iOS 18.4 Adds Apple Intelligence Features to Control Center

[MacRumors]

The second iOS 18.4 beta that Apple released today adds new Apple Intelligence features to Control Center, providing some quick access options to select Apple Intelligence features.

There are dedicated Control Center buttons for activating Siri so you can speak to the personal assistant and activating Visual Intelligence, with these features joining the prior option for activating Type to Siri. Note that Type to Siri has been moved to the Apple Intelligence section instead of the Siri section.

The features are available on all iPhones that support Apple Intelligence, including the iPhone 15 Pro models and all iPhone 16 models. Visual Intelligence is new to the iPhone 15 Pro, and on the iPhone 16 models, the Control Center option for activating it is new.

Prior to now, activating Visual Intelligence could only be done with a long press on the Camera Control button. There's also now a new Action Button option that can be used for Visual Control on the iPhone 16 models and the iPhone 15 Pro models.

Someone explain why visual intelligence is not on the iPad please guys please explain to me !!

I can talk and type to Siri now without Apple Intelligence. If they change it so you can ONLY use Siri with Apple Intelligence enabled, well I guess I’ll stop using Siri.

I’m afraid the only reason is product differentiation. 😟

Do they add it to the control center even if you already customize the center?

Completely different teams work on the iPad, most likely the features will come with iPadOS 19.

Not so sure whether this is required today especially considering the state of Apple Intelligence. Anyway good to see it and should be useful once more features are added to Apple Intelligence.

I'm sure Apple's working on it and it'll be released when it's ready. You need to give Apple time to innovate... like how we gave Apple time (14 years?) to release a Calculator app for the iPad

Damn we will need to wait around 14 years for all of this then...

Because the iPad has no hardware button for it. (Apple’s logic, not mine.)

Or it might take 14 years, like the Calculator app. People are still waiting for the Journal app as well.

Ah, @sw1tcher was faster.

And do you need one when you can open it from the control center?

The silent mode is available on any iPad also so...

The AI stuff is a little different. And the calculator app was Steve Jobs throwback.

The iPad used to have a hardware silent switch. Not sure it would have silent mode otherwise.

Apple working on getting their promised AI features out before WWDC.

I hope those dissapear when I immediately turn it back off again after the update.

I like Siri. I use Siri a lot. But if Siri becomes accessible only through Apple Intelligence, that’s the end. I leave Apple Intelligence firmly off on all of my systems.

I guess this is an attempt to make people aware of its existence in the first place

Like they will ever care about it. 🤣

No, its only a new option to choose from when customising the control centre.

 

[Ad1361]

yo.. this always happens to me. I’m definitely on beta but I don’t have this option in control center.
