iOS 18.4 Update In India: Apple Brings New AI Features; List Of Eligible iPhones And How To Download
Apple iOS 18.4 Update is here for millions of iPhone users but those of you in India can finally try out the AI features in their local language.
Apple iOS 18.4 Update: Apple has surprisingly announced the iOS 18.4 update before its original April release timeline. The update comes just a few days after the iOS 18.4 release candidate version was offered, and now we have the public version available to billions of iPhone users.
The new iOS 18.4 version does not add much in terms of AI for the iPhone users but if you are in countries like India, the Apple AI will make a lot more sense and localise to your language and preferences. The Apple Intelligence era has been slow but at least the company has managed to deliver on its promise of the AI features to Indian users in April 2025.

iOS 18.4 Update For India: What iPhone Users Get
Apple AI In Indian English/Hindi
Apple has allowed people in countries like India to use the AI features by setting the default language as US English but that finally changes to local settings with the iOS 18.4 version. Yes, you can choose the Indian English option from the drop down menu for Apple AI.
However, you can speak to the new conversational Siri in more languages like Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Bangla, Malayalam and Kannada among others, mixed with English. These will be useful to make a call, find places in Apple Maps and even play your favourite tracks.
Priority Notifications Also There
Apple is using AI to offer alerts that will be important for the users. It will be processing the content on-device which keeps the data private. The company assures the feature is disabled by default and you can go to Settings – Notifications to try out the new AI-powered feature on select iPhone models.
Sketches In Image Playground
Apple’s AI image tool is now getting the Sketch option along with the existing animation and illustration types. You can choose between either of these styles and use the prompt to create the AI-powered image using the Image Playground app on the iPhone.
Rewrite Or Summarise Text
Writing tools will use Apple AI to help you rewrite or summarise text in Mail, Messages, and Notes along with some third-party apps. These work across iPhone, Macs and even iPad.
Photos Get Smarter
Apple uses AI to let you clean up images in the Photos app and a smarter way to search for images using simple descriptions. Using clean up, you can select a part/subject in a photo to remove them from the image. These features will work for videos as well which doubles up as a tool to create memories using both photos and videos.
