Apple’s Image Playground doesn’t suck anymore
Apple is upgrading Image Playground to make its built-in AI image generator more useful and competitive.
Apple announced improvements to Image Playground at WWDC 2026, positioning the iPhone’s built-in AI image generator as a more capable tool. The update emphasizes natural-language photo transformations, multi-person image use, flexible output dimensions, and integrations across lock screens, iMessage backgrounds, and contact posters. TechCrunch has not tested it yet, but the presentation suggests Apple Intelligence apps may become more practical.
