Apple has just announced the main free updates that reach Apple intelligence compatible devices, which will arrive as part of iOS 26, ipados 26, macos 26 and Watchos 26 at the end of this year.
The new characteristics of AI that arrive at these devices were sporadically exhibited throughout WWDC 2025, so we have compiled a list of all the main announcements to give it a breakdown of each Apple intelligence ad in the event.
Unfortunately, Apple did not show the Siri AI update that we expect, but the Cupertino -based company presented many new software improvements promoted by Apple Intelligence.
Here are Apple’s six intelligence improvements announced at WWDC 2025.
1. Live translation
The live translation “helps users to communicate in all languages when sending messages or speaking”, and is integrated directly into messages, Facetime and the application of the phone.
The live translation can automatically translate messages, add live subtitles translated to Facetime, and in a phone call it will be discussed out loud throughout the conversation, completely eliminating language barriers using AI.
Privacy will not be a problem, since Apple says that the new translation tool is executed in Apple’s own AI models and the “user personal conversations remain personal.”
2. Genmoji and image games updates
Apple launched Genmoji and Image Playground as part of the first wave of Apple’s intelligence characteristics, and now the company is improving its generative tools of Ia image.
Users can now convert text descriptions into emojis, as well as mix emojis and combine them with descriptions to create something new. You can also change expressions and adjust the personal attributes of genumjis made of photos of friends and family.
Image Playground is now obtaining chatgpt support to allow users to access new styles such as oil painting and vector art. Apple says: “Users always have control, and nothing is shared with ChatgPT without their permission.”
3. Visual intelligence can now see its screen
Visual intelligence could have been Apple’s best intelligence function, but now the exclusive iphone 16 tool is even better.
In WWDC, Apple announced that Visual Intelligence can now scan its screen, allowing users to search and take action on anything they are seeing in applications.
You can ask chatgpt questions about the content on your screen through Apple Intelligence, and this new feature can be accessed by taking a screenshot. When using the same buttons as a screenshot, you will be asked to save, share the screenshot or explore more with visual intelligence.

As someone who loves Gemini’s ability to see his screen, I am incredibly excited to see how visual intelligence addresses his new power that allows him to analyze what he is doing on his device.
4. Apple Intelligence on Apple Watch
The world’s most popular smart watch has just obtained AI functionality in training friend, a training experience with Apple Intelligence that “incorporates a user’s training data and fitness history to generate personalized and motivational information during their session.”
Apple says that the new feature is a “first training experience of its kind” and will offer “significant real -time inspiration” to keep it motivated in its exercise.
Once Apple Intelligence has analyzed its training data, “a new text model translates ideas into a dynamic generative voice built using fitness voice data+ coaches, so it has the appropriate energy, style and tone for training.”
Workout Buddy is the first exclusive characteristic of Apple Intelligence in Apple Watch and will require an iPhone supported by Apple’s intelligence nearby. At the launch, the training friend will be available in English and in the following types of training: “Run outdoors and interior, outdoor and interior walk, outdoor cycle, HIIT and functional and traditional strength training.”
5. Third -party applications have access to Apple Intelligence
While this announcement may not take holders, it is great for the future of Apple Intelligence: developers now have access to Apple base models.
What does that mean? Well, application developers can “build on Apple’s intelligence to bring new intelligent experiences, available when they are out of line and protect their privacy, using an inference of AI that is free of cost.”
Apple’s example is an education application that uses Apple’s intelligence model to generate a questionnaire of its notes, without any API cost.
This framework could completely change the way we, users, interact with our favorite third -party applications, now with the ability to take advantage of Apple’s models and make the user experience even more intuitive.
6. Aia
Last but not least, Apple announced Apple Intelligence Powers for the application. This is an important update to one of the best applications of Apple devices, allowing users to “take advantage of intelligent actions, a completely new set of shortcuts enabled by Apple Intelligence.”
Apple says that “direct accesses are supercharged with Apple Intelligence”, and can also take advantage of chatgpt to supervise their shortcuts.
Like the shortcut application, the real power here will be reduced to user creations and how people take advantage of this new ability. As someone who uses shortcuts daily, I am incredibly excited to see how Apple Intelligence improves experience.
7. Everything else
Together with these six main ads, Apple also announced that Apple Intelligence will scan and identify relevant actions of its emails, websites, notes and other content, and then automatically classify them in the Reminder application.
In another place, Apple Wallet can now “identify and summarize the details of monitoring of the emails sent from merchants or delivery operators. This works in all the orders of a user, giving them the ability to see the details of their complete orders, progress notifications and more in one place.”
Finally, the messages are obtaining the functionality of the Apple Intelligence Survey, which can detect when a survey can be useful. The messages are also obtaining funds generated by AI that can be created for each conversation using image playground.
