Here, we’ll show you everything you need to know to get the most out of Apple Intelligence on your Mac. While not every Apple Intelligence feature is available yet, we’ve covered everything that you can try today in this guide.
Before you get started, you’ll need to ensure that your Mac’s language is set to U.S. English (if it’s not already). To do so, open the System Settings app and go to General > Language & Region, then pick United States from the Region dropdown menu.
Similarly, you’ll need to sign up to the Apple Intelligence waitlist. Open the System Settings app and find Apple Intelligence & Siri in the sidebar. From here, pick Join the Apple Intelligence Waitlist. It usually doesn't take very long before you’re allowed in and Apple Intelligence is ready to go on your Mac.
Once that’s done, you’ll be able to start using Apple Intelligence to level up your macOS experience. Let’s dive right in.

How to use Apple Intelligence’s Writing Tools
Writing Tools are one of the most useful aspects of Apple Intelligence. With these tools, you can rewrite text, proofread it, create summaries, tables and lists, and much more.
Step 1: To proofread a block of text, highlight and right-click it, then pick Writing Tools > Proofread from the menu. Apple Intelligence will automatically correct any mistakes and underline them — select an underlined word or phrase to see how it has been changed and Apple Intelligence’s reasoning. You can also use the < and > buttons to move through each correction. To undo a change, select the Keep Original button (it looks like an arrow pointing left). The Show Original button (to the right of the Revert button) lets you flip between the original and rectified versions of the text; the Revert button undoes all corrections.
Step 2: Apple Intelligence can rewrite your text in various ways. Just highlight some text, right-click it, and choose Writing Tools, then pick either Make Friendly, Make Professional or Make Concise. This will load up a box containing your rewritten text, which you can then copy to use elsewhere. If you try this in a word-processing app like Pages or TextEdit, you’ll see a Rewrite button to the left of the Done button — select it to have Apple Intelligence try again in the same tone of voice that you previously chose (note that you don’t get this option if you try it in a non-word processor like Safari).
Apple
Step 3: Apple Intelligence has a lot of tools for summarizing your text. Highlight it, right-click, and choose Writing Tools, then pick either Summarize, Create Key Points, Make List or Make Table. Each one summarizes the text in a different way, so try them all to see which is most useful in your situation. If you’re using an app where text is editable (such as Pages), you’ll see a Replace option that will swap out the original text for Apple Intelligence’s summarized version.
Step 4: In all these instructions, we’ve said to pick an option directly from the Writing Tools right-click menu. Alternatively, you can right-click and select Writing Tools > Show Writing Tools. This brings up a pop-up box containing the same Writing Tools options as you’d expect. It’s a different way to get the same outcome.
Step 5: If you’d rather restrict access to Writing Tools, open the System Settings app and pick Screen Time in the sidebar, then go to Content & Privacy and enable the toggle next to Content & Privacy. Select Intelligence & Siri, then disable the toggle next to Writing Tools.

How to use Apple Intelligence in Mail
Mail has various Apple Intelligence tools to help you manage your emails more effectively. Here’s how to use them.
Step 1: To view your most important messages, open Mail, select an inbox, then choose View in the menu bar. From here, select Show Priority.
Step 2: Mail shows short summaries under each email in your inbox. You can manually summarize your mail by selecting an email, then choosing Summarize at the top of the message. Note that sometimes you need to scroll to the top of the email to see this option. When it’s done, you’ll see the summary above the message.
Step 3: If you don’t want Mail to automatically show summaries under each email, you can turn this feature off by opening Mail and going to Mail > Settings in the menu bar, then selecting the Viewing tab. From here, disable the checkbox next to Summarize Message Previews.
Step 4: Apple Intelligence can also help when it’s time to reply to your emails. Open a message and pick the Reply button, then click into the main message box. You’ll see a pop up with a couple of suggested themes for your reply (such as “Not interested” or “Reschedule”). Select one of these and Apple Intelligence will draft a complete reply for you.
Step 5: You can refine your emails (whether they’re AI-generated or not) by highlighting the text, right-clicking it, and selecting Writing Tools, then choosing an option like Make Friendly, Make Professional, or Make Concise. There’s also a Rewrite option in this menu, alongside one to proofread your message.

How to edit photos and videos with Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence can be used to remove distracting elements from your photos and look up information about your images’ and videos’ content.
Step 1: Open an image in the Photos app, then choose Edit > Clean Up. Drag the Size slider to adjust your brush size, then either click, brush over, or circle an object you want Apple Intelligence to remove from your picture. When you’re finished, select Done. Note that after clicking Clean Up, Photos might automatically highlight some elements so that you can select to remove them.
Step 2: Apple Intelligence understands natural language requests in the Photos app. Select the search bar in Photos, then type in a natural language query. For example, “Sadie cartwheeling on the grass.” Photos uses name tags you’ve applied to your images (such as tagging people or pets) to understand what you’re looking for. Once you have your results, you can filter them, select images, view them, and more.

