Use Image Wand with Apple Intelligence on iPhone

With Apple Intelligence,* you can use Image Wand in the Notes app to create images based on rough sketches you create. You can also select empty space to create an image based on words and images from the surrounding area.

Note: Apple Intelligence is not available on all iPhone models or in all languages or regions.** To access the most recent available features, make sure you’re using the latest version of iOS and have Apple Intelligence turned on.

Create an image from a rough sketch

  1. Go to the Notes app on your iPhone.

  2. Open an existing note or tap the New Note button to start a new note.

  3. Tap the Handwriting Tools button, create a sketch using your finger, then tap Image Wand.

  4. Circle your sketch, enter a description, then tap the Send button.

  5. Swipe through the created images to find one you like.

  6. Tap the Add button to choose a different style—Animation, Illustration, or Sketch.

To refine your image, tap a description, then edit it. To save it, tap Done.
