1. Apple Intelligence Features Enhancement:
-
Genmoji: Allows users to create custom emoji characters based on descriptions and phrases, adding more personalization to chats and social interactions.
-
Image Playground: Enables users to generate images based on text descriptions. Users can freely input content, choose clothing, locations, and more. Additionally, they can create characters resembling friends or family, using photos as inspiration for more creative images.
-
ImageWand: Transforms sketches from the Notes app into fully-formed images, adding more creative possibilities to everyday note-taking.
-
Siri and ChatGPT Integration: Users can now use ChatGPT for free through Siri without creating an account. Siri will leverage ChatGPT’s expertise to provide more accurate and efficient responses. Apple emphasizes that user privacy is respected during this process: Siri will request clear user consent before accessing ChatGPT, and both Apple and OpenAI guarantee that user IP addresses and ChatGPT query logs will not be stored.
-
Visual Intelligence: This feature is seen as a major upgrade to the iPhone 16 series’ camera button. Users can simply point their device at any object, press and hold to identify it, and instantly get related information. For example, pointing at a restaurant will show reviews, while pointing at an object will provide a detailed description—greatly enhancing the user experience.
2. User Experience Enhancements:
-
iOS 18.2 introduces various improvements in apps like Photos and TV. For example, the video player has been optimized, providing a larger screen area with no more thick borders around videos. This allows for an automatic fullscreen view without needing to tap the video.
-
The Live Activities feature has been extended to support more use cases. When downloading content via Safari, users can track download progress directly from the Lock Screen or through the Dynamic Island (available on iPhone 14 Pro and newer).
-
Default Apps: A new option to manage default apps gives users more flexibility and control over their device's applications, further enhancing personalization.
3. Localization Support:
- iOS 18.2 expands the use of Apple Intelligence, adding localized English support for the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
4. Security and Privacy Enhancements:
- In the iOS 18.2 Beta 2, Apple introduces Face ID verification as the default method of unlocking the device (only requiring a password if face recognition fails), enhancing device security.
5. Other Improvements

Smoothness and Battery Life: iOS 18.2 improves device performance and battery life, addressing bugs that previously caused lagging or rapid battery drain.
