The artificial intelligence (AI) technologies available on Apple products, known as Apple Intelligence, were on display on June 10 at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024. The US-only iOS 18 developer beta releases saw the Cupertino-based tech giant push out a number of its AI-powered features in the following weeks. That has since changed, though, as users may now test out select Apple Intelligence capabilities on the most recent iOS 18.1 developer beta 3 features from all around the world.
Following the release of the third developer beta update of iOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1, Apple released release notes stating that iPhone users outside of the US can now test out Apple Intelligence capabilities. This is accomplished by setting both Siri’s language and the iPhone’s to English (US).
Before the update, users needed to switch the region of their iPhone model to the US in order to access Apple Intelligence. This is no longer the case. AI-powered writing tools, including summarization and others, are only compatible with the English language, claims 9to5Mac. Moreover, it is stated that users in China and the EU are still unable to utilize Apple’s AI suite.
It’s crucial to remember that this modification was only included in the iOS 18.1 developer beta 3 release. Staff members at Gadgets 360 were unable to confirm whether Apple Intelligence was accessible after the recent iOS 18 Public Beta 6 upgrade.
Features of Apple Intelligence
Siri gets significant enhancements from Apple Intelligence, which makes it more conversational. Additionally, it is claimed to provide On-Screen Awareness for better reactions. The “Clean Up” option is one of the newest additions. It removes persons and objects from photos in a manner akin to that of other smartphones, like the Samsung Galaxy S24 series and Google Pixel 9.
