Apple has released the iOS 18.1 developer beta for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 which initially gives users a taste of a limited number of Apple Intelligence features. Apple Intelligence is the company’s suite of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies (as announced WWDC24 in June) designed to enhance user experience on their devices. 

The first wave of features to try is reported to include writing tools (proofread text, rewrite, and text summarising), Siri with and updated design, new Mail features (e.g., a summarise button for incoming emails), natural language search in Photos, audio transcripts, phone call recording, and more. 

Although a limited number of Apple Intelligence features in this beta version, it’s been reported that other (beta) features will roll out later this year.
