Revealing the Power of Apple Visual Intelligence: Unlocking New Insights

Unlock the Power of Visual Intelligence on Your iPhone 16

Visual Intelligence is a game-changer for iPhone 16 users, offering an innovative way to unlock the full potential of your device. At the launch of the iPhone 16 in September 2024, Visual Intelligence was surprisingly missing from the picture. But the wait is now over, with the release of iOS 18.2 in early December, bringing this groundbreaking feature to thousands of iPhones worldwide.

So, what is Visual Intelligence, and why is it a key part of the Apple Intelligence experience? Let’s dive in and explore the answers.

What is Apple Visual Intelligence?

Visual Intelligence is an exclusive feature of Apple Intelligence, designed to revolutionize the way you interact with your device. This feature leverages the new Camera Control button to scan an image and pull relevant information or complete a related action. For instance, snap a photo of a dog to discover its breed, a bike to find similar models for sale, or a poster to automatically add the event and date to your calendar.

How does it work?

With Visual Intelligence, your iPhone 16 can:

• Recognize objects, identifying what they are and providing additional information
• Add events to your calendar, such as concerts or meetings, by scanning a poster or flyer
• Search for similar products, like a specific bike model, by snapping a photo
• Work with third-party tools, like Google to search for products or ChatGPT for expert advice
• Provide privacy controls, allowing you to control data sharing and third-party app use

Is it private?

Yes, Visual Intelligence is designed with privacy in mind. You have control over when third-party tools are used and what information is shared. This means you can rest assured that your data remains secure.

Does it rival Google Lens?

While Google Lens is available on the iPhone, Visual Intelligence is exclusive to the iPhone 16 Series, granting iOS users a more level playing field without the need to circle around like Google’s Circle To Search.

When was Visual Intelligence released?

Visual Intelligence was released on December 11th as part of the iOS 18.2 update.

Which iPhone models support Visual Intelligence?

Visual Intelligence is currently exclusive to the iPhone 16 Series, including the cheapest iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models, which feature the new Camera Control button.
