Apple has rolled out its latest iOS 18.4 beta 2 update, introducing a new section in the Control Center dedicated to Apple Intelligence and Siri features. This advancement allows users to access Apple Intelligence and Siri controls without the need for apps or voice commands. Positioned within the Control Center, the features can be tailored to suit user preferences, enhancing the overall user experience on iPhones and iPads.
The update enables users to easily edit the Control Center layout to include Apple Intelligence and Siri features. By long pressing on a blank field within the Control Center, users can access the 'Add Control' option.
