Even after you’ve installed the iOS 18.1 update, you need to take an extra step before you can access the iPhone’s new AI features, like message summaries and easy object removal in photos.
iOS 18.1, Apple’s latest mobile operating system update, finally brings AI — er, Apple Intelligence — features to everyone with a newer iPhone, including the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro. iPads with M-series processors (from about 2020 or beyond) or the brand-new iPad Mini also can add Apple Intelligence features, with iPad OS 18.1.
But installing the latest updates doesn’t automatically add the Apple Intelligence features to your devices. You’ll need to request access to Apple Intelligence and join a waitlist.
