Image Playground is integrated into the Apple messages application, so it is available on iOS, iOS, iPados and MacOS on devices that support Apple Intelligence. There is also a Autonomous application. We tried it on a mac running macOS Sequoia 15.2.
At this stage, Image Playground is more a novelty, a fun way to generate images of AI and share them with friends on the text. It is not quite ready to go head-on with more seriousness Image generators Like Dall-E 3 or Adobe Firefly.
There are also guidelines on what you can create. For example, when entering a sentence, you will often be invited to add a theme or a person of the photo application before the image game image creates anything. Only a person’s face will be used, so no full bodies, and the faces will be centered, even if the accompaniment sentence is something like “doing a backflip”. (If you want to become weird, it seems that x Grok can help you.)
