The "Reduce Interruptions" mode is useful for minimizing distractions while waiting for important messages or app notifications, such as when working [(00:03:40)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=220s). - This Focus mode helps prioritize notifications that need attention and filters out everything else [(00:03:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=215s). - The "Reduce Interruptions" mode is a part of the powered Focus mode [(00:03:12)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=192s). ## Siri 2.0 [(00:03:56)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=236s) - [[Siri]] has been updated with natural language capabilities, allowing users to communicate with it in a more human-like way, resulting in more useful responses [(00:03:57)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=237s). - Previously, Siri would often respond to requests by saying "here's what I found on the web" without providing a direct answer, but now it can provide the actual answer, such as converting metrics [(00:04:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=249s). - For example, asking Siri to convert 100 km per hour to miles per hour now yields a direct answer from Siri, rather than just searching the web [(00:04:17)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=257s). - Siri can now reliably execute requests on its own, such as playing songs on Spotify, without needing to open the app or search the web [(00:04:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=273s). - This update has led to increased usage of Siri, and it is expected to improve further with the upcoming integration of chat GPT 40 [(00:04:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=292s). - Natural language search also allows users to find specific photos by describing them to Siri [(00:05:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=307s). ## Natural Language Search [(00:05:10)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=310s) -

When searching for a photo, users can describe the scene, such as "Jeff next to the white car on the highway", and the correct photo is immediately picked out [(00:05:22)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=322s). - [[Apple Intelligence]] is effective in bringing up the right photo, with an accuracy rate of around 9 out of 10 times [(00:05:41)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=341s). - The feature also allows users to search for specific items or frames in videos, but this functionality is still a bit hit and miss and needs improvement [(00:05:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=344s). - Searching through video frames is not as reliable as searching for photos, indicating that this feature still requires development [(00:05:49)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=349s). ## Picture Cleanup [(00:05:56)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=356s) -

The cleanup feature works on any photos in the library, regardless of whether they were taken on the [[IPhone | iPhone]] or not [(00:06:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=390s). - The feature is part of a broader set of tools that also includes writing tools [(00:06:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=395s). ## Writing Tools [(00:06:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=398s) -

The writing tools allow users to proofread their text, quickly rewrite it to be more friendly or professional, and even change the tone to sound more professional [(00:06:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=411s). - The feature is well-integrated, works quickly, and offers local options to fix text across any app being used [(00:07:05)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=425s). - The writing tools can also be used when reading an article, allowing users to highlight a chunk of text, click on writing tools, and summarize it by key points [(00:07:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=435s). - The summarize feature works quickly and allows users to share the summary with friends [(00:07:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=448s). - To summarize an entire article, users can go back to the top, tap "Show Reader", and then click on the "Summarize" button, which will summarize the article within seconds [(00:07:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=456s). ## Smart Mail [(00:07:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=470s) - The Smart Tools feature in the mail app includes a summarized feature that can summarize long emails into a single paragraph with one tap [(00:07:56)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=476s). -

These features, although not game-changing, are useful in saving time and are great to have implemented natively into the [[IOS | iOS]] ecosystem [(00:08:39)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=519s). ## Memory Movies [(00:08:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=530s) - A feature allows users to create a highlight reel using natural language, enabling them to generate a movie with just a few clicks [(00:08:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=530s). - To create a movie, users can type in a phrase, such as "food trips in 2024," and the system will automatically match photos with a song [(00:08:54)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=534s). - The created movie can be customized by tapping the three dots at the top, allowing users to add certain photos or adjust the movie's length [(00:09:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=548s). -

Installing [[Apple Intelligence]] on an [[IPhone | iPhone]] uses personal data to help improve the feature, which may be a concern for users worried about privacy [(00:09:27)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=567s). - Users can access and download their data by going into Settings, then scrolling down to Privacy and Security, and selecting [[Apple Inc. | Apple]] Intelligence Report [(00:09:40)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tXw74fyxc&t=580s). -
