Apple on Wednesday released developer betas iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2, delivering new Apple Intelligence features including Genmoji, Image Playground, Visual Intelligence, Image Wand, and ChatGPT integration.
The software updates arrive the week before the public release of OS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, which brings writing tools, image cleanup, article summaries, and a typing input for the redesigned Siri experience to the platforms.
Along with those updates comes APIs for three key Apple Intelligence features: Writing Tools API, Genmoji API, and Image Playground API. All are designed to help developers integrate Apple’s small model approach to generative AI into their apps.
Wednesday’s developer updates also expand language localization — though only for English. In addition to U.S. English, Apple has added Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, South African, and U.K. localizations.
Apple previously announced that support for Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese will arrive next year. Notably, users in both China and the EU may not get any access to Apple Intelligence features, owing to regulatory hurdles.
