Visual Intelligence was one of the big new features announced as part of the iPhone 16 series launch, but users up until now won't have been able to access it. But with the launch of iOS 18.2 developer beta, any users signed up to Apple Developer can try it out, which is exactly what I've been doing.
Apple touts Visual Intelligence as a way to give you a helping hand with whatever you want to know about immediately in front of you, via your phone's camera. With a press-and-hold of the Camera Control, you can quickly access Visual Intelligence even with your iPhone 16 locked and get some answers. It's basically the Apple take on Google Lens or Circle to Search, except with it being limited to the iPhone 16 series, it's more exclusive.
