Apple has announced new accessibility features powered by Apple Intelligence, coming later this year across its devices.
The update expands tools such as VoiceOver, Magnifier, Voice Control, and Accessibility Reader. Apple says these features will use AI to provide more detailed descriptions of images, natural language navigation, and improved reading support.
A key change is “Image Explorer” in VoiceOver, which can describe photos and on-screen content in more detail.
Magnifier will also be able to answer questions about objects seen through the camera. Voice Control is being updated so users can navigate apps using natural spoken instructions instead of fixed commands.
Apple is also adding automatic subtitles for videos that do not already include captions. The feature will work on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and Apple Vision Pro.
Other updates include improved accessibility for hearing aids, larger text options on Apple TV, and new tools for developers supporting sign language interpretation in FaceTime.
Apple said these updates will roll out later this year across its devices. However, no exact release dates yet.
