Apple Releases iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2 With Genmoji, Image Playground, Siri ChatGPT and More

[jctevere]

Very underwhelming and AI seems very slow. Quicker to just copy into chartgpt app.

The mail app looks awful with that primary and shopping cart logos above it now.

Think I’ll be switching those new features off

I think the new mail app categories have pros / cons. As someone who religiously maintains my inbox, I don’t really care for it. However, for my wife who is the type of person with 10k+ unread emails and avoids her mail like the plague unless she needs something, the new AI and auto categorize features will help make her mail app usable again. Able to isolate the personal emails that may actually be important vs the spam that makes it through filters and generic order emails she doesn’t bother to clean up, etc.

And that update is also the end of iOS 17. C’mon Apple, with all the feedback you don’t expect me to update to this? Really?

No, ios 17.7.3 coming soon, perhaps today.

Can anyone confirm if date or caption searches work in Photos with iOS 18.2? I know it was removed in iOS 18 and I've been holding off as I heavily reply upon these type of searches. I've used Photos for 15+ years and adding captions to images etc. I was not happy to find out this functionality was removed with iOS 18. I routinely search 12.11 in Photos to find all images from Dec 11th (as an example) and I'm hoping Apple adds this functionality back. Thanks in advance!

How do you genmoji

 

[delsoul]

Genmoji is a joke. Anything you upload or try to have fun with, just says unable to do that. Way too nannied and ‘safe’

Is the new Mail design also restricted to Apple Intelligence compatible phones or just English language? Still the classic Mail here (14 Pro, German) 🤔

Just got it on my 13 Pro in the US.

Huh, 18.2 RC2 was only in public testing for 2 days and this public release still has a new build, wonder what the two sets of changes were

Are you doing actual genmoji or image playground?

Anything new for none-AI enabled markets? All I have seen so far was that I could set a different browser as default browser. That was it.

Same , what a dissapointment 😂

A lot of non-Apple apps stopped partially working or have become very slow after the update. Anyone else?

 

[Sfurmato]

Almost nothing new for EU users… useless 2.5g of update

After updating on my 15PM, Apple Intelligence is not working. Migrated back to old Siri. Getting Message that need to download Apple Intellgence over WIFI and Power On 😩😩

 

[scrapesleon]

let me know when iOS 18 is stable enough for me to come off 17

No new mail app here on 16 pro 18.2 Netherlands ( Europe ) 😟

I have it here, my mail language is in English tho.

I waited until now to update. I was on 17.5.1...

I'm picky about battery life and bugs

Seems okay so far. After 15 minutes the phone is cool to the touch and idle CPU usage is under 3%, like normal

No new mail app on three iPads with 18.2

Reddit thread with apparent confirmation

Can anyone later confirm if they experience a camera crash whenever the macro mode activates on iOS 18.2? Thanks!

No crash on iphone 15 pro max

 

[UliBaer]

No, ios 17.7.3 coming soon, perhaps today.

It is already there, but only for iPads not supporting 18, so 17.7.2 is the end for iPhones...

 

[aeternitas]

I was looking forward to the new mail update… but it’s so sh*t 😅 and everything on my “Primary” tab seems weirdly shifted/misaligned to the right.

 

[AppleMad98004]

Anyone else seeing the Passwords app going wonky?

 

[antiprotest]

I have no words to describe how much Image Playground suck. I have come to expect that from Apple so I'm not even mad about it. It's just funny and I'm chuckling at some of the results.

 

[JoeShades]

Chat gpt is fine but I find copilot and Gemini better. Hope Apple integrates them also

 

[Seanm87]

I just asked Siri how do I use Gen Moji and it had to use chat GPt to answer (and incorrectly too)

She’s still useless

 

[BugeyeSTI]

Is the new mail available on iPad OS? I just updated my 12.9 M1 and it doesn't look any different. No catagories
