Apple Intelligence Now Available in New iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 Developer Betas

[Uinluan]

It begins.

Yeah its a beta. If you can't deal with breakage or don't want to have to tinker to fix.. Stay off the betas

 

[Goodeye]

Downloading now

 

[Xoterin]

I downloaded it on my M4 iPad. Joined the waitlist, got approved. Didn't work. Rebooted iPad. Now it's working, but I can't figure out any request that will make Apple Intelligence actually go to OpenAI...

OpenAI isn't available in 18.1 beta 1.

Here’s what’s missing from the first Apple Intelligence developer beta:

• Image Playground
• Genmoji
• Priority Notifications
• ChatGPT

Restart devices

Nada, no love. When I invoke Siri with either a voice command, or by pressing the button, the screen does it's little flash, then nothing.

I wonder if the macOS 18.1 beta includes the Vision Pro ultrawide display support.

Keep in mind everyone. Apple Intelligence is for the top 1% Luxury iPhone owners Only for iPhone 15 Pro, iPads M1 to M4.

Let’s goooo!!!

 

[MrGimper]

I would imagine this branch may be a build or two behind 18.0. High focus on Apple Intelligence.

Thanks. Think I’ll stay on 18 branch then.

Mine did that for a while. Then it just started working.

 

[rwilliams]

I'm in on the Mac version, and so far all I see is Siri. Nothing so far about Writing Tools, Mail changes, etc.

 

[hegedusa]

What about UK? We're not in the EU any more. And even then, it only works in "US English". Pah! Will they ever launch it in UK English?

 

[lordDavidson]

Looks like no point if you are in UK.

 

[verniesgarden]

just noticed a new "scrubber" for moving in text

Apple’s summary of this article:
“Apple has released developer betas of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, introducing early versions of Apple Intelligence features. These features include Writing Tools, Siri’s revamped design, and smart replies in Messages and Mail. Apple Intelligence will be available in a beta capacity this fall, with new capabilities rolled out over time.”

I'm relieved to see that this is something that can be switched off.

Why?

 

[Hellsurfer]

It works if you set siri language and your mac language/region to US

 

[aevan]

Anyone outside US trying this: can you confirm it works just by switching the language to US English?

 

[DotCom2]

I use this so much when cooking, but you have to be careful. More than once I've said "15 minutes" and Siri thinks I said "50 minutes". Yeah that food will be quite thoroughly burned.

LOL Same. Alexa does that too.

 

[emmab2006]

Not seeing the macOS update yet in the UK (we shouldn't be restricted by the EU issues given we don't get the Alt Store and stuff)

i have the update but we not aloud it would appear

 

[PumaUK7]

Seems to but yeah have to change system language to US

Yes it will.

It’s US English only. Change your language and it’ll work.

 

[N0ughtsAndCr0sses]

I’m in the uk

Let’s see what happens

Updated both my iPhone 15 Pro MAX and 11" M4 iPad Pro to the iOS 18.1 Beta.

I joined the waitlist from my iPhone, and I'm still on it. But after my iPad finished installing 18.1 there was no waitlist, just welcome to Apple Intelligence and it's fully working. Interesting. Wonder if my waitlist got approved and I just need to restart my phone, or if there is no waitlist for the M4 iPad Pro.

Still trying to upgrade my M3 MAX MacBook Pro to the MacOS 15.1 beta. It just will not see it as available.

I switched to the 15.1 Developer Beta Channel, and have been checking to see if the update has popped up ever 5 minutes or so. No luck yet.

 

[kagharaht]

I'm sure it will be a feature that we can turn off. I don't want it!

 

[ellpee]

Nice ruse to get you to upgrade your phone just to remove objects in photos.
