iOS 18.4 beta 2 has just been released, and it’s brought a new section of Control Center controls focused on Apple Intelligence & Siri. Here are the details.
iOS 18.4 beta brings Visual Intelligence and Talk to Siri controls
Today in iOS 18.4 beta 2, Apple has added a new section to the Control Center catalog of available controls.
The new section is dubbed Apple Intelligence & Siri, and includes the following:
- Talk to Siri
- Type to Siri
- Visual Intelligence
The only one of these controls previously available was Type to Siri.
Visual Intelligence is especially noteworthy because it means iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16e users can now access the previously iPhone 16-exclusive feature.
You can not only use the Visual Intelligence control from Control Center, but also the Lock Screen or via the Action button.
Talk to Siri offers the same basic functionality as holding down the iPhone’s side button. It triggers Siri in voice mode.
Having more flexibility to interact with Siri and engage Visual Intelligence however you prefer is a nice change. It will be interesting, too, to watch whether Apple adds more new controls to this AI & Siri section soon.
