

Hold down the camera button to access it.

Wow i feel like an idiot. thanks 😂

 

[HouseLannister]

Sweet. I no longer need the Mail app to change my default email app.

IPSW installers
Don't forget to download the latest Xcode and use the mobiledevice.pkg from the resources folder, so your phone syncs smoothly and doesn't fail on install.

• Restart your Mac
• Quit all apps and restart your iPhone
• Do an encrypted full back up to Mac

I religiously do as good house keeping.

Can now set device region and language to uk

You can…. But this seems to disable the Chat GPT integration.

 

[gwhizkids]

You’re probably right, but doubt you’ll find many “settling down types” in this particular thread.

No. This is the “I want it NOW!!!” thread.

 

[Polaroid]

Works very fast and smooth

 

[Polaroid]

Can use chatGPT integration to draw images within type to Siri as well

 

[nortonandreev]

Exciting! Was not expecting it this week.

Seems like I can’t even enjoy a few days on a “stable” release 😂

Download seems quite slow - it says 2 hours…

Also saw this in the release notes, in case someone experiences it freaks out.

 

[greenorblue]

Is there an option to allow Siri to call chatgpt without confirmation?

 

[RSmith2023]

I was wondering the same thing, but it should be coming to iPad considering Apple is showing it on the iPad mini product page.

Wondering if something is wrong with the iPadOS 18.2 beta as I still don't see an IPSW for the M4 iPad Pro's.

 

[Polaroid]

Is there an option to allow Siri to call chatgpt without confirmation?

Yes can turn that off so it’s better integrated

 

[gwhizkids]

Apple Intelligence is now 3.22GB, up from 2.6 GB.

I’m in the EU so no AI yet, but got the new mail UI.View attachment 2440902

The new mail app doesn’t require Apple Intelligence.

 

[MLVC]

The new mail app doesn’t require Apple Intelligence.

I'm in the EU, no new mail app for me.

 

[MegaBlue]

I'm in the EU, no new mail app for me.

I don’t know why it’s not in the EU, but it doesn’t require Apple Intelligence.

In addition to that I can disable AI and still get the categories, you can also check Apple’s own iOS 18 new feature .pdf document, and the mail categories are not listed with the Apple Intelligence features.
