iOS 18.2 Update: Introducing Image Playground - Create Fun, Playful Images on Your iPhone

iOS 18.2 is set to be released with new Apple Intelligence features, upgrades to the Find My app, and changes to the Photos app. A brand new app called Image Playground will appear on your Home Screen as part of this update. Image Playground allows you to create images based on text descriptions or from people in your Photos library using styles like animation and illustration. The service is designed to run entirely on-device without uploading any data to the cloud or external servers, providing privacy benefits by not exposing personal photos or information externally. The features are powered by new AI capabilities offered by Apple's Intelligence platform.
