Apple has introduced a game-changer in the new iOS update that will make using your iPhone so much easier.
The tech giant regularly puts out updates for its handsets – although not all of them are compatible with every iPhone.
Some of them are, however, gamechanging when it comes to some of the simplest things.
As the iOS 18.1 update is released this week, Apple says you should download it to keep your phone up to date and security levels at the appropriate level.
Some people are being left disappointed, labelling one of the update’s unassuming consequences as ‘ridiculous’.
iOS 18.1 update and Apple Intelligence
For those updating their phones to iOS 18.1, there is one very handy trick that could make even the most mundane tasks pass by within seconds, taking up almost none of your time.
It’s a brand new feature powered by – you guessed it – the wonders of artificial intelligence (AI).
Part of the new Apple Intelligence system that was released on Monday (28 October), it is free for all users with supported devices.
Apple dubs the new system a ‘personal intelligence system that helps you communicate, work, and express yourself’.
“It combines generative models with your personal context to deliver intelligence that is most useful and relevant to you, while protecting your privacy,” it adds.

Game-changing Smart Reply feature in iOS 18.1 update
The Smart Reply system is set to save those value minutes that we’re clinging to every single day.
Using the Apple Intelligence system, the AI-powered feature will impact how we respond to people on Apple’s Mail and Messages apps.
Let’s just imagine for one second.
You’d got a message through from someone with a fair few questions and queries that need answering. The problem is you really are lacking the enthusiasm to reply, even when one is needed.
Well, Smart Reply will give you prompts in the form of quick answers.
The feature will draft quick replies to the email or message you have received and answer every query within it, while matching the tone of the conversation that is happening.
You can then instantly send the message if you’re happy or give it 30 seconds while you tinker.
Apple says: “Use a Smart Reply in Mail to quickly draft an email response with all the right details. Apple Intelligence can identify questions you were asked in an email and offer relevant selections to include in your response.
“With a few taps you’re ready to send a reply with key questions answered.”
Genius, really (Apple)
