It’s 2025!
There’s nothing more buzzing on the internet than “Apple Intelligence”!
AI (Apple Intelligence) has become the town’s talk, from offline hoardings to online platforms!
Though the appreciation has already been underway, Apple (excitedly) has just rolled out the first significant update to its AI platform!
A couple of days ago, Fast Company announced on Twitter that “Apple just bought ChatGPT to iPhones, iPads, and Macs.”
So, now the question arises- What’s new in Apple’s new core update to its AI platform?
The new update includes a central “sensational feature”- ChatGPT integration into Siri and Apple Intelligence’s writing tools.
Such a seamless amalgamation helps save time and generate “text” to build your academic credibility or enhance your workplace productivity.
Excited to learn more about the new Apple Intelligence update? If so, let’s dive in!
How Apple’s New ChatGPT Integration May Maximize Your Potential?
Since Apple Intelligence launched in October 2024, it is the first intelligence update poised to offer multiple productivity benefits. But one aspect that would be the “Primary” driver behind all of this- “Siri.” With many iOS 18 updates, iOS 18 Siri has gotten way more intelligent than its predecessors (iOS 17).
Let’s look at how Apple’s latest ChatGPT integration can revolutionize the daily tasks of an Apple user.
#1. Answering Questions
The moment Apple started rolling out updates on iOS 18, Siri has been upgraded, too! With the additional integration of ChatGPT, users can now ask for personal information on their devices and get instant results. For example,
- You can ask what your brother’s phone number is.
- You can use ChatGPT to ask, “Who was the first president of the US?”
Then, the results will be displayed on your screen!
That’s one of the biggest reasons why Apple has now integrated ChatGPT. All you have to do is;
Activate Siri (on iPhone & iPad)- Hold the side button. In the case of Mac, click on the “Siri” button in the menu bar.
Then, say, “Use ChatGPT” before asking the question. Siri will then source your answer directly from OpenAI’s chatbot.
#2. Text Generation
Another major update of Apple’s ChatGPT integration is that it has now introduced a wide range of writing tools to all Apple devices, including iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Speaking of its functioning, it can quickly rewrite the already written text to help you refine your message (what you’re saying), facilitating smoother and error-free communication.
Let’s say your company’s Board of Directors aligned you in a meeting with them, and you’ll have to prepare ongoing reports. How would you do that? You cannot expect to make grammatical or language errors since you’re about to draft a series of professional emails.
Thus, with ChatGPT integration, you can easily create a more professionally sound email that will make a good impression and make your work worthwhile.
It is no secret that ChatGPT integration in Apple Intelligence allows users to access Gen AI writing features in any field across multiple Apple devices.
But again, the question arises: How do I enable and access ChatGPT on an Apple iPhone?
Let’s start with the tips for enabling ChatGPT on your Apple device!
How do you enable ChatGPT on your Apple iPhone device?
Remember that before using ChatGPT, you should know how to enable both Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT. Without further ado, let’s dive in!
- First, open the “Settings” App (if you’re using a Mac, click “System Settings”).
- Then, you need to tap/click Apple Intelligence & Siri.
- After that, you’re required to “Toggle” the Apple Intelligence switch on.
- Then, under the Extension header, tap/click ChatGPT.
- On the ChatGPT extension screen, you must toggle the Use “ChatGPT” switch on.
Note: Apple users don’t need an Open AI/ChatGPT account to use “ChatGPT” with Apple Intelligence. On the other hand, if you have a ChatGPT account, you can sign into it on the “ChatGPT” extension screen.
Now, the question arises-Should you need to do it? Well, in my opinion, it entirely depends on your “Privacy.” If you want to avoid logging into your ChatGPT account, no matter what queries you make to ChatGPT via AI, it will not be used to train ChatGPT models further.
How to Use ChatGPT on Your Apple iPhone & iPad?
Now that you have learned how to enable ChatGPT on your Apple device, it’s time to understand how to use ChatGPT on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Let’s take a quick look at them.
- Unlock your Apple device and then press and release in a text field.
- From the contextual menu, you then may need to click on “Writing Tools.”
- When the “Writing Tools” sheet appears, you may need to click “Compose”.
- After that, click the “Compose With ChatGPT” field and describe what you want “ChatGPT” to write.
- Once you’re done, click the “Send” button. ChatGPT will then provide you with the relevant text.
But what if you have a Mac? Well, don’t worry; we’ve got you covered, too!
How to Use ChatGPT For Mac?
Here are the ways to use ChatGPT for Mac.
- In the first step, you may need to open your MacBook.
- Then, you need to right-click in a text field. After that, you may need to select “Writing Tools” from the contextual menu.
- When the “Compose with ChatGPT” field comes on your screen, type a description of what you want to be written and press the enter button.
- In the final step, ChatGPT will generate the apt text. Then, click the “Insert” button to insert it into the document you’re working on.
But the real question is: Is my iOS 17 eligible for Apple’s ChatGPT integration?
ChatGPT Apple Intelligence integration will likely support iOS 18.2, iPad 18.2, and macOS 15.2. Speaking of the eligible devices for ChatGPT integration, you should have an iPhone 15 or later, an iPad Air with an M1 chip, and an iPad Mini with the A17 Pro chip.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it! That’s a wrap to Apple’s ChatGPT integration to enhance your iOS experience! The integration of ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence will likely improve the overall experience. Remember that it’s just an initial update. It primarily focuses on AI-enabled writing tools, which may benefit work productivity.
