iOS 18.2

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.

iOS 18.2 is launching next month, and with it a new wave of Apple Intelligence features. One of the most powerful additions: ChatGPT is getting baked into Siri and the new system writing tools on AI-compatible devices. Here’s how that works, and the key details you’ll want to know.

iOS 18.2 is currently in beta testing with the next round of Apple Intelligence features, such as Image Playground, ChatGPT integration, and Genmoji.

While those Apple Intelligence features are garnering most of the attention, there are other notable features coming to the iPhone next month. Head below for a roundup of all the non-AI features coming to your iPhone as part of iOS 18.2.

Apple introduced a brand new interface to its Photos app with iOS 18, which for years had looked pretty much the same.
