New Delhi: Apple is gearing up for a big update with iOS 18.4, set to roll out in April this year, and it’s bringing some exciting changes. The biggest highlight? Apple Intelligence is getting smarter and more accessible with support for eight new languages, including French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. Plus, English is getting a local touch for users in India and Singapore, making Siri and other AI-powered features feel more natural.
For users in the European Union, this update is even more special, it’s the first time Apple Intelligence will be available on iPhones and iPads in the region. And if you’ve got an Apple Vision Pro, you’re in luck too, though for now, it’ll only support US English.
Apple has always been big on privacy, and they’re sticking to that promise. Most AI features will run directly on your device, but when extra processing power is needed, Apple’s Private Cloud Compute steps in, ensuring data stays secure.
The beta version of iOS 18.4 has already given us a sneak peek at some cool additions. There’s a new feature called Priority Notifications, which helps highlight the most important alerts. The Image Playground now includes a fresh “Sketch” style for those who love getting creative. Genmoji, the custom emoji tool, has also been improved with a bigger button and a helpful introduction for new users.
Other interesting updates include a new “Food” section on Apple News+ featuring recipes from top publishers, an improved CarPlay interface with an extra row of app icons, and support for Japan’s “My Number Card” Digital ID in Apple Wallet. Siri is also getting two new Australian voices, and users in some regions can now set default Translate or Navigation apps based on their preferences.
With all these updates, Apple is making the iPhone experience more personal, more convenient, and even more fun. Whether it’s better language support, smarter notifications, or privacy-focused AI, iOS 18.4 is shaping up to be a solid update for Apple users everywhere.
