Apple iOS 18.2 introduces new features but requires waitlist for Apple Intelligence access
cnet.com —
Apple has released iOS 18.2, introducing new features like custom emojis and Visual Intelligence. However, users must request access to these Apple Intelligence features and join a waitlist to use them. Only certain iPhone models support Apple Intelligence due to the need for powerful processors. The waitlist helps manage server demand as more users adopt the new features. To join the waitlist, users should go to Settings, select Apple Intelligence & Siri, and tap "Join Waitlist." Access times vary, with some users gaining access quickly while others may wait longer.
