New AI Features in iOS 18.2: ChatGPT and Siri Integration
One of the most exciting additions in the iOS 18.2 update is the integration of OpenAI’s ChatGPT with Siri. Following an announcement at the WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple and OpenAI have worked together to bring ChatGPT’s advanced AI capabilities to iPhones. With this feature, Siri can now delegate some requests to ChatGPT, which can then process tasks and deliver responses directly from Apple’s servers.
Additionally, Siri is now more intelligent when it comes to handling visual information. The assistant can recognize images on your screen and provide relevant details about them. This improvement is a huge step forward in how Siri interacts with content, making it more useful and responsive.
Apple has also emphasized privacy with this feature. If you use ChatGPT without an account, OpenAI will not store your queries or use your data to train the model, ensuring that your requests remain private.
