Apple has introduced Apple Intelligence, a smart feature that makes your iPhone even more powerful. Especially in the Messages app, you can communicate more efficiently with features like message summaries and the "Smart Reply" function. Here's how you can use Apple Intelligence in the Messages app to interact faster and easier.
Communication is a central part of our everyday lives. We often spend a lot of time scrolling through messages or formulating replies. With Apple Intelligence, Apple is making this process more streamlined and effective. The goal: to save you time and improve clarity without missing important details. Whether you want to quickly skim through messages or send a suitable reply straight away - this technology will help you do it.
View news summaries
When you open the Messages app, you can see what a conversation is about without having to open it. A summary of unread messages appears under each conversation in your Messages list. This feature is handy for seeing at a glance if there is anything important that needs your attention, so you can better organize and prioritize. To see message summaries:
- Open the Messages app on your iPhone.
- Look at the conversation list. Under each chat you will find compact summaries of the unread messages.
Use Smart Reply
The smart reply feature helps you respond to messages faster. Apple Intelligence automatically suggests appropriate replies that you can accept with a tap. If you want, you can further customize these suggestions before sending them. Here's how it works:
- Open the Messages app and select a conversation.
- Tap the text field and suggestions will appear directly on the keyboard.
- Select one of the suggested answers and Apple Intelligence will insert it into the text field.
- If necessary, adjust the answer using the “writing tools”.
- When you're done, tap the Send button.
This feature is ideal if you are in a hurry or do not have much time to formulate a response.
Enable or disable news summaries
The Message Summaries feature is enabled by default when Apple Intelligence is active. However, if you prefer to see the last message in a conversation, you can turn this feature off. Here's how:
- Open the Settings on your iPhone.
- Go to “Apps” and select “Messages”.
- Enable or disable the “Summarize messages” option depending on your preferences.
You can adjust this setting at any time depending on how you want to organize your messages.
Create original images with “Image Playground”
Another exciting feature of Apple Intelligence is the "Image Playground", which is available from iOS 18.2 - in the EU from iOS 18.4 and Co.! With this function, you can create and share your own images directly in the Messages app. This brings a creative touch to your conversations and gives you the opportunity to customize content. Here's how to use "Image Playground":
- Open a conversation in the Messages app.
- Select the “Image Playground” option.
- Create unique images and send them to your contacts.
This feature is especially helpful if you want to make your messages more visually appealing.
