And with the Photo Magic Wand in Notes, users can make notes more engaging by turning rough sketches into beautiful images, simply by circling the drawing with Apple Pencil. Users can even circle a blank space within a note, and the Photo Magic Wand will pull in context from the surrounding area to create a relevant image that complements the note and makes it more visually appealing.

Apple’s intelligence helps users explore new creative ways to express themselves visually with the Photo World app, create the perfect emoji with Genmoji, and make their writing more dynamic with Writing Tools. Users can now write to Siri, which is more conversational and understands even when users stutter. Siri can also maintain context from one request to the next, and with its deep product knowledge, it can answer thousands of questions about Apple product features and settings, so users can learn how to do things like screen recording.

With ChatGPT seamlessly integrated into writing tools and Siri, users can tap into ChatGPT’s expertise without switching between apps, so they can get things done faster and easier than ever before. And they can access ChatGPT for free without having to create an account.