How to infuse Siri with Apple Intelligence
Siri has received a much needed and long-awaited boost in the form of Apple Intelligence. Combined with ChatGPT, it makes the virtual assistant more helpful than ever.
Step 1: You can type to Siri, which is ideal if you don’t want to disturb others by speaking to Siri (like if you’re in a library). Just launch Siri, select inside its text box, and start typing. Also new in macOS Sequoia is a quick way to launch Siri: double-tap the Command key on your keyboard.
Step 2: Siri can answer all sorts of questions, whether that’s the latest scores for your favorite sports team or finding recipes using the ingredients you already have at home. Try typing or speaking your request to Siri.
Apple
Step 4: Another new way that Siri utilizes Apple Intelligence is through contextual awareness. Try asking Siri a question about how your favorite sports team is doing this season. When you get your answer, type the phrase “When are they playing next?”, then type “Add that to my calendar.” Siri understands that you’re talking about your team and its next fixture without needing to be reminded. This works with a wide range of requests.
Step 5: You can also ask Siri for help with your Mac (or other Apple products). You can use prompts like “How do I import photos on Mac?” or “Tell me how to connect my AirPods to my iPhone,” and it will understand.
Step 6: To disable Siri’s ChatGPT integration, open the System Settings app and go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy, enable the toggle next to Content & Privacy, then select Intelligence & Siri. Here, disable ChatGPT Integration.

How to summarize webpages with Apple Intelligence
Found a webpage that’s just a wall of text? Apple Intelligence can help make it more manageable and comprehensible.
Step 1: Open Safari, choose the Reader button in the URL bar, then select Show Reader. Pick Summarize at the top of the page to have Apple Intelligence sum up the content for you.
Step 2: Alternatively, select a body of text on the webpage, then right-click it and go to Writing Tools > Show Writing Tools. You can now pick either Summarize, Create Key Points, Make List, or Make Table to get an abridged version of the webpage’s text.
Step 3: To return to the normal webpage view, select the Reader button in the URL bar, then pick Hide Reader.

How to summarize audio with Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence will automatically transcribe audio recordings — and generate summaries of those transcriptions — if you want it to, which could save you a considerable amount of time and effort.
Step 1: Open the Notes app, create a new note, then select the Record Audio button in the app’s top toolbar. Alternatively, open a note that already contains an audio recording.
Step 2: Double-click the recording so that the recording controls appear on the right-hand side. To the left of the red Record button, select the Transcript button (it looks like a set of quotation marks inside a speech bubble). This will transcribe your recording for you.
Step 3: Select the … button above your transcript, then choose either Add Transcript to Note to insert the text into your note or Copy Transcript to use it elsewhere.
Step 4: At the top of the right-hand sidebar containing the recording controls, choose Summary to have Apple Intelligence summarize your transcription.
Step 5: In the summary box, choose …, then Copy Summary or Share Summary to send the summary somewhere else.

How to use Apple Intelligence to summarize notifications and reduce interruptions
Tired of being overwhelmed with notifications? Apple Intelligence can summarize them so you don’t need to read them all, or reduce distracting notifications to keep you focused.
Step 1: To get started, open the System Settings app and go to Notifications in the sidebar. Under Notification Center, pick Summarize notifications, then make sure the toggle next to Summarize Notifications is enabled. You can enable or disable notification summaries on a per-app basis in the list underneath the Summarize Notification Previews From header.
Step 2: If you want to cut out distracting notifications but still get alerted to important ones, use the Reduce Interruptions Focus mode. In System Settings, find Focus in the sidebar, then select Reduce Interruptions. You can now decide which apps and people to allow through, set a schedule, and change how apps and your device act when the Reduce Interruptions Focus is active.
Step 3: Finally, there’s a toggle in this menu titled Intelligent Breakthrough and Silencing. This is the key component of the Reduce Interruptions Focus — it’s what lets important notifications through and blocks others — so it’s on by default. You can enable it on other Focus modes too, if you like.
Apple Intelligence brings a wide range of new features to your Mac, from notification summaries to writing tools and improvements to Siri. Despite that, some features aren’t yet available and are not expected to arrive until early 2025 — that includes Genmoji, the Image Playground, plus better contextual awareness for Siri. We’ll update this guide as soon as those features touch down so that you know how to use them in your daily life.

