Apple’s rumored ChatGPT integration features might be closer than we thought, according to new iOS backend code circulating on X (formerly Twitter).
Aaron Perris, a MacRumors contributor, posted on X about iOS 18.2 code snippets referencing “Siri with ChatGPT” and “Visual Intelligence.”
The ChatGPT integration would reportedly be filling the gap until Siri gets its major “Apple Intelligence” overhaul in 2025. Currently, the feature allows users to use Siri to access ChatGPT’s servers to help do normal content generation tasks like shopping lists, recipes, or writing code.

Meanwhile, the “Visual Intelligence” feature is expected to be exclusive to the iPhone 16, leveraging the phone’s advanced cameras to let users search for anything they can see. Alongside the new Camera Control feature on the iPhone 16, you’ll essentially be able to snap a photo of anything you see and get instant AI-powered search results—think of it like Apple’s take on Google Lens.
According to the leaked code shared on X, this feature is expected to arrive with iOS 18.2, which isn’t far off, considering iOS 18.1 is set to drop on October 28. While this isn’t an official confirmation, it definitely hints that these upgrades could be just around the corner.
