On iPad, with Apple Intelligence, you can communicate and share information with ease—strike the right tone and proofread your writing with Write with Siri, provide relevant info during calls, communicate across languages in real time, and more. Live Translation can translate messages, show live translated captions in FaceTime, and give spoken translations for calls.
Note: Apple Intelligence on iPadOS 27 or later is available on an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPad mini (A17 Pro) and iPad models with M1 or later. Apple Intelligence is not available in all languages or regions. Usage limits may apply.*
Find the perfect words
Siri AI can generate a draft from scratch, summarize information, and provide feedback on what you’ve written—just describe what you want. For example, ask Siri to proofread an email or to write an itinerary for an upcoming trip.
Siri AI is available in beta on iPadOS 27 or later on an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPad mini (A17 Pro) or iPad model with M1 or later set to a supported language. Available in English to start. Siri AI will not initially be available in the EU on iPadOS. Usage limits may apply.
