The iOS 18.2 public beta 2 brings valuable updates, especially for AI, user customization, and improved functionality. Users can now integrate ChatGPT Plus directly in Settings for enhanced Siri responses. The Notes app adds a “Create Image” feature, turning selected text into visuals, enhancing creative use of notes.
Find My now lets users share a lost item’s location via a web link, which even non-Apple users can access—useful for travelers. The Mail app offers a setting to limit notification badges to unread messages in the “Primary” category, reducing distraction.
For iPhone 16 users, Camera Control gains a customizable focus and exposure lock, with adjustable double-click speeds for accessibility. The Settings and AirPlay icons now match the Home Screen tint, giving a more cohesive look, and mirroring is now available while using an iPhone hotspot.
These updates show Apple’s focus on making iOS more accessible, customizable, and productive.
