Writing Tools has been one of the more visible Apple Intelligence features since it was first announced in June.
It can be used across the Mail, Notes, and Messages apps. It’s meant to help you whenever you type text. For example, it can help you craft a response to an email or give suggestions on whatever you’re writing.
You can select a passage for it to proofread, summarize in bullets, or change the tone to sound more professional or friendly.
Summaries have come to Messages.
The Photos app also looks different with Apple Intelligence.
One useful tool is Clean Up. It can be found in the same place you’d find other photo-editing features, like crop, but this tool uses AI.
You can use Clean Up to scrub away unwanted elements in the background of photos. The tool will highlight distracting items in the picture, and you can use your finger to erase them.
The new picture is passable compared to the original from afar. However, when you zoom in, you may notice some visual anomalies.
The Mail app can summarize emails and suggest responses.
The Reduce Interruptions mode may require some tailoring to reach its full potential. Like other Focus modes, you can schedule it and select the people or apps that you’d still like to receive notifications from.
You may not be alerted to a normal text message if you’re in Reduce Interruptions mode, but someone saying “It’s an emergency” should prompt a notification.
It’s unclear if there’s a list of specific words that will trigger a notification while using this feature. Apple, in a disclaimer on its website, said Apple Intelligence “outputs may vary.”
