Apple Intelligence is now rolling out in more areas. In iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 – available today – Apple Intelligence has now come to the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Previously it was only available for US English users.
To update your iPhone or iPad, just head in to the Settings app, General, and then Software Update. It might take a while to download at first as with any other big update.

Apple Intelligence is available on iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad with A17 Pro or M1 and later, and Mac with M1 and later.
Also out today is watchOS 11.2, tvOS 18.2, and visionOS 2.2.
Apple Intelligence is still a work in process and features are being staggered. In particular Genmoji, Image Wand, and Image Playground are not necessarily going to give you the results you expect and expect that to be refined as time goes on.
For writing, users can now rewrite, proofread, and summarise text across various apps like Mail, Notes, Pages and some third-party apps with Writing Tools. The Mail app now has an Urgent section at the inbox’s top, message summaries for quick previews, and a Smart Reply that identifies questions for rapid responses (also in the Messages app).
Siri gets a visual upgrade with a glowing edge light and now smoothly switches between text and voice commands. This smart assistant also retains context between interactions and offers device support guides for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But the full personal context features aren’t here just yet and you won’t notice an amazing amount of change with Siri itself. You can now ‘type to Siri’ as well by tapping on the bar at the bottom of the screen. ChatGPT integration is present, and you can sign into your OpenAI account if you have one.
Most controversially so far, you’ll also get notification summaries that give you a brief overview of your messages or other notifications. This has a reasonable hit-rate, but you’ll notice that this still needs work.
A new Focus mode has been added to limit notifications strictly to urgent ones, helping reduce interruptions. In the Photos app, users can search by natural language, find specific video moments, create Memories based on descriptive storylines, and enjoy transcript summaries.
