Apple I have just announced large free upgrades that came to Apple Intelligence-compatible devices that arrive as part of iOS 26, iPados 26, MacOS 26 and Watchos 26 later this year.
The new AI functions that came to these devices were sporadically exhibited WWDC 2025So we have compiled a list of all the important announcements to give you a breakdown of each Apple Intelligence announcement during the event.
Unfortunately, Apple did not show the Siri AI upgrade on which we had hoped, but the company established in Cupertino has unveiled many new software improvements that have been driven by Apple Intelligence.
The six major upgrades of Apple Intelligence have been announced on this WWDC 2025.
1. Live translation
Live translation “helps users about communicating languages in messages or speaking”, and is directly integrated into messages, Facetime and the telephone app.
Live translation can automatically translate messages, translated live captions to Facetime, and during a telephone conversation the translation is spoken aloud during the conversation, whereby the language barriers are completely deleted with the help of AI.
Privacy will also not be a problem, because Apple says that the new translation tool runs on Apple’s own AI models and “remain personal conversations of users”.
2. Genmoji and Upgrades for Beeldpleeltuin
Apple launched Genmoji and Image Playground as part of the first Gulf of Apple Intelligence functions, and now the company is improving its generative AI image tools.
Users can now convert text descriptions into emojis and combine emojis and combine with descriptions to make something new. You can also change expressions and adjust personal attributes of Genmojis made of photos of friends and family members.
Image Playground now gets chatgpt support so that users have access to brand new styles such as oil paint and vector art. Apple says: “Users always have control and nothing is shared with chatgpt without their permission.”
3. Visual intelligence can now see your screen
Visual intelligence may already have been the best Apple Intelligence function, but now the exclusive iPhone 16 AI tool is even better.
At WWDC, Apple announced that visual intelligence can now scan your screen, allowing users to search and take action on everything they view in apps.
You can ask chatgpt questions about content on your screen via Apple Intelligence, and this new function is accessible by creating a screenshot. When you use the same buttons as a screenshot, you will be asked to save, share or explore the screenshot with visual intelligence.
As someone who loves Gemini’s power to see your screen, I am incredibly excited to see how visual intelligence tackles his new power that allows you to analyze what you do on your device.
4. Apple Intelligence on Apple Watch
The world’s most popular smartwatch has just received AI functionality in the form of Workout Buddy, a training experience with Apple Intelligence that “records the training data and fitness history of a user to generate personalized, motivating insights during their session.”
Apple says that the new position is a “first of its kind of training experience” and will offer “meaningful inspiration in real time” to keep you motivated during your exercise.
As soon as Apple Intelligence has analyzed your training data, “a new text-to-speech model then translates insights into a dynamic generative voice built with speech data from Fitness+ trainers, so it has the right energy, style and show for a training.”
Workout Buddy is the first exclusive Apple Intelligence function on Apple Watch And requires an Apple intelligence-supported iPhone in the area. During the launch, Workout Buddy will be available in English and about the following training types: “Outside and inner run, outdoor and interior walk, outdoor cycle, HIIT and functional and traditional strength training.”
5. Apps from third parties have Apple Intelligence Access
Although this announcement may not take newspaper heads, it is a big one for the future of Apple Intelligence: developers now have access to Apple’s foundation models.
What exactly does that mean? Well, App developers can “build on Apple Intelligence to bring users new experiences that are intelligent, are available when they are offline, and that protect their privacy, using AI infection that is free.”
The example of Apple is an educational app that uses the Apple Intelligence model to generate a quiz from your notes, without API costs.
This framework can completely change the way in which we, users, deal with our favorite external apps, now with the possibility to tap Apple’s AI models and make the user experience even more intuitive.
6. AI-driven shortcuts
Last but not least announced Apple Apple Intelligence Powers for the shortcuts app. This is an important upgrade to one of the best apps on Apple devices, so that users “can tap into intelligent promotions, a completely new set of shortcuts made possible by Apple Intelligence.”
Apple says “shortcuts are supercharged with Apple Intelligence”, and you can also tap Chatgpt to make your shortcuts too superpower.
Just like the shortcuts app, the true power will amount to user creations here and how people use this new option. As someone who uses shortcuts every day, I am incredibly enthusiastic to see how Apple Intelligence improves the experience.
7. All the other
In addition to these six important announcements, Apple has also announced that Apple Intelligence will scan and identify and identify relevant actions of your E emails, websites, notes and other content and then automatically categorize them in the app reminders app.
Elsewhere, Apple Wallet can now identify and summarize order tracking data that have been sent by traders or delivery carriers. This works in all orders of a user, giving them the option of seeing their full order data, progress reports and more in one place. “
Finally, messages get the function of Apple Intelligence Poll, which can detect when a poll can be useful. The Message app also receives AI-generated backgrounds that can be made for every conversation with the help of Image Playground.
