Partial Intelligence

While iOS 18.1 brings some AI features, it lacks other major capabilities, for example, the Image Creation suit including Image Playground, Genmoji, and Magic Wand isn’t part of this software release.

Even though Apple mentioned advanced Siri interactions in the iOS 18.1 changelog but it’s actually not there. You will only experience the new user interface and animations.

Furthermore, ChatGPT integration is missing from this new software update.
