As the iPhone 16 release approaches, Apple keeps testing iOS 18.1. With beta 4, Apple keeps adding more Apple Intelligence features. Alongside iOS 18.1, Apple is also seeding the fourth testing versions of iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1.
With the previous beta, Apple added the following Apple Intelligence features:
- Clean Up: This Photos app feature can identify and remove distracting objects in the background of a photo without accidentally altering the subject.
- Summarization: Apple Intelligence can now summarize more than just Messages and Mail notifications.
Besides that, iPhone 15 Pro users can take advantage of these functions with the latest iOS 18.1 beta:
- Writing Tools: Users can rewrite, proofread, and summarize text nearly everywhere they write, including Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party apps
- Improved Siri: With a new design, Siri can maintain context between requests. Even if you stumble over words or shift what you’re saying mid-sentence, Siri can understand what you actually want.
- Priority notifications: They appear at the top of the stack, letting you know what to pay attention to at a glance. Notifications are summarized, so you can scan them faster.
- Priority messages in Mail: Elevate time-sensitive messages to the top of your inbox, like an invitation that has a deadline today or a check-in reminder for your flight this afternoon.
- Reduce interruptions: With iOS 18.1 beta 1, an all-new Focus Mode understands the content of your notifications and shows you the ones that might need immediate attention, like a text about picking up your child from daycare later today.
- Email summarization: Tap to reveal a summary of a long email in the Mail app and cut to the chase.
- Record and transcribe calls in the Notes app: Just hit record in the Notes or Phone apps to capture audio recordings and transcripts. Apple Intelligence generates summaries of your transcripts, so you can get to the most important information at a glance.
- Smart Reply in Mail: Quickly draft an email response with all the right details. Apple Intelligence can identify the question you were asked in an email and offer relevant selections to include in your response.
BGR will let you know once we learn more about what’s new with iOS 18.1 beta 4. Alongside this version, Apple is also releasing the fourth beta version of iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 to developers.
