It's safe to say Apple Intelligence hasn't landed in the way Apple likely
hoped it would. However, that's not stopping the company from continuing to
iterate on its suite of AI features. During its WWDC 2025 conference on
Monday, Apple announced a collection of new features for Apple Intelligence,
starting with upgrades to Genmoji and Image Playground.

In Messages, for instance, you'll be able to use Image Playground to generate
colorful backgrounds for your group chats. At the same time, Apple has added
integration with ChatGPT to the tool, meaning it can produce images in
entirely new styles. As before, if you decide to use ChatGPT directly through
your iPhone in this way, your information won't be shared with OpenAI without
your permission.

Separately, Genmoji will allow users to combine two emoji from the Unicode
library to create new characters. For example, you might merge the sloth and
light bulb emoji if you want to poke fun at yourself for being slow to
understand a joke.

Visual Intelligence is also in line for an upgrade. Now in addition to
working with your iPhone's camera, the tool can scan what's on your screen.
Like Genmoji, Visual Intelligence will also benefit from deeper integration
with ChatGPT, allowing you to ask the chat bot questions about what you see.
Alternatively, you can search Google, Etsy and other supported apps to find
images or products that might be a visual match. And if the tool detects when
you're looking at an event, iOS 26 will suggest you add a reminder to your
calendar. Nifty that. If you want to access Visual Intelligence, all you need
to do is press the same buttons you would to take a screenshot on your
iPhone.

As expected, Apple is also making it possible for developers to use its on-
device foundational model for their own apps. "With the Foundation Models
framework, app developers will be able to build on Apple Intelligence to
bring users new experiences that are intelligent, available when theyΓÇÖre
offline, and that protect their privacy, using AI inference that is free of
cost," the company said in its press release. Apple suggests an educational
app like Kahoot! might use its on-device model to generate personalized
quizzes for users. According to the company, the framework supports Swift,
Apple's own coding language, and the model is as easy as writing three lines
of code.
