Cupertino-based tech giant Apple announced Apple Intelligence, Apple's AI features suite, at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024. Currently, the features are undergoing testing via the developer beta program. While earlier limited to the United States, the features are now expanding to India with the iOS 18.1 developer beta update, according to Smartprix.
As per the report, Apple Intelligence can be accessed in India via the iOS 18.1 developer beta 3 update. These features can be tested on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. While the features are only available for the iPhone 15 Pro models right now, the iPhone 16 series will likely support these features too. Plus, you must be enrolled in the Apple Developer program to try out the features right now.
However, before installing the developer beta, you must note that the testing build might be unstable and buggy, which might hamper the experience. Hence, it is recommended that you install the beta on a secondary device and backup all the data before proceeding.