It’s that time of year when Apple announces the dates for its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) and sends the tech world into a frenzy of speculation over what goodies it has lined up for its expectant fans. With the week-long event kicking off on June 9, there’s not long to go now.
Usually, the announcement of WWDC triggers a wave of excitement for Apple’s upcoming operating systems, such as iOS 19 and macOS 16, and perhaps some hot new hardware that Apple has been keeping under wraps.
And normally, I’d be looking ahead to what I’d like to see in macOS 16 (and trust me, I’m still thinking about that). But I haven’t been doing that nearly as much as I usually do over the past few weeks.
The reason is simple. This year, there’s only one thing that Apple absolutely needs to focus on at WWDC 2025: Apple Intelligence. The company’s artificial intelligence (AI) system needs to be front and center on June 9, and there are plenty of reasons why.
Apple’s AI struggles
It’s been a rough year since Apple Intelligence was unveiled at WWDC 2025. Right now, the AI platform has fairly basic capabilities, like rewriting text or creating simple images, and these powers have been available from rivals for years. It’s lacking more advanced features, which now seem to be facing lengthy delays. And it’s also faced a slew of bad press for its notoriously faulty notification summaries. That’s enough to make any tech company shudder.
As Apple commentator John Gruber has pointed out, much of the Apple Intelligence features showcased at WWDC 2025 were essentially an extended tech demo, although we didn’t realise it at the time. A fistful of the most exciting tools and upgrades announced simply weren’t even close to being ready, and they still aren’t ready now.
That’s left Apple Intelligence feeling like a pretty empty shell right now. Sure, it works, and there are lots of ways you can put it to use. But the most interesting and compelling features are nowhere to be seen.
In the tech world — where developments move at the speed of light — this has the potential to be a disaster. Apple’s rivals aren’t standing still, after all. Everything from ChatGPT to Google Gemini to Microsoft Copilot are rapidly advancing and putting Apple to shame. Every day that Apple Intelligence features are delayed just further widens the gap.
Apple’s most important show in years
That means that WWDC 2025 could be the most important Apple event in recent memory. There’s a weight of expectation on the company that I haven’t seen it face before, with enormous pressure on it to deliver and silence the naysayers.
There are signs that Apple is treating this year’s WWDC as an event of vital importance. Look at its product lineup and you’ll see that it has cleared the decks in recent months.
With almost every iPhone, iPad, and Mac being updated within the last twelve months, most Apple devices are now running on the latest architecture. Crucially, that means that Apple doesn’t need to unveil them at WWDC, freeing up valuable time to make the case for Apple Intelligence. Given how much catching up it needs to do, Apple will want all the time it can get.
But there’s something else we’ve got to consider here: not only does Apple have to catch up with its competitors, but it has to actually surpass them. Such is the negative press surrounding Apple Intelligence that catching up is no longer good enough.
Consider Apple’s resources for a moment here. It’s one of the most profitable companies in history and has enormous funds at its disposal. It also has the unique advantage of controlling both its hardware and software, which should give its AI a massive edge, allowing it to tap into the inner workings of its products in ways that no other AI can.
That means expectations are high. People want to be wowed and they want to know that Apple can be the best, not just “good enough.” WWDC is the time to do that, given that its main audience consists of the developers and enthusiasts who will be most keen to take advantage of Apple Intelligence.
The bad news is that it seems likely that some of the very same features that would demonstrate Apple’s edge have apparently been punted into the long grass. According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, the most advanced Siri features might not arrive until 2026 or even 2027, placing them well after this year’s WWDC. That means Apple has to somehow impress the world in other ways.
What I want to see
I’ve been thinking about the ways that Apple needs to tune up Apple Intelligence, and the problem is that most of the key improvements have already been reported to be delayed, at least according to leaks and rumors. That limits Apple’s options, barring some well-kept secret that could blow us all away.
Regardless, there are still a few new features that Apple could add that would at least make Apple Intelligence more competitive with its rivals. They shouldn’t be too advanced for Apple to unveil in a few weeks’ time, either.
For one thing, I feel that Apple needs to offer more robust image generation tools. Right now, the Image Playground is living up to its name: it’s a fun little toy, but not much more than that. It’s very basic and can’t hope to compete with more advanced tools like Midjourney or Stable Diffusion. Even just giving users more options – such as image styles or sizes – would be a good start.
I’d also like to see Apple Intelligence deployed to create more custom content. Think about Apple Music playlists, for instance: using AI to craft a custom playlist on the spot to suit whatever it is you’re doing would be one way to level up Apple’s AI. Apple Music can currently use machine learning to craft playlists made for you, but you can’t bring up Siri and tell it exactly what you want, then have Apple Music get to work.
Some of these ideas would tap into Apple’s own services in a way that rivals can’t. And really, that’s exactly the sort of thing Apple should be pushing in Apple Intelligence. The company needs to give people a reason to use its own AI rather than one of the many alternatives, and perhaps this is one way to do it.
There are other things I want to see, like an Apple-made large language model (LLM) that can compete with ChatGPT, but features like that are much further out. There’s no way they’ll be announced at this year’s WWDC.
Whatever Apple unveils at WWDC 2025, it needs to be something special if it wants to change the narrative and establish Apple Intelligence as a class-leading AI platform. With just two months to go, there’s not long until we discover Apple’s plan of action.
