All of the Apple Intelligence Features Not Included in the iOS 18.1 Beta

[MacRumors]

Apple introduced the first version of Apple Intelligence in the iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 developer betas. While the betas include some useful Apple Intelligence features like Writing Tools, some of the Apple Intelligence additions won't be coming until later.

We've rounded up everything that's not yet been added to the betas, with Apple planning to introduce these features at a later date.

• Image Playground - Both the standalone app and the functionality built into apps like Notes and Messages are missing from the current beta.
• Genmoji - Genmoji is based on Image Playground, and it is unavailable.
• Image Wand - Image Wand, the feature that inserts images into your Notes based on context, is also based on Image Playground so it won't be available until Image Playground is added to the beta.
• Priority Notifications - Priority notifications show up at the top of the notification stack, so you can get to what's most important first. The feature also summarizes your incoming notifications so you can sort through them more quickly.
• Mail - Mail categories that sort your incoming messages are not yet available.
• Photos - While the Memory Maker feature is active in Photos, the Clean Up tool that removes unwanted objects from images with a tap is not available.
• Siri - Functionality that includes onscreen awareness, personal context, and the ability to take more actions in and across apps is not yet available.
• ChatGPT - ChatGPT integration with Siri has not yet been implemented.
• Additional Languages - Apple Intelligence is available in U.S. English only as of now, but support for additional languages will be coming in the future.
• Additional Platforms - As Apple said in its WWDC coverage of Apple Intelligence, the Apple Intelligence feature set will eventually expand to additional platforms.

iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 are only available to developers right now, and Apple Intelligence is still in the early stages of testing. Apple Intelligence features will be available to everyone later this fall in an update to the initial iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia releases.

Isn’t this pretty much everything we actually cared about? lol

It looks like there are quite a few features that ARE in the beta.

Ok so I guess a more important question is: will there be some of those features tricking down to “weaker” devices like iPhone 14 Pro Max? Or Apple is adamant to go with “all or none” in terms of AI features?

 

[coffeemilktea]

So what's missing is... basically all the fun stuff?

Tim Cook's Apple, where they over-promise and under-deliver. We think you're going to love it.

Seems strange to leave out Priority Notifications. Especially considering that I is smart enough to detect if a notification should break through the new focus mode.

 

[Lioness~]

I hope that it will still be possible to use ChatGPT alone later.
No way I am turning on Siri again.

 

[clcnyc]

Sooo, all the cool stuff. Got it.

 

[JPack]

Faster to tell us what is included.

This one so far seems like the true beta of iOS 18. Already seen all sorts of problems in messages so far.

In terms of of AI, liking the summarize feature in mail. Hopefully Microsoft can port something similar to Outlook.

 

[MallardDuck]

Given that Siri is the poster child for the scarecrow’s theme song from wizard of oz, they need to be patient and get it right.

Is Tim Cook understaffing OS developer team to save money or something? This is unacceptable.

Starting iOS19, they will introduce features and release them with iOS20.

Apple has become so slow paced with Tim. I know that Apple needs to finetune software, but it is executive”s responsibility to push team members to meet the deadline. None of Apple’s executives seem to be good at this.

 

[MRSooner]

It’s like Apple wasn’t working on any AI while every other tech company was. Instead, Apple was giving Siri a new voice and trying to figure out how users could not have to say “Hey” when summoning Siri.

Accept we are in betas. Things and can be added and removed all the time.

One of the biggest myths in tech is that pushing teams harder results in hitting deadlines. No, it results in mistakes like the Crowdstrike bug last week. Just like nine women can’t have a baby in a month, building complex software - correctly - takes time.

Now, should they have started a year earlier? Heck yeah. But given the late start, delaying a month or two is better than Apple Maps 1.0. One of the worst things a company can do is release software because of an arbitrary date vs when it’s ready.

Apple Intelligence is available in U.S. English only as of now, but support for additional languages will be coming in the future.

If I'm not in the US but choose English US as the language of Siri, will it switch to the Siri with all the Apple Intelligence features ? Or if it's just in the US territory ?

 

[Quasium]

If you set your device region to US and choose US English it’ll work for you.

 

[gaximus]

But the Siri animation is cool.

 

[Reason077]

Apple should really push back iOS 18 by 3-6 months and take some time to get these features solid.

Why bother even releasing a half-finished iOS 18, just to keep an arbitrary schedule? Is there anyone actually clamouring for features that aren't related to Apple Intelligence?

 

[GoJu]

In other words…..

This is great - we don’t need it anyway. Since we can’t really define intelligence for humans, how can it be defined and (consequently) tested in computers. Let’s stop thinking for ourselves and dumb ourselves down. What a great idea (not!).
