Obviously, the main claim of iOS 18.2 is the advance from Apple Intelligence as we have been saying in iPhone News for several weeks now. This new update will bring all these Big Apple AI features to more countries and release the Integration of ChatGPT into the iOS and iPadOS ecosystem,

in addition to the arrival of great features like Genmoji or Image Playground.

However, iOS 18.2 also has other new features many of them are visual. One of them is that Apple has incorporated a new animation in the form of Live Activity,

This way we can see from anywhere on iOS and iPadOS how the download is progressing without having to enter the “Downloads” tab of the application itself. Also for users of an iPhone 14 Pro and later with the Dynamic island, you can also enjoy an animation with the progress of downloads, one more addition to the design of iOS and iPadOS 18.2 that we will be able to enjoy in December.
