Apple just released iOS 18.1.1, but it’s iOS 18.2 that will come with exciting image generation features, such as “Image Playground,” Apple’s image creation feature that creates cartoon-like images from text descriptions.
Here’s what you need to know about the Apple Intelligence feature, including what it is, how to use it, and when it launches.
Image Playground is part of Apple Intelligence, a range of AI-driven tools from Apple. The new feature enables users to enter a text prompt, and the AI will produce an image that has a cartoon style.
You can access Image Playground through the dedicated image creation app or via the Messages app by clicking the plus (+) button on the left side of the text box.
The Playground app is available on the Home Screen; look for an icon that resembles a white cat or fox (or possibly another furry creature; we’re not completely certain).
