JAKARTA - Apple has promised a variety of new features for iOS 18, but some of them are not yet available in beta versions iOS 18.0 and iOS 18.1. Many of these features are expected to come to iOS 18.2 update, which is likely to be released in December 2024, if there are no delays.
One of the most anticipated features is ChatGPT support in Siri. Apple CEO Tim Cook, in his last earnings call, confirmed that ChatGPT's integration into Siri will come "before the end of this year." This feature is expected to bring a significant improvement in Siri's capabilities, leveraging technology from OpenAI, which Apple is also investing in OpenAI's latest funding round.
In addition, the Genmoji feature, introduced in WWDC last June, is also in the spotlight. While not yet available on beta iOS 18.0 and 18.1, signs from the latest beta version suggest that Genmoji is likely to be present later this year. Genmoji allows users to create more personal and interactive emojis, adding to new experiences in communicating.
The Mail app will also get a significant update with a fresher new design and better category grouping. The app is expected to come in the iOS 18.2 update, providing users with a more efficient and organized experience in managing emails.

In addition, Apple also revealed a new screen to select the default browser in the European Union earlier this year. Starting later this year, users at the EU will more frequently view this screen, especially Safari users who will be asked to check their browser settings whenever they update the device, prepare new devices, or once a year. This change shows Apple's compliance with new regulations in the European Union demanding transparency and wider choices for users.
Another anticipated feature is full support for vacuum cleaner robots. The Home app on iOS 18.2 is expected to fully support the features of vacuum cleaner robots, including power control, cleaning mode, suction, floor cleaning, and charging status. Users will also be able to interact with vacuum robots using Siri, bringing more comfort in smart home management.
The iOS 18.2 update is expected to be one of the most anticipated later this year, with a variety of new features that will improve the experience of iPhone users. We will continue to monitor further developments regarding this update and provide up-to-date information when these features are released.
