Apple Intelligence Expands To Eight New Languages In April With iOS 18.4

During the launch of the iPhone 16e, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that Apple Intelligence will expand its language support in April, likely with the iOS 18.4 update. The new languages include French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. Additionally, localized English support will be introduced for users in India and Singapore.

Currently, Apple Intelligence is only available in English-speaking regions, including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa. This expansion will significantly increase accessibility, allowing more users worldwide to take advantage of Apple’s AI-powered features.

During Apple’s Q4 2024 earnings call, Cook emphasized the growing importance of Apple Intelligence, stating that once users start using these features, they become an integral part of daily life. He particularly highlighted the email summarization tool, which he personally relies on to manage hundreds of emails per day.

Apple introduced Apple Intelligence features with iOS 18.1, but the lack of multilingual support has limited adoption outside of English-speaking countries. With the upcoming update, Apple aims to broaden its global reach and enhance the usability of its AI-powered tools for a more diverse user base.

Apple Intelligence includes AI-driven tools that assist with tasks such as text generation, content summarization, and smart automation. These capabilities are designed to improve productivity, helping users manage emails, notifications, and other digital interactions more efficiently.

Expanding language support aligns with Apple’s long-term strategy to enhance the global usability of its devices. As AI becomes a key part of the Apple ecosystem, adding more language options ensures greater adoption and improved user experience across different regions. The update will roll out in April 2025, making Apple Intelligence more accessible to millions of new users.
