After a successful launch in the United States last October, you're probably looking forward to taking advantage of Apple Intelligence features, like Image Playground or advanced writing tools.
As a reminder, the fact that Apple Intelligence is not available in France is due to new regulations on digital markets in the European Union. The European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) imposes strict constraints on tech giants, which complicates the deployment of new AI-based features. But then, why this title?
In Europe yes, but not in France
iOS 18.2 has indeed just beendeployed in the UK with Apple Intelligence capabilities.UK users can now enjoy Writing Assistant, image generation with Image Playground, and ChatGPT integration. This update also comes with improvements to the Find My app and Visual Intelligence.
Support for local variants of English (Australia, Canada and New Zealand) is also included. Apple thus intends to meet the specific needs of English-speaking users around the world.
Mixed start for Genmoji
Thecustom emoji creation featureso-called “Genmoji” is one of the new features of iOS 18.2. If Apple's promotional video promises spectacular creations, the first feedback from users is more nuanced. Tests showsignificant limitationsin the generation of the requested emojis.
This situation recalls the beginnings of the 3D avatars of the Vision Pro, which weresignificantly improved with visionOS 1.2. You can therefore hope for a similar development for Genmoji in the coming months.
Concerning the deployment date of Apple Intelligence in France, it should be the same as for other countries of the European Union.
According to the latest information, we will have to wait until April 2025 for us to be entitled to Apple Intelligence in France. A blessing in disguise when you read therather mixed reviewsof thedebut of Apple's suite of AI tools.
