Unleash New Features with ChatGPT Plus in iOS 18.2's Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence Enhancements

On Monday, Apple announced the second developer beta of iOS 18.2, unveiling additional Apple Intelligence features. Users can upgrade to ChatGPT Plus directly within Settings. The first round began with the initial beta of iOS 18.2, and this second update introduces features such as Genmoji, Image Playground, Image Wand, and Visual Intelligence.

Upgrading to ChatGPT Plus

To upgrade to ChatGPT Plus, ensure you are using the latest iOS 18.2 developer beta. Navigate to Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > ChatGPT to see the upgrade option. With the new ChatGPT Plus upgrade, users are informed of a daily usage limit on the free version of ChatGPT, which can be monitored in Settings.

Integration Details

The terms surrounding Apple and OpenAI's partnership integrating ChatGPT into Apple devices were initially unclear, with reports indicating that Apple may not have paid for this collaboration. Recent clarifications reveal that while some features are free, others require a paid subscription.

Benefits of ChatGPT Plus Subscription

If you frequently use ChatGPT, the $19.99 ChatGPT Plus subscription is likely worth considering. Benefits include:

• Increased message limits—send up to 5 times more messages on GPT-4.
• Higher file upload limits and the ability to browse the web.
• Smoother, real-time conversations thanks to ChatGPT's improved voice feature.

Additionally, users gain access to OpenAI o1-preview and OpenAI o1-mini. The public version of iOS 18.2 is set to launch in early December.
