Recently, Apple announced that the highly anticipated Apple Intelligence feature will not be available in iOS 18, which is set for release this autumn.
However, the company has released its first iOS 18.1 beta for all developers, which includes support for Apple Intelligence. You can test it right now on your iPhone or iPad.
Since you won’t get access to Apple Intelligence with the iOS 18 beta, you need to install the iOS 18.1 beta first and then join the Apple Intelligence beta waitlist.
