With iOS 26 finally previewed during the WWDC 2025 keynote, Apple is also adding a few new features to Apple Intelligence once it launches this software update later this fall. BGR has gathered everything coming to iOS 26 related to Apple Intelligence:
Live Translation: Integrated into Messages, FaceTime, and Phone, it helps users communicate across languages, translating text, and audio.
ChatGPT improvements: While the Siri with onscreen awareness is still a long-awaited feature, users will be able to ask ChatGPT questions about what they’re looking at onscreen to learn more. It can also search on Google, Etsy, or other supported apps to find similar images and products.
Visual Intelligence: This feature recognizes when a user is looking at an event and suggests adding it to their calendar, including all the details. Visual Intelligence can also work similar to Circle to Search. For example, you can screenshot a photo of a lamp, a jacket, and then you can search on Google to see similar pics or discover when to buy it.
Genmoji and Image Playground updates: Apple says iOS 26 improves these OG Apple Intelligence features as it’s now possible to mix emoji, Genmoji, and descriptions together to create something new. For example, you can combine a Genmoji with a standard emoji, or a description.
Shortcuts improvements: Apple is adding new shortcuts enabled by Apple Intelligence. Cupertino says users will see dedicated actions for features like Writing Tools and Image Playground.
Order tracking details: When you receive an email sent from merchants and delivery carriers, Apple Intelligence can automatically identify and summarize order tracking details from them.
Foundation Models Framework: Apple is giving developers direct access to intelligence features, which can be available offline, using AI inference that is free of cost.
