iOS 18.2

Apple’s Photos app got a major redesign in iOS 18, and not all of the changes have been well received. Fortunately, Apple’s listened to feedback and has made five key changes to Photos in iOS 18.2.

The first Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.1 included a variety of tools to aid your writing. But iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 expanded those tools in two key ways, including one powerful upgrade that can do all your writing for you—absolutely free.

iOS 18.2 is now available to everyone. The update comes with big changes for iPhone users, including new Apple Intelligence features, upgrades to the Find My app, and changes to the Photos app.

After you update to iOS 18.2, you’ll see an entirely new app on your iPhone’s Home Screen: Image Playground. Here’s what it is…

iOS 18.2 came packed with a lot of big and small changes. One smaller update that’s flown under the radar is a faster way to message Siri or ChatGPT. Here’s how it works.

According to MacRumors, Apple is preparing the release of iOS 18.2.1. We don’t have a known build number at the moment, but we’ll likely see this software update released in the near future.

iOS 18.2 has brought with it a new wave of Apple Intelligence features. One of the most powerful additions is ChatGPT integration. You can now use ChatGPT directly through Siri and system-wide writing tools. Here’s everything new.

iOS 18.2 comes with a lot of new features that are hard to miss, like the Mail redesign, new Image Playground app, and Genmoji. But there are also two new tools hidden inside the Settings app in iOS 18.2: you can add volume controls back to your iPhone’s Lock Screen, and also set maximum volume limits.

iOS 18.2 is a huge release for users. New Apple Intelligence features are a major highlight, but so too is the Mail app, which gets its biggest redesign ever. Here’s everything that’s new.

iOS 18.2 introduced a new feature for AirTag and other items in the Find My app, and it may just save you a lot of stress and trouble the next time you lose something important.

The iPhone 16’s Camera Control feature arrived to mixed reviews, including from me. But iOS 18.2 upgrades the feature in several key ways, making it what it was always meant to be.

Last week, iOS 18.2 introduced a handy new Find My upgrade for sharing your lost item’s location with others—including airlines. Now, Apple has announced which major airlines already support the feature.

With iOS 18.2, Apple introduced an all new Mail app. It introduced mail categorization, a fresh coat of paint, contact photos/business logos for conversations, a new system for grouping emails, and more. All of that sounded nice when it was unveiled back at WWDC, but now that I’ve actually spent some time using it, I’m having some doubts.

iOS 18.2 has finally arrived, and beyond a ton of great Apple Intelligence features and a big Mail redesign, the update also lets you set new default iPhone apps. Here’s how that works.

Apple’s Messages is one of the most used iPhone apps for many of us. It got a big iOS 18 update not long ago, but now even more change has arrived in iOS 18.2 thanks to several key Apple Intelligence features.

The BBC isn’t pleased with Apple Intelligence’s notification summary feature. The corporation says that the notification summary feature “generated a false headline” about Lugi Mangione, who was arrested this week as the suspected killer of the United HealthGroup CEO.

The notification summary in question suggested that Mangione had shot himself: “Luigi Mangione shoots himself; Syrian mother hopes Assad pays the price; South Korea police raid Yoon Suk Yeol’s office.”

Earlier this week, Apple released iOS 18.2 into the world with a new built-in ChatGPT integration. Not long after, ChatGPT and other OpenAI services went down in a major outage. Were the two incidents related? Here’s the official answer from OpenAI.

AirPods Pro 2 recently received huge new features in Hearing Aid, Hearing Test, and Hearing Protection. But for many users, Apple’s latest iOS update may be even more transformative thanks to a key Apple Intelligence upgrade. Here’s how iOS 18.2 makes AirPods more powerful than ever.

iOS 18.2 has arrived, bringing a redesigned Mail app, Photos app fixes, and more. Some of the biggest changes, though, are with new AI features. And for the first time, Apple Intelligence now offers native language support in five places outside the US.

Apple last month announced a new Share Item Location feature for helping to track AirTags and Apple devices, and said at the time that it would be partnering with more than 15 airlines. Those airlines would accept links from passengers tracking mislaid baggage.

United Airlines has now shown how it will integrate the feature into its mobile app, enabling customers to easily add the links …

As we recently reported, Apple released a second RC build of iOS 18.2 to developers and beta testers before releasing the update to everyone earlier today. Although the RC build is often the same as the one that becomes available to the public, this time beta users have another update to install on their devices.

iOS 18.2 is now available to everyone, and the update is headlined by major new Apple Intelligence features.

While those Apple Intelligence features are garnering most of the attention, there are other notable features now available on your iPhone.
