iOS 18.3 is available today in Release Candidatethat is to say the version likely to be deployed to the general public, unless particularly annoying bugs are discovered at the last moment. The latter was installed by many testers, who noticed that Apple Intelligence is now activated by default when the device is restarted.
If you do not want to use Genmoji to personalize your conversations, Image Playground to generate images of your loved ones created by AI or even writing tools to summarize your emails or refine your texts, you will now have to deactivate them in the device settings.
iOS 18.3 also disables notification summaries from news apps. Apple's system had caused some problems, with descriptions that were at best haphazard and at worst misleading. The brand preferred to stop the costs for the moment, while it reviews its copy. Finally, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro owners can use their smartphone's camera to obtain information about a place or object by pointing at the lens while keeping their finger pressed on the “Camera control” button. .
-For us Europeans, Apple Intelligence should arrive in April 2025 with iOS 18.4. It is likely that the first beta of this update will arrive in the next few days, and Apple could on this occasion open the floodgates to the first testers so that they can try the services localized in French. We'll let you know when the beta is available.
