iOS 18.2 Introduces AI Image Generation
iOS 18.2 is launching with exciting new Apple Intelligence features for image creation: Image Playground, Genmoji, and Image Wand. These tools offer creative and fun ways to generate and share original images and emojis.
Image Playground: A New App and Tool
Image Playground lets you create original images from text descriptions or suggested concepts. Available as a standalone app and integrated into other apps like Messages and Keynote, it offers three image styles: Animation, Illustration, and Sketch (Sketch may be released later). Learn more about iOS 18.2 updates.
Apple limits styles to prevent realistic deepfakes, ensuring a fun, animated look. Image Playground provides multiple image previews for refinement and can be integrated into third-party apps via API.
Genmoji: Personalized Emojis
Genmoji allows creation of personalized emojis directly within the emoji keyboard. Type a description, and Apple Intelligence generates up to four emoji options. You can even create Genmoji resembling friends or family. Explore the future of AI tools like ChatGPT.
Image Wand for iPadOS
Exclusive to iPadOS 18.2, Image Wand enhances the Apple Pencil's capabilities within Apple Notes. Circle a sketch to transform it into a refined image or circle empty space for context-based image suggestions.
Enhanced Creativity and Safety
