Here are some highlights of Apple Intelligence’s features:

Systemwide Writing Tools

Writing Tools, available across various Apple and third-party apps, allow users to rewrite, proofread, and summarise text with tailored suggestions. Users can adjust tone, receive grammar and style checks with explanations, and generate summaries in multiple formats like lists or tables.

Enhanced Siri Experience

Siri now responds in a more natural, conversational manner, seamlessly switching between text and voice. It’s visually redesigned with an animated edge glow and gains new capabilities, including context awareness across interactions and thousands of Apple device-specific answers.

Photos App Enhancements

The Photos app’s search function allows users to locate specific moments by describing them, e.g., “Maya skateboarding in a tie-dye shirt.” It includes a new Clean Up tool to remove distractions from photos and a Memories feature to create movies based on user-provided descriptions.

Focused and Prioritised Communication

Apple Intelligence introduces Priority Messages in Mail, displaying high-priority emails, and Smart Reply, which suggests responses. Notification summaries for quick updates on the Lock Screen and focus tools also help users stay on task.

Enhanced Audio and Visual Features

Users can record, transcribe, and get summaries of audio in the Phone and Notes apps. Visual enhancements set to arrive in December include Genmoji, an Image Playground, and the ability to use Siri to visually interpret objects through Camera Control.
