Siri has traditionally used sources like Google and Wikipedia for answers, but with the release of iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2, Apple has enhanced its virtual assistant by integrating ChatGPT. This upgrade allows users to leverage ChatGPT for generating text and images through Siri, expanding its capabilities beyond basic information retrieval.

Moreover, ChatGPT is seamlessly integrated into Apple Intelligence's Writing Tools, introduced in iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, enabling text and image creation within text fields. Additionally, on iPhone models with the Camera Control button, the new Visual Intelligence tool uses ChatGPT to provide insights from photos you take.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of setting up and utilizing ChatGPT with Siri, Writing Tools, and Visual Intelligence, unlocking enhanced information and creativity on your iPhone or iPad.

Setting Up ChatGPT Integration with Siri

ChatGPT is an opt-in feature on iPhone and iPad, requiring you to enable the integration. You might be prompted to activate ChatGPT when using Siri, Writing Tools, or Visual Intelligence, but you can also manually set it up.

Set Up the ChatGPT Extension

Go to Settings ? Apple Intelligence & Siri ? ChatGPT (in the Extensions section), then tap "Set Up" for "Use ChatGPT."

Agree to Using ChatGPT

Tap "Next" on the ChatGPT onboarding screen to understand how ChatGPT integrates with Siri, Visual Intelligence, and Writing Tools.

• Additional requests will use basic capabilities (GPT-4o mini) for up to 24 hours.
• Limited access to data analysis, file uploads, vision, web browsing, and image generation.

If you sign into a free ChatGPT account:

• ChatGPT will save your request history to enhance and improve responses.

If you choose to log in, tap "Sign In and Enable ChatGPT" on the next screen or "Enable ChatGPT without an Account" if you change your mind.

You can add a ChatGPT account later via the "Sign In" link in the ChatGPT Extension settings. To log out, tap "Sign Out" in the ChatGPT Extension settings. You can also "Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus" in the settings, which costs $19.99 monthly.

1. Using ChatGPT with Siri

With ChatGPT integration enabled, Siri can generate text, answer complex questions, and create images (distinct from Apple's Image Playground, which uses Apple Intelligence).

By default, Siri will ask for permission to use ChatGPT for your requests. To bypass this prompt, go to Settings ? Apple Intelligence & Siri ? ChatGPT and turn off the "Confirm ChatGPT Requests" switch. Siri will then automatically use ChatGPT for your requests, except when sending files, which will always require your approval.

Once you approve or disable confirmation prompts, your request will be processed by ChatGPT and displayed in the Siri interface.

Generating Text

We asked Siri to generate costume ideas, prompting it to consult ChatGPT. After a brief wait, a list of costume ideas was produced. You can copy the generated text to your clipboard by tapping the copy button. If the response is inaccurate, you can touch and hold the result and tap "Report a Problem" to improve future responses.

This initial integration significantly enhances Siri's functionality. However, it's crucial to verify the accuracy of generated information, as AI models can sometimes provide incorrect responses.

Generating Images

We asked Siri to create images of a cat playing a guitar, a cat riding a horse, and a foldable iPhone. After a short wait, detailed, colorful illustrations were produced. Note that ChatGPT's images are illustrated, not photorealistic, and will not include celebrities, politicians, or named individuals to prevent misuse.

To save an image, tap the download button to add it to the Photos app. If the image is not satisfactory, you can touch and hold it and tap "Report a Problem" to improve future results.

2. Using ChatGPT with Writing Tools

ChatGPT is also integrated into Apple Intelligence's Writing Tools, introduced in iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1. In a text field, Writing Tools now features a "Describe your change" option for Apple Intelligence, and a "Compose" button for ChatGPT.

Generating Text

Using the "Compose" button, you can provide ChatGPT with a prompt to generate original text.

Tap the "Compose with ChatGPT" field and enter your query. You can include images or files if needed. ChatGPT can either add to the existing text or interpret the context and make requested changes.

Upon receiving your results, you'll see a "Rewrite" option and suggested adjustments from ChatGPT, which you can apply immediately. There's also a "Refine with ChatGPT" field for manual adjustments.

In subsequent requests, you'll receive more suggestions from ChatGPT, and a back-and-forth button will appear for toggling between different edits.

Generating Images

You can also use ChatGPT to create images within Writing Tools, similar to text generation or when asking Siri for images.

3. Using ChatGPT with Visual Intelligence

With ChatGPT integration, Visual Intelligence is available on iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max models with the Camera Control button. This feature allows you to learn more about objects, places, and anything you photograph.

To use it, press and hold the Camera Control button. If it's your first time, tap "Continue" on the splash screen, which states that images are not stored on your iPhone or shared with Apple. In the Visual Intelligence interface, you can:

• Tap the Ask button to capture the scene and get information from ChatGPT.
• Tap the Search button to capture the scene and get results from Google Search.
• Tap the shutter button to capture the scene and access options for Ask, Search, and More (???).

Searching Google

When using Search for the first time, tap "Continue" on the splash screen, which explains that your iPhone will send the image to Google's image search tool. Results will include matching pictures, which you can tap to open in a web view, or view more results from Google, and report any concerns.

Asking ChatGPT

When using Ask for the first time, tap "Continue" on the splash screen, which explains that your iPhone will send the image to ChatGPT. You can copy ChatGPT's response to your clipboard by tapping the copy button or by touching and holding the response and selecting "Copy."

If the ChatGPT app is installed, you can tap "ChatGPT" to open the captured image and result in the app. If signed into the ChatGPT app, chats opened from Siri will be saved to your account.

You can continue the conversation with follow-up questions for more information. In my example, I inquired about the artist behind a painting.

Note that errors can occur, as in my example where the artist and title were incorrectly identified. You can provide feedback to improve generative models by touching and holding the answer and selecting "Report a Concern." A button for reporting concerns is also located near the bottom of the interface.
