With the first iOS 18.2 developer beta now available, iPhone users can take advantage of some of the most anticipated Apple Intelligence features announced back in June. According to Apple, Image Playground lets you produce "fun, original images in seconds. Create an entirely new image based on a description, suggested concept, and even a person from your Photos library." With Genmoji, you only need to "provide a description to see a preview [of your Genmoji] and adjust your description until it's perfect." These soon-to-be popular features are interesting because they remove the limits of how users express themselves through images. For example, I can now create a Genmoji of Georgia's famous khinkali (a traditional dumpling of the Eastern European country) instead of waiting for Unicode to add it to their platform one day. That being said, here's how you can request access to Image Playground so you can use Genmoji in the iOS 18.2 beta. Here's how to join Image Playground's waitlist and quickly start using Genmoji So far, iOS 18.2 is only available in beta for developers. BGR has a detailed article on how to join the iOS 18 developer's beta. After that, follow the steps below: After you have iOS 18.2 installed on your iPhone, open the Image Playgrounds app Join the waitlist While it might seem you're joining a waitlist, Apple is actually downloading the new Apple Intelligence information. As such, the best way to gain access to these features is to make sure your iPhone isn't hot, you have enough battery life, and you're on a strong internet connection. After a few minutes, you should get access to the Image Playground app. You can also continue checking through the Settings app, Image Playground app, or the emoji tab of the Messages app to see if you have been approved. Still, if it's taking too long, BGR can help you skip the Apple Intelligence line. Don't Miss: Still stuck on the Apple Intelligence waitlist?

Apple released iOS 18.1 earlier this week, which brings the first Apple Intelligence features to iPhone 16 and the iPhone 15 Pro. ChatGPT integration isn't one of them, but that functionality will arrive as soon as iOS 18.2 is released in the coming months. Meanwhile, Apple also released the first iOS 18.2 beta, so you can test ChatGPT integration as soon as you install the build. This should not be confused with the standalone ChatGPT app for iPhone, which has been available for quite a while. In fact, the app is available even on devices that do not run iOS 18. The ChatGPT integration in iOS 18 allows you to invoke OpenAI's chatbot by talking to Siri. You can even bypass Siri if you want to. What's interesting in all of this is that OpenAI has to adhere to Apple's strong privacy features for Apple Intelligence. That means you'll get better ChatGPT privacy than using the app directly. But there is one expected twist: Apple's stronger privacy requirements apply as long as you use ChatGPT integration without signing into an OpenAI account. That's something Apple explained earlier this year. We now have the specific privacy rules governing ChatGPT use in Apple Intelligence. Continue reading...

The unusual texts tell a story of humanity in a way that has never been told before, starting from the beginning of creation up until the emergence of Christianity.
