If you want to try Apple Intelligence on your devices, we have good news for you. Apple has just released the first public beta from iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 And macOS 15.1with access to some features of the new AI package.
This comes almost two months after Cupertino introduced them exclusively to developers. Of course, don’t expect hugely impressive developments in the field of artificial intelligence. Apple Intelligence features in the first beta of iOS/iPadOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 are still quite limited.
If you install these development versions on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’ll get access to writing tools that let you correct, rewrite, or summarize text across multiple apps like Pages, Mail, or Notes; quick replies in Messages and Mail; an improved and redesigned version of Siri; (without ChatGPT integration)website summaries in Safari, notification filtering by priority, and some editing options in the Photos app.
More advanced Apple Intelligence features like Image Playground and Genmoji aren’t available in the first public beta of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS 15.1. In theory, they won’t be available when the stable update to that version arrives in October. Barring delays, those features may not be ready until December.
Just like it was when the beta was initially released to developers, those who want to try out Apple Intelligence on iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS 15.1. They will have to be put on a waiting list.To do this, you need to go into the settings of the iPhone, iPad, or Mac you’re installing it on and type in “Apple Intelligence & Siri.” There, they can request access, and then all they have to do is wait for those on the block to approve it.
In the first developer beta, users reported periods of several minutes before they were allowed to use Apple Intelligence. In this case, things may not be so simple, because the flow of people wanting to log in will certainly be higher.
