How to Make the Most of Apple Intelligence in iOS 18

Apple’s latest update, iOS 18, has officially introduced Apple Intelligence, and it’s changing the way we interact with our iPhones. Whether you're replying to emails, organizing your life, or creating content on the go, Apple Intelligence turns your iPhone into your smartest assistant yet.

What is Apple Intelligence?

Apple Intelligence is Apple’s own suite of on-device AI features, designed to enhance your experience while protecting your privacy. Unlike traditional AI systems that rely on cloud processing, Apple Intelligence is private by design; most of the data processing happens directly on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

With iOS 18, Apple Intelligence adds power to built-in apps like Mail, Notes, Messages, and Photos and gives Siri a serious upgrade

1. Write Better, Faster with Writing Tools

Apple Intelligence brings smart writing tools systemwide. Whether you're sending a business email, writing a product description, or replying to messages, you can now:

• Rewrite: Choose between Friendly, Professional, or Concise tones
• Proofread: Get grammar and style suggestions instantly
• Summarise: Cut long emails or articles into bite-sized insights

Perfect for UAE freelancers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who types a lot from their iPhone

2. Smart Photo Editing Made Easy

Apple Intelligence also powers the Photos app with enhanced tools like:

• Clean Up: Remove background objects (like someone photobombing your beach photo in Jumeirah).
• Search by context: Find “pics of the kids at Global Village” or “passport photo from last year.”
• Memories creation: Just type a prompt like “Our Ras Al Khaimah road trip,” and your iPhone creates an emotional highlight reel, music and all.

3. Smarter Messages with Genmoji & Summary

Your Messages app is now infused with AI. iOS 18 introduces:

• Genmoji: Create your own emojis using AI—try “camel wearing sunglasses” or “a happy falcon in a kandura.”
• Message summary: Missed a group chat? Apple Intelligence gives you a quick summary so you’re instantly caught up.

4. Siri Is More Capable Than Ever

Siri gets a massive intelligence boost in iOS 18, thanks to AI integration.
You can now:

• Ask Siri to find a photo your friend sent in WhatsApp last week
• Dictate longer messages and have Siri rewrite them in your chosen tone
• Request on-device actions like “Open that file I was editing yesterday” or “Schedule this for 4 PM”

5. Privacy Built In

One of the biggest strengths of Apple Intelligence is that your data stays yours. Most AI features are processed on-device, and when your iPhone needs to connect to Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, it does so without storing or selling your information.

So you get powerful AI tools without compromising privacy, a major plus for UAE users concerned about data security
