Apple introduced Apple Intelligence approximately three months ago with the release of the iOS 18.1 update. Since that time, features related to Apple Intelligence have been progressively appearing on devices throughout the entire lineup. The forthcoming significant update, iOS 18.4, is anticipated to be announced in April 2025. This update is expected to include substantial Apple Intelligence enhancements for iPhone users. Below are some of the AI features from Apple that are likely to be included in iOS 18.4.

1. Siri’s New App Action Catalog
Apple is set to implement a system of App Intents, allowing iOS 18.4 to empower Siri with the capability to execute hundreds of new app actions without requiring users to open the applications. Siri will be able to carry out these tasks across multiple apps. For instance, users can request Siri to search for a particular photo, apply edits, and then save it into a designated folder within the Files app, all through voice commands.
2. Onscreen awareness of Siri
Apple’s introduction of Vision Pro, featuring visionOS that continuously recognizes what users are viewing, was a remarkable moment for many. A similar functionality is set to be integrated into iOS 18.4 Siri, extending this capability to iPhone, iPad, and Mac users. This onscreen awareness will allow users to make Siri requests that directly relate to what they are currently observing. The assistant will interpret your commands effectively. For instance, if a friend sends you a new location for tonight’s gathering via iMessage, you can simply say, “Add this address to the calendar and remind me,” and Siri will execute the task without requiring further details.
3. Priority Notifications
The revamped mail application currently includes a Priority feature, and soon, artificial intelligence will enhance this by bringing the most significant notifications to the forefront of your notification list. Priority Notifications will leverage Apple Intelligence’s language comprehension capabilities to identify what qualifies as a particularly critical alert. This advancement will reduce the need for users to manage notifications manually, ensuring that they never overlook essential updates.
4. Personal Context Knowledge
Siri is set to improve significantly with the integration of Apple Intelligence, allowing it to gain a deeper understanding of you as a person by leveraging essential knowledge that the assistant possesses. For instance, if you received a cherished recipe from your mother and can’t recall its location—be it in an email, note, or text—Siri will effortlessly locate it for you, eliminating the need for a tedious search. Additionally, you can securely store vital information such as your passport number, PAN number, and bank account details with Siri, ensuring that this information is both accessible and protected.

5. Sketch Style in Image Playground
Apple has introduced the Image Playground app, offering three distinct style options for images: Animation, Illustration, and Sketch. Although the Image Playground was absent in iOS 18.3, there is anticipation for its return in iOS 18.4, which is expected to enhance original AI image creations with a new stylistic approach.
6. Apple Intelligence in the EU
Apple has announced that it will introduce comprehensive Apple Intelligence support in the EU in April with the release of iOS 18.4. Currently, AI functionalities are limited to Mac devices in the EU; however, iPads and iPhones will soon gain access to these Apple AI features as well.
New AI Languages
Apple is planning to bring new language support for Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.4. The list includes Chinese, English (India and Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, and more.
Some new iOS 18.4 features will include improved news summaries, new emojis, default map and translation apps in the EU, Robot vacuum support in the Home app, and more.
Most likely Apple’s New Intelligence features with iOS 18.4 will debut during or before WWDC 2025.
