The Apple Intelligence platform offers several AI features. Even though they didn't land with iOS 18, iOS 18.1 will soon bring many of them to iPhone 15 Pro (or newer) users. If you're running the developer's or public betas, you can already take advantage of Writing Tools, one of the many functions available with Apple Intelligence.
In this article, you'll learn what Writing Tools is all about, how to take the most out of it, and why you should be using it now.
Work smarter, not harder, with Writing Tools
Apple says Apple Intelligence powers new Writing Tools, which "help you find just the right words virtually everywhere you write." With enhanced language capabilities, you can summarize an entire lecture in seconds, get the short version of a long group thread, and minimize unnecessary distractions with prioritized notifications. Here's how to take advantage of it.
