- Siri on iOS 18.2 lets users scan and analyze the content on their iPhone screens using ChatGPT.
- The feature could be a decent Visual Intelligence replacement for those with iPhone 15 Pro models, iPads, and Macs.
- Next year, Siri will become natively aware of on-screen content, allowing it to execute more advanced tasks inside apps.
iOS 18.2 developer beta 1 introduces Visual Intelligence exclusively on the iPhone 16. Through it, users can scan their surroundings and have ChatGPT or Google’s reverse image search provide details about the location or subject. Notably, iOS 18.2 also packs a hidden alternative to this feature, allowing iPhone 15 Pro, iPad, and Mac users to rely on ChatGPT to analyze images and on-screen content.
As spotted by 9to5Mac, Siri on iOS 18.2 lets users directly identify content on their screens with the help of ChatGPT. When you ask Siri to rely on ChatGPT to identify a building on your iPhone, for example, it’ll automatically take a screenshot. Once you approve sending the screenshot to OpenAI’s servers, ChatGPT will describe what it sees. You could then send follow-up questions if you’re interested in learning more.
