Siri, meet ChatGPT. On Wednesday, Apple released updated versions of its iOS software, iOS 18.2, meaning that iPhone, iPad and Mac users can choose to integrate the artificial intelligence chatbot Chat GPT with Apple’s virtual assistant, Siri. While ChatGPT has been available on the iPhone without iOS 18.2, this update integrates ChatGPT into Siri, if the user chooses.
You’ll need to have a iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max or a device from the iPhone 16 lineup to receive the update, but even if you have another iPhone, you’ll still receive new features, including updates to your Mail and Find My apps.
