Apple’s rolling out iOS 18.2 as soon as this week, and it’s packed with fresh features to shake up your iPhone experience.
Think new Apple Intelligence tools, a better Find My app, and some slick updates to Photos. But the star of the show is a brand-new app called Image Playground that’ll land right on your Home Screen.
Image Playground is perfect for when you absolutely need to see your dog as a pirate but don’t want to learn Photoshop.
 Also try:
It’s an app that lets you create playful, custom images using text prompts, photos from your library, or even both.
It happens entirely on your device—no cloud processing, no waiting, and no worrying about your data floating out there.
Open the app, and you’ll have options to start with a photo from your library or jump straight into creating from scratch.
Want a quirky portrait of yourself in a medieval knight’s costume? Done. Curious how your dog would look on a tropical beach? You got it.
You type in a description, choose from curated suggestions like themes, costumes, or settings, and let Image Playground handle the rest.
You can swipe through multiple previews to pick your favorite version, and while the results won’t be photorealistic, they’re designed to be vibrant and visually striking.
The app gives you two main styles to play with: Animation and Illustration. Each offers a unique vibe, making it easy to create something that feels fresh and personal.
