The iOS 18 update will include a new app called Image Playground, which is entirely powered by artificial intelligence. You can use it to create images and emojis. It is available for the new operating systems introduced by Apple to the world, such as iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and... iPadOS 18. Follow along with us and we will explain to you all the details about the new Image Playground application from Apple, and what features it offers you.
Apple unveils the new Image Playground application!
Apple revealed the Image Playground app during its developer conference keynote presentation as part of its Artificial Intelligence, or Apple Intelligence, program.
With Image Playground you will be able to create the images you want from three styles: cartoon, illustration or drawing. The goal is to leverage artificial intelligence with user-specific suggestions. This is because the new application is integrated into some applications such as Messages and is also available separately. What's amazing is that you can create images of people in your photo library.
For example, if you want to create a photo of one of your friends wearing a certain team's shirt, hat, etc.; All of this has become possible with iOS 18. In addition, creating images has become possible by choosing descriptions of pre-existing images or by using new text descriptions if you want.
This indicates that you, as a user, have the option to choose from among the descriptions that Apple specifies for you, such as choosing locations, accessories, etc. Or you can choose things from your imagination, and the application will do them for you with ease.
How did Apple introduce the Image Playground application during the developers conference?
During the Apple Developers Conference, Apple explained to attendees that its new application generates images in three forms:
- Animation or animation.
- Illustration or illustrations.
- Sketch or hand drawing.
In addition, some sources indicated that Apple intended to introduce another form, which was line art. But based on what we saw in the final version of the application, it did not appear. Perhaps it will appear in upcoming updates. The Image Playground application also features integration with system applications such as Pages, Messages, Freeform and Keynote. This allows users to create Genmojis.
All of these features will provide the user with new ways to express themselves or their ideas, but in ways outside the box. In addition, such methods make conversations and messages more fun and enthusiastic.
In the same context, Apple has created an API for the Image Playground application, which will allow developers to include artificial intelligence image creation in their applications. We can say that the new photo application is a small part of Apple's initiative in the field of artificial intelligence. It confirms the extent of Apple's interest in artificial intelligence and the fierce competition in it. This is what we saw when Apple was explaining the Apple Intelligence program, such as text summaries, Siri functions, and others.
