Tech giant Apple is expected to roll out its much anticipated iOS 18.1 for its devices today. The new software update for Apple devices will include some of ‘Apple Intelligence’ features. While Apple has not officially announced the release time, the update is expected to be rolled out in India later tonight.
Apple fans have been waiting to try out Apple Intelligence features, which were introduced during the Cupertino giant's WWDC event in June. Though iOS 18 is compatible with devices from iPhone SE (2nd gen), Intelligence features will be available only on recently released devices like iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Apple recently introduced its new iPad mini designed for Apple Intelligence. Intelligence features will also be available with iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1.
However, not all Apple Intelligence features will be available with the new update, Beebom reported. According to a report, the new software update is expected to come with Intelligence features like writing tools, clean up tool, call recording transcription, memory movie, new Siri UI, suggested replies in mail and messages, summarize web pages in Safari and reduce interruptions focus mode.

“With Writing Tools, users can refine their words by rewriting, proofreading, and summarising text nearly everywhere they write, including Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party apps,” Apple said. In Photos, users can create movies using the ‘Memories’ feature by just typing in a description. With ‘Clean Up’ tool, iPhone users can remove distracting elements from their images with just a single tap, without altering the subject. Users can also use Intelligence to record, transcribe, and summarise audio in the Notes and Phone apps.
Apple says Apple Intelligence has been designed to “get things done effortlessly”. The US tech giant has also integrated ChatGPT into its Siri and writing tools features. In a release last month, Apple said Apple Intelligence will be first launched in US English and will be expanded to other languages and localised English over the course.
