Even though Apple has released iOS 18.2, there are additional Apple Intelligence features that will be coming in updates to iOS 18 in 2025.
Priority notifications will show up at the top of your notification stack, so you can get to what's most important first.
SiriSome initial Siri updates are available in iOS 18.1, such as Siri's new glow that encompasses the edges of the display, and ChatGPT integration is coming in iOS 18.2, but we'll need to wait for iOS 18.3 and iOS 18.4 for additional Siri capabilities. Apple is working on onscreen awareness, personal context, and the ability to take more actions in and across apps.
Onscreen awareness will let Siri take actions when you ask something about what's on your display. If you're looking at a photo and want to message it to your friend Eric, you'll be able to tell Siri to "Send this picture to Eric," and Siri will understand and do it.
Personal context will let Siri do more with your personal data like emails and messages. This is an on-device feature, and it will let Siri learn more about you, who you're communicating with, and how you use your device. Personal context will let you do things like ask Siri to find a specific message, or remind you when you took a photo that you're looking for.
The Siri option to take more actions in and across apps will drastically improve what Siri is capable of. You'll be able to move files from one app to another and control app functions with Siri that you never could before. It'll work in third-party apps as well as Apple's own apps.
Sketch Style for Image PlaygroundAs of right now, Image Playground has two different styles to choose from, animation and illustration. There is a third, though, that Apple plans to add in the future. Sketch is described as a "highly detailed and academic" style that "produces gorgeous drawings on stark backgrounds." It is distinct from the illustration style that has strong outlines, bold colors, and simple shapes, and the animation style that has a "whimsical, 3D cartoon look."

If you want to see what the sketch style looks like, you can check it out in the Image Wand feature in the Notes app, where it is available now. macOS FeaturesMemory Maker is in iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, but not macOS Sequoia 15.1. Genmoji is in iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2, but not macOS Sequoia 15.2.
Apple plans to release Memory Maker and Genmoji for macOS Sequoia at a later time.
More LanguagesApple plans to add support for more languages in 2025, including Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Apple says that the first "set" of new languages will come in a software update in April (likely iOS 18.4), while more will come throughout the year.
Apple Intelligence Support in the European UnionApple plans to start rolling out Apple Intelligence features to iPhone and iPad users in the European Union in April. EU users will officially get access to Writing Tools, Genmoji, the updated Siri with better language understanding, Siri ChatGPT integration, and more.
When to Expect More Apple Intelligence FeaturesMore Apple Intelligence features will come in iOS 18.3 and iOS 18.4.
In late January or so, we'll get iOS 18.3, which could potentially have some new Siri features.
iOS 18.4, which isn't expected until around April 2025, will have the bulk of the Siri Apple Intelligence features. We're also expecting to see Apple roll out support for additional languages in 2025.
