Visual Intelligence and Prioritized Notifications

Let's talk about seeing stuff and getting alerts. It's all about being smart!

Visual Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max

Good news! iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max now have Visual Intelligence. Before, only iPhone 16 had it. Now, you can use it too. It's like having Google Lens, but on your iPhone!

How do you use it? Go to Settings, then Action button. Swipe to find Visual Intelligence. Or, add it to your Control Center. Tap the screen, then press "Add Control". Find "Visual Intelligence".

Prioritizing Notifications with Apple Intelligence

Too many alerts? "Prioritize Notifications" is here! AI sorts your alerts. It puts the important ones up top. No more missing what matters!

Ambient Music and Safari Enhancements

Let's groove to tunes and surf smarter! It's all about making things fun and easy.

Discovering Ambient Music

Need some chill time? Try Ambient Music! Find it in Control Center. It's got moods like Sleep and Chill. Just pick a mood. Then, let the music play!

Here's the catch: it's not Apple Music. It's its own thing. You don't need a membership. It's all free! But, you can't pick songs. It just plays what fits the mood.

Streamlining Safari with Recent Searches

Safari now shows recent searches. Tap the search bar. Your past searches pop up. Fast and easy!

Don't like it? No problem! Turn it off in Settings. Go to Safari, then turn off "Show Recent Searches". Now, it's gone.

The Photos app has new filters. Go to Albums, then tap the three dots. Pick "Key Photos". Big and awesome!
