That kind of thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Siri can also help explain how to do certain functions on your phone if you&#8217;re not sure (maybe Samsung was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/samsung-galaxy-s8-bixby\/\">onto something with Bixby<\/a>). And if you make a mistake mid-sentence, there&#8217;s no need to start all over again. Siri will be able to understand your slip-up, and it also understands the context of your previous query, so you won&#8217;t need to repeat things over and over again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Much like how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/google-io-gemini-on-android-circle-to-search\/\">Google&#8217;s Gemini is drawing on context<\/a> based on what&#8217;s happening on the screen, Siri can now understand what is on the screen when you activate it, so if someone texts you an address, you can activate Siri and ask it to add the address to the person&#8217;s contact card.

The company says it&#8217;s using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/openai-gpt-4o-model-gives-chatgpt-a-snappy-flirty-upgrade\/\">GPT-4o model<\/a>, and you are in control of when Siri uses ChatGPT. This powers features such as when you ask about the subject of a photo or a document (like scanning a hundred-page PDF), and Compose, which lets you generate original images and text from a query.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">All of these GPT features are free with no account required, though if you already are a subscriber, you can link your account and access paid features.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"paywall\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">New Features in iOS 18<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">OK, onto the more traditional software features.

Now, you have a photo grid at the top, and below, you can swipe through different collections, such as Recent Days, Trips, and People &amp; Pets. This upgrade is tied with several other improvements powered by Apple Intelligence, like Clean Up, which can erase unwanted objects in the background of your photos, and the ability to find any image easily via search.<\/p>\n<p>RCS and Satellite Messaging<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Arguably one of the most anticipated announcements from Apple ended up as a tiny footnote amid the company&#8217;s announcements. RCS is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/guide-to-rcs-why-it-makes-texting-better\/\">Rich Communication Services<\/a>, the texting standard that followed SMS\/MMS. Android phones have supported RCS for several years, allowing for an upgraded texting experience that pulls features from instant messaging apps, like typing indicators, read receipts, and improved photo and video quality.
