Apple will enhance its Journal app with enhanced Apple Intelligence features, promising users a more intuitive and personalized journaling experience.
The tech company plans to add artificial intelligence (AI) features to the Journal app now that Apple Intelligence is available on iPhone. The application was originally supposed to be included in iOS 17, but was delayed to iOS 17.2.
Journaling allows users of the Journal app to record their ideas, feelings, and thoughts. Users of the app can also create personalized alarms to remind them to add new items. These are private and only visible to them.
Apple had previously announced that iOS 18 would bring some changes to the Journal app. However, the company has now announced that Apple Intelligence will also be integrated into the app.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted the patent, which describes several potential uses of AI for the journal app.
According to the patent, the AI built into the Journal app can notify users when it detects that something notable has happened. For example, it could prompt users to write a journal entry if it notices that they took multiple pictures at the same time in the same place.
Apple could update its Journal app with a new timeline structure that allows users to insert photos and music. The app could also use generative AI to suggest creative prompts. These are just concepts in a patent, so it’s not confirmed if these features will roll out soon.
