This hidden Apple feature turns your iPhone or iPad into an AI image generator

Apple Image Playground on an iPhone

A variety of generative AI programs and websites are able to craft images based on your input. But if you have access to Apple Intelligence through an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, one cool tool you can use is the Image Playground.

Available with iOS/iPadOS 18.2 and macOS 15.2, the Image Playground will create animated images or illustrations based on specific concepts, your own descriptions, and photos from your library.

The tool is accessible as a standalone program, but you can also use it with built-in apps like Messages as well as supported third-party apps. If you're happy with the final images, you can save them or share them with other people.

To use any of the Apple Intelligence AI features, including Image Playground, you must have the right type of device. That means any iPhone 16 model, an iPhone 15 Pro, an iPhone 15 Pro Max, any iPad model with an M1 chip or later, a 2024 iPad mini with an A17 Pro chip, or a Mac with an M1 chip or later.
