Apple Intelligence features available in India

• Clean Up in Photos: A new Clean Up tool allows users to remove unwanted objects or people from photos while maintaining the authenticity of the image.
• Smart Search in Photos: Users can search for specific moments in photos and videos using natural language descriptions, such as “Maya dancing in a red dress.”
• Memories in Photos: Apple Intelligence helps users create memory movies by selecting and arranging photos and videos based on a text description, adding a storyline with thematic chapters.
