Apple has rolled out the iOS 18.2 Release Candidate (RC) for developers and beta testers, previewing several new features and AI-powered enhancements.
Set to arrive after the public release of iOS 18.1, this update focuses on making iPhones smarter and more user-friendly.
Key features include improvements to the Find My app, offering better ways to locate lost items with options like "Share Item Location" and "Show Contact Info."
The Mail app gets an upgrade with a new sorting system for better email organization.
Additionally, iPhone users can now bring back the volume slider on the lock screen and set a volume limit to protect speakers from loud music.
One of the most exciting additions is Genmoji, a feature that allows users to create custom emojis based on descriptions, powered by Apple Intelligence.
The Visual Intelligence feature, also part of the AI upgrade, offers advanced capabilities like identifying objects and scanning phone numbers through the camera.
Additionally, Image Playground allows users to create images based on text prompts, while Siri integrates ChatGPT to enhance its functionality.
These features are available to developers and testers with iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, and iPhone 16 models, though the general public can expect the final release soon.
