why cant i get image playground even though its updated to 18.2

Hi there!

It seems like you are using an iPhone 14 Plus! Sadly, this phone model isn’t supported for any Apple Intelligence feature including the Genmoji feature.

If you want to use it, if unnecessary you could buy a new phone but I would not recommend that since there are third party softwares for those features even though they are not built in.

But if you really really want to use it without getting a new device, use third party tweaks like Nugget or Misaka X. But the risks are big.

Thanks

Thanks

If you check the link that Kurtosis12 posted, this information is found at the bottom. As you can see there, the iPhone 14 Plus you have is not supported.

If you own an iPhone 14 Plus, it doesn't make any difference if people in your family have it. iPhone 14 Plus is NOT capable of running Apple Intelligence at all. ANY family you have who does have Apple Intelligence either owns an iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max or any iPhone 16 model.

It may not be available yet in your part of the world.

Apple Intelligence now features Image Playground, Genmoji, and more - Apple

What device do you have? The software requires iPhone 15 Pro models or any iPhone 16 model.
